Brief psychotherapy requires far fewer hours and costs far less money than traditional psychoanalysis, and so will hopefully prove to be an effective treatment for many of the large amount of people currently seeking therapy

A. will hopefully prove to be an effective treatment for many of the large amount of people currently seeking therapy

B. will prove hopefully to be an effective treatment for many of the large amount

C. hopefully will prove to be an effective treatment for many of the large number

D.will, it is hoped, prove to be an effective treatment for many of the large number

E. will, it is hoped, prove to be an effective treatment for many of the large amount

Discard A, B and E as people are countable. "Number of" is the correct usage not "amount of".

There are many discussions found here those say "Hopefully is always wrong in GMAT". Why hopefully is wrong you can go through this article: https://www.randomhouse.com/wotd/index.p ... e=19961122

Thus answer is D
If the problem is Easy Respect it, if the problem is tough Attack it

Choices A, B & E are out because all of them use large "amount". I would go with C. Awkward construction (passive voice) in D.

bblast.
The OA is D
From the above explanation given by Shovan85,I understand that use of "hopefully" is definitely wrong.
But "will, it is hoped really sounds odd

Shovan85, can you please explain this?

gtr02-I don't find any pronoun issues here."It" actually doesn't refer to anything.
Please go through below statements

1) It is very important that you eat all vegetables
2) It is nice to meet you.

What do u want me to explain ;)

I know usage of "Hopefully" in GMAT is almost always Wrong. But I am not saying that discard an option just by seeing "hopefully".

I think below is the possible ambiguity example that can rise by the usage of "Hopefully":

We'll hopefully go shopping tomorrow

So does this mean "if we are going to the shopping" or "we are going shopping in a hopeful manner (in order to get something )".

Grammatically, option C and D both are correct but C has the above kind of ambiguity.

As per IT pronoun ambiguity, Prachi is correct as per the examples. It is called "Place Holder".

The OA must be D.

C is incorrect because of the sequence in "hopefully will prove".

will should come before hopefully.
