  1. Ban_GMAT says:

    (B)

  2. vishwa says:

    Its D…B is wrong becuase there is inconsistency between “seeking” and “to increase”….C is wrong becuase “to seek support of ” is wrong usage.

  3. Aspirant says:

    I think it should be D. In B, “Britain’s first national museums” changes te meaning of the sentence.

  4. Vijay says:

    D .. “seek to” is correct here.

  5. Vijay says:

    D — “one of the first to seek” is correct

  6. Vijay says:

    Sorry for the wrong updates above ….

    D — “to seek” serves the parallelism here with “to increase”

  7. saurabh008 says:

    b

  8. BSol says:

    D
    not even just because of the parallelism in conjunction with “to increase,” but the non-conjugated form is always used in this sence

  9. vishalsmantri says:

    d
    B is not correct bcoz support is sought from others, and we receive support of others. When we seek , it is ‘from’, when we receive it is ‘of’.

  10. Vani says:

    i think it is B…..

  11. KK says:

    Its “D”

    because

    1. Idiom “Suport From”
    2. II construction of “to Seek” … and “to Increase”

  12. shruti says:

    (D) among the first of Britain’s national museums to seek support from

  13. Abhinav says:

    Its D.

  14. Pi says:

    D.. ‘ first of Britain’s National Museum’… eliminates a,b
    ‘seek support from”… eliminates c,e

  15. Ankit says:

    D…to seek and to increase are parallel

  16. Kingfisher says:

    D
