I believe the answer is E. This should be in one of the official guides or MGMAT test.

This one is a nice one!


"The Dancing Doll line did" should be parallel to the "Teeny Tiny Trucks line sold"

this error in not corrected in D and E, hence out.

in B "what" is not correct,
In C the word "line" is missing which changes meaning.

Hence A is the answer.

Mods - Can you please help if this line of reasoning is correct?
Also, can we eliminate the choices on the basis of the usage of As much as and more than. Which one is apt here? I have read that much is uncountable, so can we eliminate choices on the basis of these?

Please help?

D and E are comparing "The Dancing Doll line sold" with "the Basic Blocks line" which I think is incorrect. We need to compare the sales not the company itself.

Please discuss !

I am really confused with this one. I think we need Ron or someone else to explain it.

I appreciate that source must be cited, otherwise it looks like waste of time going through such posts.

I think there should be a "source" field as well [ like "subject" field] to fill out and made necessary to be filled before the post is acceptable for publishing.

This question is from Kaplan. Look for the official explanation on the Internet, if you are interested.

I think Kaplan is a banned source so I'll rephrase the question.


I run faster than 14 km/h, 40% faster than John, and three times faster than Bob

I have a couple of questions here

Is the sentence above correct? would it be better or wordier if I added the helping verb? for instance

I run faster than 14 km/h, 40% faster than John does, and three times faster than Bob does

Could I write a question such as I run faster than 14km/h, than John, and than Bob?

would it be better to write

my running/average speed is greater than 14km/h, than John's, and than Bob's?

Thank you in advance.

IMO

I run at a speed faster than 14 km/h, 40% faster than John, and three times faster than Bob.

comparison has to be made between the speeds.

am I right ? I am asking as I dont have access to kaplan. sorry for that.

look at this post as well where i have raised the almost the same issue already-

Kaplan is, in fact, a banned source - not through our choice, though. Kaplan specifically (and via legal means) requested that we not host any of their material on our site. I had to delete everything - sorry. :(

That's a great idea! I'll forward to our IT director.
