Not the single clearest question I have ever seen, but choice C seems to be the better answer. I understand what you are saying, kschow, about it being hard for a child to lose an amulet or bracelet, however, at least it says that children OFTEN lose. And this seems to be less of an assumption (a c...

Even i Picked D but OA is C . Reason :- Nowhere it is mentioned in the argument that an increase in the number of injuries caused by people who have attempted home repairs themselves is due to the do-it-yourself instructions on the Internet . What has been mentioned is not all of the do-it-yourself...

IMO B.
The modifier 'Despite being more complicated than four-handed canasta' is more correctly placed in Option B and E. Tense error (continuous tense) rules out E.

The clause - '... I have had a savings account for over twenty years' is a Non-Essential Modifier. Non-Essential Modifiers usually use a 'which'.

ManhattanGMAT says - In any list of action nouns, always choose the choose the complex gerund phrase (often with articles and the word Of ) over the simple gerund phrase. And to answer killerdrummer's question - No, you cannot compare ...
