Question

OA after some discussion

720dreaming · Answer

Interesting question.

Think compared to is wrong. Simply just need "to." I prefer apples to oranges. Not I prefer apples compared to oranges. The use of the word convinced, leads me to think that "will" is better than "would."

I got with A.

mals24 · Answer

Agree with A

The airlines executives are convinced that just as 1/3 blah blah, many travelers will use travel agents.

Correct idiom is prefer X to Y, rule out C, D, E

Between A and B. We don't need subjunctive 'would' The executives are convinced about the fact so use will. Subjunctive would be fine if the executives were not too sure about the fact or if they were hoping for the fact to be true.

Miss Verbal 2009 rocks the party!!

iamcste · Answer

Different approach

Long sentences...look for our modifier friends

First look--B and D gone

Restrictive modifiers are used in non resrtictive way

second look, Subject verbal agreeement

The number of people who purchase

The number of ..takes a singular verb and not plural

Eliminate E

C--- growing number of people purchasing....akward

But there is one more error

Online executives are convinced...( "that" is missing. A clause is introduced by "that")

Yes, Idioms work faster but go slim on exam ..dont put additonal weight on your body..read somwhere..Ohh Tip off (

) the day

Choose A

logitech · Answer

Compare the use of despite:

1. Despite the fact that I left work early, I nevertheless got home late.

2. Despite having left work early, I nevertheless got home late.

In sentence 1, "I left work early" could also function as an independent sentence.

In sentence 2, "having left work early" cannot function as an independent sentence.

despite the fact is not always wrong..just too wordy..

the eg you are showing me ...has lots of grave errors in other options so we have to choose the wordy option..

I feel that

if we have mistakes like idiom mismatch , pronoun error, subveb basic grammar errors they always take precedence over Wordiness .

Wordiness come into picture when you have two grammtically options and you have to choose a better one !!

hence, first try to choose "grammatical errrors" Wordiness occupies last rung...

yes, if something is truely akward dont waste time in analyzing the optin
