<p>This is verb tense question and the answer is B. Why 'C' can not be an answer?
Can you explain the reason?</p>

<p>This is hard one. The answer is B. Can you explain the reason?</p>

<p>(A) they complement

<b>(C) complementing </b>
(D) which complement
(E) and complementing</p>
<p>It is C. Keep in mind the comma. </p>
<p>A,B,and E are just blatantly wrong & it’s common sense.
D is wrong because the comma splits the sentences, making sense for “Complimenting”.
Also the sentence structure doesn’t allow D to make sense.</p>
<p>A good example I can think of:</p>

<p>See how that’s clearer now? it is very tricky and can be hard to study, but just reading more and trying to understand the grammar structure of sentences will help.</p>

<p>During the Enlightenment in Europe, John Lock suggested that the right to property was an inherent quality in all humans. Long before Locke, however, the capitalists had been arguing the same. </p>

(B) Iceland, not, as one might suppose, in
(C) Iceland, however, one might suppose it was
(D) Iceland; not, as might be supposed,
(E) Iceland; although one might suppose it was filmed in</p>
<p>This is hard one. The answer is B. Can you explain the reason? </p>
<br>
<br>
<p>C> Incorrect use of However; common sense
D> A sentence after the semicolon, “;”, should be a complete sentence. Common sense.<br>
E> If you started with “although”, you have to finish it.</p>
<p>Do you ever say, “Although I don’t like pizza.” and not finish it? no. Look out for details.</p>
<p>Now comes the decision. Is it A or B? this can be tricky, but use your common sense and you will see through it.</p>
<p>B is right because it is shorter, more concise, and presents information without confusion. A is somewhat verbose, longer, and generates confusion by unnecessarily extending the sentence by the use of “but”. </p>
<p>A simplified example. </p>
<br>
<br>
<p>Number 1 makes sense in terms of grammar, but is an inferior choice because of the way it conveys the information. Is the author telling a story, or summarizing, in a sentence, certain information? you should be able to omit the (“not, as one might think”) part in your mind, because it is not central to the objective of the sentence. What matters is what comes after it.</p>
<p>A lot of these have to do with intuition and you can not study for that, neither can you build it over night. Reading a lot and brushing up on your logic&reasoning skills will make you a better reader, writer, grammarian, and above all, a good test-taker.</p>
<p>I wanna see a better explanation with question one. Above explanations for the second and third questions from ogok is not good because for question 2, he didn’t point out the usage of after which and for question 3 the answer is obviously not A because it’s not parallel since preposition in is not used before country.</p>
