Based on the meaning of the sentence, the doctors are trying to disentagle the dark side or negative side of lying or the possible negative effects of this one. The point at end is not to evaluate social interactions but how lying affects the whole story:)

Can't social interactions become destructive? or can't they signal something? Moreover if u notice meaning carefully Psychiatrists have already recognized some thing about lying.. and now are intersted in evaluating the extent/details of those results.

It's not lying or psychiatrist we are referring to, but social interactions. Thats what I thought and got it wrong. Seriously how can "lying" be destructive? ..and that is the reason why I posted the question here.

@carcass. Give me few hours. GMATPREP is on a different system. Coming to the question, what I feel is that "they" in A may refer to doctors as well as interactions, in such a case both are sounding fine. Whereas E modifies "lying" only. what say?

Nothing ........I read the question here at work, at my own risk but who cares :D.........10000 times. First of all my intuition leads to lying (meaning) Secondly, they is a bit ambiguous referring to doctors or interactions. Other things I do not see........someone calls Sir Ron Purewal :D I agree with you Marcab: same conclusion I had

Hi Vips0000, Do you mean that 'social interactions' are destructive and they can signal certain mental problems?? Even though I am not Vips, I will reply because your question was very tempting. Why can't the social interactions be destructive, in fact they can be. Moreover, if they are not good with others then they WILL signal certain mental problems.

I agree that a certain set of social interactions have the capacity to be destructive.. But when you have something like 'lying' in the sentence which talks about the ill-effects of an entity, you would associate those ill-effects with 'lying', wouldn't you? When i read this question, it was obvious to me that lying was the culprit.. so i was able to select the right answer..

for me, we are going out of scope and infer too much. Waiting the OE provide by marcab But I 'm quite sure that it will not solve definitely the question; simply because the OE for PS DS and SC are unuseful in the most cases. Only CR explanations are good enough

Here is the OE: A) The uses of the plural noun they are not in the agreement with the singular antecedent lying.E) The singular pronoun itagrees with the singular antecedent lying, and the objects of the verb determineare in parallel form, both introduced by interrogative pronoun

Is typical GMAC explanation. that say, whithout grammar rule if I read the question suddenly they after doctor is ackward. Immediately I think that something goes wrong and this should make me suspicious

But how can lying be destructive? I mean "social interaction are destructive"--this is digestable but "lying is destructive"---this is not? I feel that apart from ambiguity, there is no such issue with A.

But the phrase states literally that lying facilitates somthing is different to say lying is destructive This is why also E is correct: doctors are evaluating when it (lying) becomes destructive. this is the real point and makes sense. regarding A, this is another point at issue: new GMAC has enormously increasing the difficulty just for all this thread that we are eviscerating and you must soleve in 1.30 seconds under pressure. For this reason this test is beautiful and scary at the same time
