It happened because the internal policy of transliteration in our country have changed. So, I have identical names in my GMAT and TOEFL reports, but ...


Hi Sachin. Have a look at my conversation with Celikh about RC. She gave me a good advice. The link is in the topic. RCs can actually be tough. Let me explain why.

As for the other place where ARE is a helping verb - THAN STATUTORY EMPLOYEES vs. THAN ARE STATUTORY EMPLOYEES - this isn't really a parallelism issue. It's a meaning issue with comparisons.

It was tricky - I have chosen "E" for the first time. A, B, D are eliminated by obvious reasons. We are left with C and E. I remember the very similar question from MGMAT, where "double the figure" was preferred over "double what it was". http://www.beatthegmat.com/twic...
