Re: The Supreme Courts concern with legitimacy is not for the [#permalink]
I am with E.

The problem with A, B, C, D is that all of them use the pronoun 'it' to refer back to the Supreme court, but it is not valid. A pronoun cannot refer back to a possesive form. "Possessive poison'

Hi mailtheguru,
your answer and reasoning seem intresting.But don't you think that option E gives an incomplete sentence ?I mean that though the sentence makes sense with option E but it still limits the information available from the question.

I guess, i chose the one-eyed among blinds. The rest have the possessive poison, so we just cannot choose them. They are gramatically incorrect.

Re: The Supreme Courts concern with legitimacy is not for the [#permalink]
I am for E too.

responsible to ... is wrong.

and the sentence only mentioned "the Court's", not the "Court". It is a possessive form of the noun. You could never find the antecedent of "it" if you use it.

Re: The Supreme Courts concern with legitimacy is not for the [#permalink]
OA is B as many of you mentioned....

I was confused why not E...looks like the answer lies in the fact that this construction have to use 'not for.... but for' and so we have only one option.

Re: The Supreme Courts concern with legitimacy is not for the [#permalink]
the best out of 5 is "[b]B[/b]".

But a question :


what is " it " referring in the second part.

Mind it that we have " supreme court's "and not " supreme court " in the first part.

this is an example of BAD question in 1000 series.
Avoid it, since it does not teaches you.

good example of a bad question as 'it' in B probably refers to 'nation' rather than supremecourt
