More than have any of its competitors, Dynacorp, which will release its annual earnings report on Friday, is staking its future on the business of bringing shale gas from formerly inaccessible locations like the Arctic and energy-hungry nations like India and China.

A-More than have any of its competitors, Dynacorp, which will release its annual earnings report on Friday, is staking its future on the business of bringing shale gas from formerly inaccessible locations like the Arctic and energy-hungry nations like India and China.

B-More than has any of its competitors, Dynacorp, which will release its annual earnings report on Friday, has staked its future on the business of bringing shale gas from formerly inaccessible locations like the Arctic to energy-hungry nations like India and China.

C-More so than any of its competitors, Dynacorp, which will release its annual earnings report on Friday, is staking its future on the business of bringing shale gas from formerly inaccessible locations like the Arctic and energy-hungry nations such as India and China.

D-More than any of its competitors have, Dynacorp, which will release its annual earnings report on Friday, staked its future on the business of bringing shale gas from formerly inaccessible locations like the Arctic and energy-hungry nations such as India and China.

E-More than any of its competitors, Dynacorp, which will release its annual earnings report on Friday, is staking its future on the business of bringing shale gas from formerly inaccessible locations like the Arctic to energy-hungry nations like India and China.

I couldn't find any flaw with D. So choose it.But the OA is E.I don't know how.Experts pl explain.

The "which" part says "will" so we need present tense and not past in the verb. So, "is staking" is better selection.

Some verbs forms are composed of a HELPING VERB and a PARTICIPLE:
has written
is walking
are formed.
In each of the verb forms above, the verb in red is a HELPING VERB -- also known as an auxiliary verb -- followed by a PARTICIPLE.

Rule:
A participle may be omitted only if it appears in the same form EARLIER IN THE SENTENCE.

D implies the following:
More than any of its competitors have [staked], Dynacorp staked.
Here, the participle in brackets is omitted but implied.
Since this participle does NOT appear earlier in the sentence, the construction in D is faulty.
Eliminate D.

Hi Mitch,
Is the part"...nations like India and China" right? "Like" isn't right here i think.Pl correct me if I am wrong.

Hi Mitch ,

Can you please explain more ; I didn't understand above part.
ELLIPSIS is the omission of words whose presence is understood.
As discussed in my post above, a PARTICIPLE may be omitted only if it appears in the SAME FORM earlier in the sentence.
SC91 in the OG13:
In an effort to reduce their inventories, Italian vintners have cut prices;their wines have been priced to sell, and they are

(A) have been priced to sell, and they are
(B) are priced to sell, and they have
(C) are priced to sell, and they do
(D) are being priced to sell, and have
(E) had been priced to sell, and they have
A: wines...priced to SELL, and they are [SELLING].
Here, the participle in brackets (selling) is omitted but implied.
Since this participle does not appear earlier in the sentence, eliminate A.

B, D, and E: wines...priced to SELL, and they have [SOLD].
Here, the participle in brackets (sold) is omitted but implied.
Since this participle does not appear earlier in the sentence, eliminate B, D and E.

The correct answer is C.

OA: wines priced to SELL, and they do [SELL].
Here, the participle in brackets (sell) is omitted but implied.
This participle DOES appear earlier in the sentence.
Also please advise uses of LIKE in OA is correct?

Many thanks in advance.

The OA to the SC posted at top:
formerly inaccessible locations like the Arctic
Here, like seems intended to introduce an EXAMPLE of formerly inaccessible locations.
On the GMAT, like means SIMILAR TO; it cannot serve to introduce examples.
The OE for SC28 in the OG12 reads as follows:
"Like" is the wrong word to introduce examples.
In the OA to the SC posted at top, like seems misused -- another reason to ignore this SC.
