Is this a typical GMAT question? I am not certain of the source's authenticity.

[Ali Tariq]

No.

[Ali Tariq]

Errors in B, D, and E are typical of GMAT.

However, the distinction between A and C is not. Both are workable.

[ceilidh.erickson]

Ali is right: both A and C would be correct answers here. Where did you find this question? It's clearly not from a high-quality source.

The sentence itself also contains a grammatical flaw: there should be a comma after "uncertain." You should refrain from studying from this source.
