Break down the SC by subject ?

The big difference between (a) and (e) is the voice used.

"Will be reported in" is the passive voice.

"Will report" is the adtive voice.

However, it does seem odd that (e) introduces "obituaries" (which means sort of the same thing as reporting on death, but not exactly). What's the source of this question? Including the source is always a good idea, so we know how likely it is that the question is flawed.

Hello

It is from Litesee SC Test 11, question 21.

Thanks

I've never heard of them - the source may be the problem.

Outside of the OG and some of the bigger test prep companies (which have resources to devote to making sure that their questions are very similar to GMAT questions), be very wary of the quality of practice questions.

Anyone can sit down and make up questions, the trick is designing questions that are (1) correct; and (2) GMATesque.

Well, choice a suggests that (among other actions) deaths approved by the directors will also be reported. While directors are quite powerful, I don't think they are there as yet
