The strength of a carbon-chlorine bond is stronger than that of a carbon-bromine bond, which is in turn greater than a carbon-iodine bond.
A) which is in turn greater than
B) which is in turn stronger than
C) that is in turn greater than
D) that is in turn stronger than
E) in turn stronger than
a
a.
i missed it in nreading….ans is
which is in turn stronger than
first of all the options with greater cant be the answer so A is out.
Then if we get down to the sentence, we find that there is a scope change in the sentence..the author is shifting from the streenth of the bonds(in first part of sentence) to the bonds themselves( in second part)
How will we tackle this now..can we have the official answer..am confused in B and D.
With Abhinav’s statement, the answer is B. Since there is a comma in the main phase, “which” is to be used instead of “that”.
D
b
i go with B, here we r discussing abt 3 bonds and the sentence after comma is the comparison between the last two bonds strength.
The answer is B.
Out of the two choices B and D ( A,C,E are eliminated) WHICH is to be used as there is a comma after bond. This is because all information after a comma is Non Essential in nature.
B
d
that is in turn stronger than
B
B
Can we use “which” for strength. I think that is better option.
B.
I think it is “E”
B
its B
B
Ans is B.
B
B is the answer.
b
I’m in favour of B
I wd go with Option A
and the answer is ‘A’
it’s a bullshit forum.. no answer from the team
IMO B
I go with B.
B
D
E
typo..d
When does the Take the Gmat team post the answer..
option B,
comma indicates that ‘which’ should be used.
usage of ‘greater’ changes the meaning of sentence.
So,’stronger’ is correct usage.
Don’t post question if you can’t provide answers….. Time waste from takeGMAT
B “which” takes a comma before it and “that” doesnot.
absolutely r8, comma is the catch. ans. shld b B
