SC 10th Ed Q67. Use of "they"

[priyakashyap3]

[deleted because problem is from a banned source - see below]

The OA is D. My doubt is between B and D

I have 2 questions:
1. Is nt "they" ambiguous in D? They can refer to employers or workers?
2. What is wrong with "so as to"?

Thanks in advance...

No, "they" is not ambiguous. Be very careful interpreting something as ambiguous; in ALMOST ALL cases where i've seen people claim a pronoun is ambiguous, there is really no ambiguity at all if the reader is willing to take an honest look at what the pronoun represents in the sentence..

On the other hand, "so as to" is problematic. Ask yourself what is being done "so as to" do something else, and it will become clear. It's probably also worth noting that "so as to" is not used correctly in any published SC question from the GMAT..
