If he is not given ample recovery time after the operation, he is liable to be disoriented and unable to perform routine tasks.

Does it have parallel construction? If so, pls explain..

Hi,
I don't know whether is parallegal contruction. It seems right though.
but isn't it like,
If X happens, then Y will happen. (?)

so, it should be
If he is not given ample recovery time after the operation, he WILL BE liable to be disoriented and unable to perform routine tasks.
please let me know whether this is wrong whoever finds it wrong. thanks.

hitmewithgmat ,
Even i'm confused.

Formula is, If X happens Y will happen.

A study commissioned by the department of agriculture showed that if calves exercise and associate with other calves, they require less medication and gain weight more quickly than those raised in confinement.

So, we can conclude that we shouldn't use this formula in GMAT. It might be wrong in some cases.

Guy, anyone can explain if i'm wrong??

i dont see any problem with the sentence...

we should not be using "will be" because then it would be redundant as "liable" conveys the message needed...
..

neone??


thanks
