Q1: Ans: [c]
"interpreted as" is the correct idiom.
"are beginning to" is the right placement at the end of the sentence.

d and e have "which" in their sentences - the word is ambiguous as it is unclear whether the main subject is oil inventory or a drop in oil prices. Incorrect!
a and b clearly sound wordy and incorrect!

Q2: Ans:

the sentence is in simple past where there are 2 descriptions of a particular work.
Also, that.. that.. is good parallelism.
so B is correct!

I think in this two events occurred in the past and in sequence. So I used past perfect and simple past tense. No other than "C" gives this. I think "C" is the right question. But, a bit confused with it in the last. Please clarify.

1st split: comma after "a word that" is wrong => cross A & D
2nd split: "had taken" vs "took": no need for past perfect; past tense is sufficient
Choose B

Hey Stacey!!
The use of past perfect in the option "C" is not wrong?
Do reply!

Mukherjee

IMO First QA : D (Option A,B,C start with "a development" right after "oil inventory". This is incorrect modification. Between D & E Interpreted as is the correct idiom)

Second QA : B

All : in Q1 I didn't't understand what author is trying to say "reported sharp drop in oil prices about oil inventory,". Looks like I am missing something obvious here.

Q 1) D
Q 2) B

For the illiad question "pronounced it as " is gramatically incorrect. Pronounced as works

For the first question it is always idiomatically correct to use interpreted as and not "interpreted to be".
