Hi trgtgmat2013,

There are a couple of reasons why the second sentence is not grammatically correct.

1) Since the sentence is based on a Comparison, the two sentence fragments should be written in Parallel "format." The extra pronoun "that" is NOT parallel to anything in the first part of the sentence.
2) The words "that" and "those" are both pronouns that mean the same thing, so you don't need them both.

GMAT assassins aren't born, they're made,

Hi Rich ,

Thanks for the explanation , can you pls suggest on my below doubt.

Some scientists have been critical of the laboratary test conducted by the federal drug administration on the grounds that the amount of suspected carcinogens fed to animals far exceeds those that human could consume .

A)far exceeds those that human could consume

B)exceeds by far those humans can consume

C) far exceeds those humans are able to consume

D) exceed by far those able to be consumed by humans

E) far exceed those that humans could consume .

My doubt is both THAT and THOSE are pronoun so why both together in one sentence then Why OA E

PLs suggest
