So figuring out this one is a matter of correctly choosing the case of the two pronouns. The first is a choice between he and him. He is the nominative case and him in the objective. In this case, the answer is him because in this sentence him is the direct object of the verb phrase "could have...

Hey -- just a quick review. Pronouns have something called case, and there are three: nominative, objective and possessive. Nominative vs. objective is one that a lot of folks struggle with. Here is the quick and dirty rule: Nominative case pronouns are I, she, he, we, they, and who. They are used a...

1) "That" can be used for plural items, and it is appropriate in this case. Which would be appropriate if trying to express a particular subset of new ideas, whereas this clause is added additional information applicable to ALL new ideas. 2) In this sentence which refers to "soft thin...

The verb "settling" must be paralleled because it's not in the underlined portion. D is the best choice because in addition to the parallel verbs, it also correctly applies the idiom "either X or Y".

To second Eric, the sentence is correct because of the clause/phrase issue. The first part of the sentence is a phrase, and therefore is not modifying anything. "She" clearly refers to the girl because in English inanimate objects don't have a gender and are referred to with the pronoun &q...

C is the answer because "different from" is the correct idiom. As for different from and differs from, these are different parts of speech. "Different from" is an adjective phrase used after the verb (usually is/are/was/etc), i.e. The sun is different from the moon. "Differs...

Vam82 is absolutely correct about this idiom, although the reason that D is not the answer is because it uses "made" instead of "modeled". You can't make X after Y -- that's not an idiom at all, so D is incorrect, leaving B as the answer.

Auzbee's right on target, although the particulars on which/that are very involved. It's important you find a source (manhattan SC works really well) that goes over this in detail and offers practice exercises because the GMAT tests this knowledge over and over.

"Rate of addition" and "rate of loss" are both singular, so verbs that associate with them should be plural. That's why this one is tricky. Thanks, sujay, for the link to the other discussion!

BandN,

C is the correct answer. Although public company is singular, "disclose" is the right verb form. This is somewhat idiomatic. It goes "require X disclose Y", whether the X is singular or plural.

Well, there are many constructions where either is correct, i.e. Alicia wasn't able to prove that she wasn't at the party. Alicia brought photos in order to prove that she was at the party. (Now in this case, you could use "to prove" also and be grammatically correct.) "In order to&qu...

Q1. The example question has incorrect grammar because of "and see". It should be the infinitive form of the verb here, "to see". That means that you can eliminate A & D. B -- "one" is an ambiguous pronoun. could refer to poachers or rhinoceroses. Need to specify wh...
