It was an increase in reported cases of malaria along the Gulf Coast that in 1921 led the health authorities’ granting a permit for experimentation with human subjects to the group that later would be called by the name of Unimedco.

I think D is the correct answer

we have to use the form "to grant" rather than "granting" and between D and E, D is less wordy and more concise.

well..the ans should be A.
idoms are - experiment with
we should use "ing" the reason being - earlier in one post stuart mentied that if its jump from noun or just before that word if it is a noun then we should always use participle..
so just after health authorities -- ing should be used.

the correct idiom is 'to grant'

that rules out A,B and C


D and E remain
I choose E as the sentence is clear

what is the OA?

Sentence Correction :: RE: unimedco

by sanjaylakhani » Tue May 20, 2008 8:49 am
Hi

Led the authorities to grant - seems right to me.

D seems logical but still one doubt - what about HUMAN EXPERIMENTATION- does it convey the same meaning as experimentation with human subjects ????

Experiment With - is correct idiom but experiment with humans OR experiment on humans Vs Human experiments?

Doesn't HUMAN EXPERIMENTS- seem very illogical- here as we are not talking abt morality of experiments but rather on whom the experiments are being conducted

Can experts advise. Seems no expert is willing to help these days...

imo D


for me 'called' and 'by the name of' are redundant

for example:

Michael Jackson is also called MJ - correct

Michael Jackson is also called by the name of MJ? - not correct

Between "D" and "E", E seems more wordier to me.
I will go with "E"
Whats OA

look at the apostrofe

by robzoc » Thu Oct 30, 2008 12:30 pm
it seems something wrong with the apostrofe.

The correct idiom shouldn´t be to grant ...to ?

also IMO the answer should be D.

E seems to be wordy, I agree with some of you guys.

what´s the OA ?
