I am sorry but I think I should not have posted the GMAT Prep questions directly in this forum. Sorry for that. But these two questions were bugging me greatly. I got the solution of the first question from a different post but still not sure about the second one.

As my GMAT exam is on the 1st of December, I could use all the practice that I can access to. Thanks.

for the first question I would say D, but simply because if such a question comes out at the GMAT, and any of the A - B - C would be correct, then somebody might argue that even E would be correct...so, don't lose time and try with D!
