Hi Ron, I'm confused why OG says that "reference of them" in choice C "is unclear"? I thought "them" refers to "only four million people", because Manhattan GMAT gives an example on this issue. On page 72 of the fifth edition, "The board is investigating...

Grazie mille!

Ron,
In choice A, if it were true,Pronoun "they" refer to "there" or " tiny islets"??

Thanks in advance.

As the honeybee’s stinger is heavily barbed, staying where it is inserted, this results in the act of stinging causing the bee to sustain a fatal injury. A.As the honeybee’s stinger is heavily barbed, staying where it is inserted, this results in the act of stinging causing B.As the heavily barbed s...

Ron, In choice A, if it were true,Pronoun "they" refer to "there" or " tiny islets"?? Thanks in advance. Let me help you answer your own question. "they" is a plural pronoun and thus is replacing a plural noun in the sentence. You should be able to take that ...

Thank you very much! I have some problems between "comma,-ing"and "comma,prep phrase" 1. Both of them modify verb(no matter in main sentence or subordinate sentence ),depending on the meaning. 2.Both of them modify subject(no matter in main sentence or subordinate sentence ),depe...

Thank you,it's very kind of you. In choice C, pronoun"they" refers "tiny islets",because"there" is not a noun.While the sentence does't make sense,because the subject should be" the new maritime code". Is it right?? "They" appears nowhere in choice ...

I thought that the sentence means --- He is the CEO of an MNC, which (the MNC) is soaring quickly; isn't so? That's exactly what the sentence means, and exactly why the sentence is nonsense. Companies don't fly through the air. Is "soaring" a adjective? 1.soaring MNC/MNC is soaring 2.Risi...

other wrong choices: (b) "...that pose any threat to..." is a modifier, so this sentence is actually saying that there's no proof of the existence of the electromagnetic fields themselves. that's not what it's supposed to say. (d) according to the wording of this one, the proof itself wou...

In choice D: paleontologists have found huge fossil bones from what appears to be the second most massive dinosaur. "what" refers to what?the...dinosaur? then the sentence turns to be paleontologists have found huge fossil bones from the...dinosaur appears to be the...dinosaur ? is it stra...

I have read all the posts,while I still have some confusion. 1. In choice B, Subject,which...(date),making...,verb+object. "which"modifies subject,"making" modifies"date" or "verb"? because -ing can modifies the noun preceding it( without comma ) if "maki...

Ron,you mean, In the past several years, astronomers have detected more than 80 massive planets , most of them at least as large as Jupiter, circling other stars. the colored phrase is an appositive of planets, so it is non essential,and can be eliminated with two commas,then In the past several yea...

Ron, 1. as you say: choice b is correct: it uses a nonessential modifier set off by commas ('of up to 600 rooms each'), which, if eliminated, yields the intact and legitimate sentence ...carefully engineered structures, connected by... (with another nonessential modifier). while in this situation: I...

#2 is wrong, because it suggests that "her letter" is one of the organization's goals. This kind of modifier should be adjacent to whatever it is describing. Like "which". As you said e.g,In the fourth lane is Tony Cardinale, the son of Vinny and Alessandra Cardinale, two former...
