I think the same. "thought" so we have to use "had" to specify an action that happened before "thought" We need an expert here.. In this case I guess A is correct because here person 'always' thought but this thinking got changed due to any reason. I want to know whethe...

Great. Thanks for sharing :-) There is one important concept rahul, Two/more singular nouns/ pronouns joined by ' and' requires a plural verb. Eg. gold and silver are precious metals. But if the nouns suggest one idea to the mind/ refer to the same person, the verb is ' singular'. Eg. Time and tide ...

This seems to be a good counter example, I have the same doubt. Can someone explain please? I don't understand this either. MGMAT says the following is correct in its SC Guide: The teacher THOUGHT that Jimmy HAD CHEATED on the exam. Isn't this the same idea? ... studies LED him to propose that ... H...

Your explanation is really good, but for option C I would like to point out that it is wrong because it changes the meaning of the sentence, I don't see a problem with parallelism in C. According to A - The town is famous because of the "The Godfather" but C says the ailing mobster was fam...

I may be wrong, but I think for an event that is referring to past we shouldn't use -ing form. Option A has "arising simultaneously with" but this is something that has happened in the past, so arose is a better choice.

C seems to be the best bet here. On the other hand A was also close, but A mentions private insurers but according to the argument hospitals lose money because government reimburses poorly.

Answer should be C Statement 1 - x = 7, y = 1, or x = -7, y = -1, or x = 49, y = 1/7 satisfy the statement Statement 2 - this tells us nothing but x and y are integers, they could be any integer combining the statements - we get x = 7, y = 1 and x = -7, y = -1, but (x - y)^4 will have the same value...
