I feel the ans is C..I may be wrong. In B the number of sounds redundant????
B
I am confused between B and D. But I see a lot of people answering ‘B’.
Can anyone please explain why not D.
B
Reasoning:
“Weston Insurance has hired new employees,” should be followed by something that talks about the number of employees getting doubled. Both B and D rightly convey that the number has doubled rather than the staff. Between B and D, B is the right bet because it rightly uses, “members in” compared to “members of”
B.
yes B

d…plz tell the right ans??
b
B … uses ” the number of ” as the people can be counted and also the correct use of “in the claims dept”.
Still confused ??? Just flip the sentence
can anyone tell me why it is B?
I think, since they work from home they are not in the department but of the department
B
eugenio: Department contains members and does not belong to members. thats why “number of members in the department”
To me it is a tough choice between B and D. Mod. Please tell the correct answer. I feel it is D.
answer is B
B
itz B
“which” refers to the immediate preceding noun i.e. new employees. So eliminate A, C and E.
Between the choices B and D, B uses the correct idiom “members in X” and hence is the best choice.
