  4. james says:

    Here subject is Think and Feel.. So the verb should be “are”; in which case the answer should be B

  5. Avinash says:

    B, its think and feel so should be ‘are’

  6. srikar says:

    C definitely –the verb is corresponds to way not to think and feel

  7. Kaushik says:

    Answer is C . As subject of the clause introduced by that is “the way” so as per subject verb agreement the verb should be “is”.

  10. vkrmhj says:

    Reason-
    as much by their ….as by their….is the correct usage..If you are still unsatisfied then..the way is determined and not are determined..
    Hence c for sure..

  11. Abhimanyu says:

    C Vs D

    D is incorrect because ‘one’s’ is wrongly used. It can’t be used like a pronoun for just any antecedent. It can only be used to refer back to ‘one’ itself.
    E.g:
    One should always have sex with one’s own wife. (correct)
    A person should always fuck one’s own wife. (incorrect)
    A person should always fuck his own wife. (correct)

  12. A Chakraverty says:

    Ans C

  13. NIKESH says:

    IMO c

  14. rajat says:

    its ‘C’ for sure cz it cant b ‘are’ or ‘have been’ n to correct d sentence , we hv to have 1 more ‘as’ in it..so

  15. sunitha says:
