Hi aditya8062, The "it causes red welts to appear, posing minor health risks to infants" part of the sentence is correct. "It" refers to the sting, which has the effect of causing red welts to appear, which pose minor health risks. The sentence doesn't actually use "which&qu...

Hi aditya8062, You are correct to eliminate answer choice C because of the "particularly vulnerable to their " part of the sentence. "Their" is not the best pronoun, because the sentence is talking about the sting (singular), not the scorpions (plural). Answer D uses "its,&q...

Hi sarthak.agarwal, Of the three, the best choice is the third one: "I took this photo with my phone." The preposition "with" correctly suggests that you used your phone to take a photo. The preposition "on" is incorrect in this sentence. It would be acceptable to say, ...

Hi again imskpwr, English often has sentences that contain verbs with different tenses. It happens when a sentence has more than one clause (a clause is a group of related words that have a subject and a verb). One clause might use one tense, while another clause has a different tense. Here is an ex...

AndyMann, You've highlighted the correct rules, and also a dodgy question. Good work. Answer D is the best among the answer choices, but ALL of the answer choices break the rule with respect to placement of the verb-ed too far away from the noun upon which it is supposed to act. Due to the slow-movi...

Hi imskpwr, The answer you quoted seems overly complex, and not entirely correct, to me. For example, neither "hatched" nor "permeating" are adjectives - they are verbs. Let's look at the correct sentence (A), and the two verb tenses bolded below: The simple concept of personal c...

Hi j_shreyans, The correct answer is A . The reason D is incorrect has to do with "all" and "one," shown in red below: The jersey of the Colombian soccer club Independiente MedellÃn is emblazoned with five stars, all of which represent one of the club's five national titles. It ...

Nice analogy Ameya! As you noted, j_shreyans, we want to strengthen the author's argument. As Ameya points out, D does not actually strengthen the argument. In truth, we don't know what will happen over the course of the day - it could be that three iced tea beverages all sold within the first hour ...

Hi j_shreyans, It comes down to an absurdist argument to prove that C is correct. Here goes... What if the cooler was stocked in the morning with 16 iced tea beverages, and 15 TRILLION cola beverages? The point is, no matter how many of either beverage was stocked, we could still have the result tha...

That made me laugh, aditya8062, good job! Maybe "sentiment" is the wrong word. My point is that C is LEAST LIKELY to occur. A court is not likely to uphold the right of a government office to destroy documents, "created in the course of running the government, thereby denying public a...

The passage tells us that a "do not destroy documents" sentiment exists, as per the following snippet: "Government officials, opponents maintain, are civil servants; the public should thus have the right to review any documents created during the conducting of government business.&quo...

Hi aditya8062, We're looking for the answer choice which is LEAST likely to occur. Answer B is actually LIKELY to occur. (B) A private-sector employer is found liable for wiretapping an office telephone conversation in which two employees exchanged disparaging information about their supervisor. In ...

Hi j_shreyans, For answer D to be true (remember, we're looking for the answer that must be true, meaning that everything in the answer has to be true), two things must be true: D) 45% of the voters in the election were male and none of them were 75 years old. One of the things is the percentage of ...
