I have gut feeling that here "do" is implied. Don't you agree?

Comet 1 will pass at about same distance as will comet 2 (do)
bracket is to indicate the implied...

Thanks pahwa..

Danielle, whats your take in this one? I am also confused b/w D & E. The only diff is the position of "will" and to me E seems more clear and structured.

Tks

I will go with D and donot think "do" is necessary here. The D is clear and makes the right construction.

Pahwa is right. 'do' is implied. In fact, that is why you rarely see 'will do' written out.

D is the best choice given the problem with 'do', but allow me to point out that this is a crappy sentence. It's awkward and would not be spoken or written like this in real life. In the GMAT reality though, D is the answer. Thank God we don't live there, eh? Real reality is way better!

"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."
