Hello Everyone, after lot of introspection, I thought to practice SC from 1000 SC
But I faced many questions where I am not sure of OA.

So I am posting them for discussions here


7. A firm that specializes in the analysis of handwriting claims from a one-page writing sample that it can assess more than three hundred personality traits, including enthusiasm, imagination, and ambition.
(A) from a one-page writing sample that it can assess
(B) from a one-page writing sample it has the ability of assessing
(C) the ability, from a one-page writing sample, of assessing
(D) to be able, from a one-page writing sample, to assess
(E) being able to assess, from a one-page writing sample

OA D
IMO A

Hi gmat740,

A and B imply that the ability of the firm is arising from the page. However that is not true. The firm has the ability to do something. That something is that from one page it can............

E is unidiomatic.

We have C and D remaining.

remove the part "from a one-page writing sample" and try to join the sentence.
"to be able to asses" is better than "ability of assessing".

Also, C has a "ing"

Think.. can you claim something like tshi from one page writing sample.. no .. so A and B are ruled out
we use claim to or .. . ability to .. or able to .. so C is ruled out

D is teh right answer
