IMO: B

For many travelers, charter vacations often turn out to cost considerably more than they originally seem to [cost].
parallelism between "out to cost " and "seem to cost"

Anju: The seem has to be used in past tense because we are referring to it in past as in out to cost.....originally "seemed" to cost.

In absense of this option I choose E.....it originally seemed they would.

Thanks For Your Help

I just answered this one in another thread. Take a look at my reply here (2nd page):
https://www.beatthegmat.com/sc-question-t6687.html

p.s. for others, this is why it's great to do a search before posting a new question - I think the other thread started after this one and if whoever it was had searched, then they could've just added to this thread and we'd have the entire discussion in one place!

"Target Test Prep is the closest to the official version of the GMAT exam, about 99% accuracy in terms of the quality and quantity of information. The course has excellently created singular sets of focused lessons and tests for every possible topic that one could come across in the official GMAT exam."

"The TTP course maximizes the efficiency of the time you spend studying. It will take time and effort but I could almost guarantee that if you complete the course exactly as it is laid out you will get an amazing score. They also have a very responsive team willing to help with any questions you might have."

"TTP has two things that I think no other test prep company offers: A teaching approach that reinforces understanding and an attitude that will give you the mental preparedness needed to succeed on the test. TTP gives you a deep understanding of the concept you need to know while teaching you how to think."
