I FEEL…. E….IS RIGHT
E
why all people are selecting E
I believe the ans is D
why we should have – having in the last of the sentence.
Answer cannot be D since the meaning is changing in D , it replaces the word “diminish” with “impede” and correct answer cannot change the meaning.
why not C?parallelism will be followed then…impede and diminish both means reduce..
Gmat team please explain the ans…
GMAT team..where is the ans?
E
E
C
impact is verb…..and seriously is an adverb (modifier)..
any one can comment……………
E.
Its E
E is the answer.
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
Its E obviously!!
wil go for E
e
I believe its E
takeGMAT,com Team, where is the answer??????????
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 go for D.
I will go with choice ‘B’
I would go with “B” as it satisfies parallelism
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”
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.
Its E…
in my openion, correct option is C
E
D or E
