A - which it is hoped can be ........................ -misplaced modifier.
B - changes the meaning of the sentence.
D - antecedant of which is not clear.
E - awkward construction.


hence IMO C.


Thanks!

IMO E

@ Shipra & Loki, more often than not on the GMAT, the word 'hopefully' is wrong.

HOPEFULLY DOSENT MEAN 'IT IS HOPED'

Wrote in bold so that everyone who reads it remembers the difference, no offence meant :)

Cheers!

Well I wrote this :
A: 51 million dollars is not one to be completed. incorrect
B : Something in future but sentence says hopefully completed (past) incorrect
C : Sounds correct to be completed …..will cost
D: which can wordy and not correct
E: Sounds correct and can is more apt

Between c and e ..will go fro C

But after reading reply of reach ac I think E is a better anser....

Whats the OA guys ???

Yes, Hopefully and being are siblings on the GMAT

A is wrong as which refers to 51 mil dollars

B & C down for hopefully

Which in D refers to steel mill also singular program needs costs

E remains and is good

On a side note, why are we talking about a program that will be or can be completed in 1980's if we are in 2008 That was ambiguous to me. Can we expect such questions on the original test?
Please do not post answer along with the Question you post/ask

Let people discuss the Questions with out seeing answers.

Hopefully is NEVER correct on the GMAT, hopefully !

by Arabian Baba » Wed Jun 25, 2008 7:38 pm
So we are down to C and E;

C contains HOPFULLY which is never correct on the GMAT

E lacks fluidity, as it is loaded with too many sentence fragments, we have no other choice as all of them are INCORRECT but to go with E.

Remember the GMAT asks you to choose the best answer of the 5 choices.
