IMO B

Hi To me B seems to be correct as the Philological Society started working in 1860 and it took them 60 years so the action is completed in past so i would chose "took" rather than "would" and b/w B and E B seems more logical as the action is completed in past so usage of was seem...

A correction

Hi Madhur

How can tax return be singular as we are talking about more than one person

Every person will will file his own tax return
So 3 people will file 3 tax returns

So tax returns will be plural only

IMO C

other way to look at this sentence is by comparison

quality of products delivered by farm animals is
compared with manufactured goods
Only C brings out that comparison correctly

comparison

the sentence requires you to compare investors with other people so the
part " for homeowners" should follow after comma and of the two choices that have this thing "they are " is better because sentence talks about property values that is plural


So answer should be C

right choice is D

If you see choice E it mentions
although statistics clearly associates

but as statistics are plural we should use associate with it
so the right answer is D

rest all the choices are also wrong as relationship is singular and they use remain with it rather than remains

Hope this helps

the answer is B i guess

In choice C that is
(C) to dull “basal readers,” Ms. Burton emphasizes that it is important to enjoy

"it" used is ambigous, it is not clear what it is referring to

B is a better choice of all the above.

Please post the OA

I think answer is E

A is not correct as it is not parallel in the original sentence they are talkin about "but unlike men of science"
so choice E seems to be better

Whats the OA and source of this question?
