Student Majors SC problem from ETS GMAT exam

Expert replies

Hey all,

I was wondering if someone can walk me thru the grammatical errors (first and second level) on this problem. I just want to improve on my errors. I don't understand why answer choice (B) is correct over (C). Thanks.

As business grows more complex, students majoring in specialized areas like those of finance and marketing have been becoming increasingly successful in the job market.

a. majoring in specialized areas like those of finance and marketing have been becoming increasingly

b. who major in such specialized areas as finance and marketing are becoming more and more

c. who majored in specialized areas such as those of finance and marketing are being increasingly

d. who major in specialized areas like those of finance and marketing have been becoming more and more

e. having majored in such specialized areas as finance and marketing are being increasingly

Like/Such As: Like to compare nouns, Such As is meant for examples.

I want to eat some sweets such as a chocolate or a pastry. (Like is wrong usage here)

Thus, A and D discarded.

Having and being both makes E wordy so discarded .

Between B and C, flaws in C
1. "majored": the sentence is showing a general statement which can be accepted as a general truth. So present simple tense required.
2. "those of": finance, marketing are themselves the specialized areas. Those of is ambiguous and unnecessary

Hope this helps
