MGMAT Explanation: well, d has two problems, at least: - 'projects X to do Y' is unidiomatic. (you can just say 'projects NOUN', as is done in choice e, or you can say something like 'projects that X will do Y'). - an average is a single data point, so there's no such thing as 'averag[ing] from 1.8 to 6.3'. on the other hand, it's quite possible for a single data point to fall between two given values.

(A) project an average global warming that will be between 1.8 and
(B) project an average global warming to be from 1.8 to
(C) project global warming that will average between 1.8 and
(D) projects global warming to average from 1.8 to
(E) projects an average global warming of between 1.8 and
please explain .. Group is collective noun so projects... between d and E i will go with E though "of" is awkward because in D pronoun "from" is wrong....it should be between... This particular problem is of Subject Verb Relationship. Here the "Internation Group" is singular so its verb (Projects) should also be singular. It eliminate choices A, B, C. In 'D', "Warming to" is not idiomatic correct.

Subject verb agreement satisfies D & E. Following came to my mind while attempting this.
An average is a point in 'between x & y' while an increase in average would have been 'from x to y'.
So answer is E.

I got it correct! E...projects is singular and global warming is between X & Y ...not from X to Y...
