The advice given to test takers that they should not study the day before a test is particularly relevant for standardized tests in which memorization plays a small role, because test takers who jam their heads full of information are often worse off compared to that of test takers who relax on the previous day.

a-compared to that of
b-compared to those
c-than
d-than those
e-as

Ans c

dear manpreet ..

i suggest that you too participate in the discussion rathan than just posting questions. the source of these questions and what for reason you might consider these questions to be ambiguous, this will enhance mutual learning.

X are worse than Y ..

A & B are immediately out of contention, since they use compared to.

E erroneously uses as

C should be correct since than maintains paralellisim.

I have a query.Suppose in option C the words"who", which are used to refer the test takers are not mentioned. In that case will Option D be correct.

Or, let me out this like this

When will option D be correct?
You can, for example never foretell what any one man will do, but you can say with precision what an average number will be up to!

I concur.
A good question also deserves a Thanks.

Vinay,

Hmm.. that got me thinking.

if the "who" are removed, Option D may make sense.

But when x is compared to Y, "than" is necessary

I too agree with Bharth and faraz :), would love to be part of your discussion here, but i have my gmat exam next week so don't have so much time on my hands.

The questions that i post here are normally those which i got stuck in,or felt they were tricky,so i post those for further discussion by community members.

Hi All,

The word "than" is appropriate for most situations that involve a comparison of some type:

"more than"
"less than"
"greater than"
"fewer than"
"worse off than"
etc.

You'll likely face this issue at least once on the GMAT, so keep it in mind whenever an apparent comparison occurs in an SC.
