OA: ??

can you pls explain your choice? to me 'Have' (E) appears to be a better choice than 'has' (A).

been eaten -> has / have .
any of pies -> singular .

Hence A.

IMO E

SANAM - Some, Any, None, All, Many, Most - can be either singular or plural depending upon the context of the sentence.

Most of the chairs are gone. (Countable)
Most of the furniture is gone. (Mass noun, not countable)

Someone has to stop you here!
If you know the OA you can post, otherwise its better to shut.

Whenever a new post is made in the topic, people who follow it will check the post awaiting some valuable information.

But when people like you post something which is useless, it really sucks.
Please stop this act of yours!

I am no longer going to be on this Forum .
Been here since 2010 and i have come across lots of helpful people but off late the junta on this Forum has really degraded in social etiquette .
Its sad that i had to leave this way .
I have always wanted to give back something to this forum instead of looking around for ways to throw my weight around . This is not in keeping with the culture that a forum should reflect .

hey guys... cool down. is this wat we r preparing for "management"?? management is all abt controlling and cooperating....
well, i jst get to think at times how we all can afford to get into such useless argument and get our egos hurt wen out gmat dates r fast approaching.
Lets forget all hard feelings and pour in your thoughts about the ques. i dont think this is real GMAT real, but its good for understanding the concepts.

Locking this thread.

Please, everyone, calm down. The house rules state that you should post the original answer. If you doubt it, then express your doubt or state that you'll post the OA after some discussion. It's not the end of the world if someone doesn't post the OA either, but it would comply better with the rules of the forum. I disagree that "If you know the OA you can post, otherwise its better to shut." What if someone just forgets to post the OA?

I see no reason for you to start insulting each other. I appreciate you being nice to each other - we support our members!

"Target Test Prep is the closest to the official version of the GMAT exam, about 99% accuracy in terms of the quality and quantity of information. The course has excellently created singular sets of focused lessons and tests for every possible topic that one could come across in the official GMAT exam."

"The TTP course maximizes the efficiency of the time you spend studying. It will take time and effort but I could almost guarantee that if you complete the course exactly as it is laid out you will get an amazing score. They also have a very responsive team willing to help with any questions you might have."

"TTP has two things that I think no other test prep company offers: A teaching approach that reinforces understanding and an attitude that will give you the mental preparedness needed to succeed on the test. TTP gives you a deep understanding of the concept you need to know while teaching you how to think."
