Analyze - The golden crab of the Gulf of Mexico

by hrbiswal Mon Feb 24, 2014 5:06 am

The commerce department announced that the economy grew during the second quater at a 7.5 percent annual rate, while the inflation eased when it might have been expected for it to rise.

A) it might have been expected for it to rise
B) it might have been expected to rise
C) it might have been expected that it should rise
D) its rise might have been expected
E) there might have been an expectation it would rise

Following Stacey Koprince's advice(More about Stacey's advice http://www.manhattangmat.com/blog/index ... e-problem/ ) , I tried to analyze the above mentioned problem. However I was not able to answer following questions.

1> What type of problem is it ? (example: S-V agreement, Parallelism, Comparison etc.)

2> What is the most efficient approach to solve it ?

3> How to recognize similar problems in future ?

Kindly help me to decode this problem.

The title of this thread says something about "the golden crab of the Gulf of Mexico", but then the problem is ... totally different.

Please do the following:

* Check that you're posting what you want to post.

* Please search the forum for the problem in question. If a problem is from GMAT Prep, it's virtually certain to be posted here already.
If you locate a thread about the problem, please post on it. Thanks.

* Finally, note that things like SV agreement, parallelism, etc. are not "problem types".
Those are elements that may appear in a sentence.
Almost all SC problems test multiple elements simultaneously, so it's not possible to classify the entire problem according to just one of them.
