73. Alaska regularly deposits some of its profits from the sale of oil into a special fund, with the intention to sustain the state’s economy after the exhaustion of its oil reserves.
(A) fund, with the intention to sustain the state’s economy after the exhaustion of its oil reserves
(B) fund, the intention of which is to sustain the state’s economy after they have exhausted their oil reserves
(C) fund intended to sustain the state’s economy after oil reserves are exhausted
(D) fund intended to sustain the state’s economy after exhausting its oil reserves
(E) fund that they intend to sustain the state’s economy after oil reserves are exhausted
D
A i feel there is nothing wrong……..some body please clarify
D
not A- with the intention to sustain is not correct- with the intention of sustaining, or intended to sustain are correct.
Option A is the correction answer.
Pete, the option you suggested is not amongst the given answer choices
Option B is wordy
Option C suggests “fund intended” but actually “Alaska intended”
Option D same as C
Option E Pronoun error “they” doesnt clearly say who
Take the Gmat team plz respond.
The answer is A.
A is the answer.
D cannot be the answer. Bcoz, by the sense of the sentence , it is the intention of Alaska ; as per D it is the intention of the fund.
it is D
but i am still little confuse in between ”after oil reserves are exhausted” and ”after exhausting its oil reserves” …….thats what the options C and D look similar
pls explain this…….takegmat.
hi,
the correct anwer is A
i think the answer is D
A – uses passive ‘exhaustion of its oil reserves’
C – oil reserves are exhausted (whose oil reserves…leaves ambiguity)
D addresses both problems, no passive and makes it clear that ‘its’ oil reserves.
I would go with “D”. As far as I think the word “with” does not take a comma before it. With comma it does not make any sense.
