The expected rise in the price of oil could be a serious impact to industrialized nations and severely diminish the possibility to have an economy free of inflation.
(A) be a serious impact to industrialized nations and severely diminish the possibility to have
(B) seriously impact on industrialized nations and severely impede the possibility to have
(C) seriously impact on industrialized nations and severely impede the possibility of having
(D) have a serious impact on industrialized nations and severely impede the possibility to have
(E) have a serious impact on industrialized nations and severely diminish the possibility of having
D or E
E
in my openion, correct option is C
Its E…
Here “impact” is a noun and should be modified by an adjective “serious”.Also the “possibility of having” is the correct idiom rather than “possibility to”.That calls for E as the correct answer.
the sentance cannot be used as following..” seriously impact on…” it can be like this” serious impact on…” so answer B is wrong.
so now coming to D or E:
Its agreeable to one of the comments above that is” it can be used “possibility of having…” and not “possibility to have…….”
so ulimately the answer is “E”
I would go with “B” as it satisfies parallelism
I will go with choice ‘B’
I go for D.
I am going with (C)
“have” is redundant because “could impact” is concise
Plus, “have a serious impact” it is not parallel to “severely diminish”
I believe its E
takeGMAT,com Team, where is the answer??????????
e
wil go for E
Its E obviously!!
its is E and not D because the idiomatic expression ‘Possibility of X’ is correct rather than ‘Possibilty to X’.C is definitly not the answer as the clause ‘could seriously impact on ‘ is wrong
E is the answer.
