A,D Out as we don't use "Times" and "more than (comparison signals) " simultaneously .
Moreover, B is awkward as colored.
E changes the tense from simple to progressive .
Well that will help !!!
Hai, Wanted to clarify the same. Can we eliminate A and D for the reasons stated here? "Times" and "more than" both are used.
I wanted to clarify bcz i made a 2/3 split using this approach. Thanks in advance.
Surely, the split works .However, I won't recommend the strategy of splits because sometimes the right answer as per individual's choice isn't the correct answer.
Moreover, I would like to recommend the
E-gmat strategy of understanding the meaning first.However, I am not the endorser of the same.
Rgds,
