these prep questions question my already weak SC abilities. i'll try it anyways.

A - including incorectly modifies company
B-which refers to compnay
C-included again refers to company

betw D and E i went for D as i preferred among them to among these and also threat of soudned better.
threat from sounds as if threat from a living thing.
idiom issues here? maybe some one can explain in detail..

Hi Rohu,

one way to solve this question is, we know the difference in meaning of sales of and sales for, frankly speaking i did notice the idiom for "threat" but i was not sure what to pick...anyways by applying sales of idiom u left with B and D and then in Op B use of WHICH is clearly incorrect.

I post this question so that people share their knowledge of idioms and their approach.
