I think it should be A

B and C are wrong because majority(subject) doesnt agree with are(verb)

E:- 'expected for' is unidiomatic
D:- Looks awkward

here r two examples from manhuttan sc -
1)the majority of the students in this class are hard workers.

2)the student majority is opposed to the death penalty.

here "majority" is plural or singular depending upon the context.

now in the question above, the first half of the sentence says "Women are expected ....................,.............."hence the sentence is indicating to an event which is expected to happen in the near future.therefore we require a future tense in the second half of the sentence.

eliminate A n D bcoz "placing" is present continuous tense.
antecedant of "which" in C n E is not clear.

hence IMO B.


Thanks!

Women

by poseidon344 » Wed Dec 03, 2008 9:39 am
This might help:

Women are expected to be majority is awkward construction in gmat....expected to be majority----
Also, trend placing it is not trend placing it self-
the correct usage is a trend that will----it hasn't happened yet...
The original sentence using ing---indicates that it is happening now or the same time- which is incorrect----
imo-b

A. Women are expected to be the majority of students entering law school this fall, a trend ultimately placing

Women are expected to be the majority --- awkward construction

B. The majority of students entering law school this fall are expected to be women, a trend that will ultimately place

Correct


C. The majority of students entering law school this fall are expected to be women, which will ultimately place

"Which" illogically refering to woman

D. It is expected that the majority of students entering law school this fall will be women, a trend ultimately placing

Subject verb inversion ---not a preferred option in GMAT

E. It is expected for women to be the majority of students entering law school this fall, which will ultimately place

Which" illogically refering to fall

IMO A.

B. The majority of students entering law school this fall are expected to be women, a trend that will ultimately place

Do you think "a trend" is modifying "women"?

Women are expected to be the majority of students entering law school this fall, a trend ultimately placing[/u] more women in leadership positions in politics and business.

Expected implies a future action. Eliminate A and D




B. The majority of students entering law school this fall are expected to be women, a trend that will ultimately place

C. The majority of students entering law school this fall are expected to be women, which will ultimately place


E. It is expected for women to be the majority of students entering law school this fall, which will ultimately place

C and E uses which as a wrong modifier.

Choose (B)
