i am confused how which is not reffering to nearest noun it is attched to.
is there any exception to this rule.

I eliminated d and E based on violation of which rule.
and then B and C for not being llel( begin and end)
left with A , however i was not satisfied with the use of outnumbering i opted for A , being sure of my elimination
But was surprised by OA

The nearest noun that "which" is attached to is "a person". Which cannot refer to a person. That's why which refers to the letters.

pheonix bhai,

I would do like this:

"outnumber should be used instead of " outnumbering:

So we are left with B & E.

As u rightly said ...quote : "then B and C for not being llel( begin and end)"...

So we are left with E.

Since "which" does not create ambiguity i its meaning we can click E..

Received a PM asking me to respond. I'm sorry I'm just getting to your message now; I've been on vacation since 23 June.

FYI - you may not have gotten a response from an expert yet because you posted an image of the problem rather than typing out the text of the problem. This violates a forum rule - images are to be used only when the problem contains a diagram or picture that cannot be recreated via a text post.

This is a rule because, when we hit reply, we can only see the text of the problem if the problem has been typed into the post. (Try it - there's no problem to look at if the problem was posted as an image.) We have a very limited amount of time to answer questions, so we need you to help us make it as efficient as possible to answer as many questions as possible in the time that we have.

Long story short: please post the text of this problem as text and I will be happy to respond.
