SC - 2

by crimsontides007 Mon Nov 30, 2009 2:21 pm

This one is driving me nuts!!!

Discrimination in wages paid in occupations that are predominantly male over the predominantly female have given rise to substantial differentials between the wage of housepainters and secretaries and between the wages of parking-lot attendants and library assistants.

A. paid in occupations that are predominantly male over the predominantly female have

B. paid in occupations that are predominantly make over those that are predominantly female have

C. that favors predominantly male occupations over the predominantly female have

D. that favors predominantly male occupations over those that are predominantly female has

E. paid in predominantly male occupations over the predominantly female has


I think the answer has to be between D and E. Not sure though. Please help.

SC is abt comparing apples to apples, First it shuld be "has" becuase singular Discrimation is used,
2. its comparing Male Occ to female in E which is wrong
3. in D the Male Occ is compared to Female Occ

Problems in this folder should be from either the MGMAT Strategy Guides or from the online Question Bank. Otherwise it should be reposted in another (more appropriate) folder.

If it is from our materials, please cite the Strategy Guide and edition, chapter, and page number. Thanks.
