I think that the answer should be B. Fascination and market are singular, so "has" and "is" should be used.

What's the OA?

Actually, I believe that the answer is E. anju: "account of" is right. However, the use of "account for" in D changes the meaning of the sentence. "account for" explains the reason for something or it forms the total of an amount of something. "account of" exp...

I substituted values for x. Then I checked to see if the answer choice were factors of y.

I could easily eliminate all the values except 6.

For each of the statements, put 2 in the place that the statement says the two is in. Then, divide by either 100 or 1000 (depending on the statement). Finally, check to see if the 2 ends up in the hundredths spot.

Hope this helps.
