i guess the answer is "c" as it correctly says the introduction of both computer product and process....additionally;Being is always to be avoided

Looks like the Q is concentrating more on meaning.

A year advantage in a new computer product (there is nothing like a year advtg in a new computer product) is wrong. The sentence should reflect the introduction of a new computer product an year ahead of competitors. The introduction part also needs to be applied to the process along with the product.

by a year earlier is unnecessary usage of passive voice. an year earlier is more simpler.

A year's advantage to introduce sounds weird to me. Isn't it supposed to be "an year's" instead of "a year's". If there was "in introducing" vs " to introduce" it would be more difficult.

Can some guru's explain this Q and the correct answer?

I guess the answer is B

a... -> A year advantage sounds awkward
b. Introducing a new computer product or process by a year earlier -> Correct
c. A year's advantage to introduce a new computer product or process -> A year's advantage sounds awkward
e. Being a year ahead in introducing a new computer product or process -> Should avoid using being at the start of the sentence
d. To introduce a new computer product or process by a year earlier -> To introduce...can doesn't go well

OA pls.?

Introduce computer product and process give edge on its competitors... not a year ..
Ans should be B or D

I will go for D because Introducing is on going process and in sent. it taking about perticular senario ..

AO pls ?

AO pls ?

e. Being a year ahead in introducing a new computer product or process

I am gonna go with the above answer. What is the correct answer?

Chioce 'B' looks more logical to me here.

What's the OA with explanation !!



Amit

I feel the answer is e .

D

pls post the OA

B

d - meaning is not the same, secondly I haven't seen even a single sentenc in OG where an infinitive acted as noun

the answer is D..
i thought "Being" is not usually correct

btw the OA is B

Here, D(e) in the given options sounds best...But a rule saying avoid being questions it .
btw .. Why is being always avoided ?

Of B & D, I'll go with B.
Introduc"ing" shows that the advantage comes at the same time as the product or process is introduced.
"Being" is avoided because, typically it makes the sentence wordy/long. Hence, in GMAT english one should always avoid any sentence with "being"
