Correct answers:
[spoiler]1. a
2. c
3. b[/spoiler]
Doubts:
1. Why B is incorrect
2. Why B is incorrect
3. Why A is incorrect... isn't "opinion on" correct idiom?

I agree with you but the correct ans choice doesn't use "such as" either

for 1st A is correct ( comparison word AS and THAN does not req verb to be repeaated )
B is in correct bcoz of absence of verb were.
For 2nd there is no comparison being done so we dont need as or than
for 3rd i think all the choices are having some issues but In GMAT sometime we have to chose Best in the worst.
A)like is used for giving example...wrong need such as
B)except opinion in everything luks fine so keep it
C)again like used for giving eg. wrong
D)the shaping of public opinion for luks wordy
E)its wordy and opinion around is definitely wrong.
and for your doubt on

i think both are correct but i will Prefer B for being straightness.... and rest depends on the context of the sentence

It does not matter how many times you get knocked down , but how many times you get up
Someone please explain the reason behind OAs for 1st and 2nd..
as far as 2nd is considered, I read somewhere about the thumb rule..whenever 'times' is used 'as' should follow.. but it appears the thumb rule doesn't fit here..
when to use 'as', 'that','than'..?
For the 1st..i'm listless to remove even a single choice out of scope..

I think the explanation is:
Ques. 1:
b "than born" shows comparison of babies rather than women
c out of scope as it misses verb in subordinate clause i.e. than they were
d and e - incorrect use of past perfect as both types of women i.e. under 30 and over 30 gave birth in the same period of time.
a correctly compares women under and over 30
Ques. 2.:
I think confusion might be between b and c. b is wrong as no comparison is made between prices of two things. and that is suitable in this context.
Any suggestions are most welcome
