(A) in the way electromagnetic waves do, hopefully will enable
(B) in the way electromagnetic waves do, will, it is hoped, enable
(C) like electromagnetic waves, hopefully will enable

Pls give explanation. We are comparing "gravity waves" with "electromagnet waves" like is appropriate. between C and D C looks good. --> the use of gravity waves,... hopefully will enable astronomers to study.

Pls give explanation. C ans A and B contain "in the way" which is awkward ans E uses "such as" which is used when examples are provided. not to compare things ans C and D use "like" which is correct but ans D gets wordy with "would enable" and changes the verb tense

Pls give explanation. HOPEFULLY is always wrong in GMAT reject A,C,D we are left with B and E ,here E is wrong such as EM wavs do is wrong .such as idiom is followed by examples hence do will be hanging the without any referrent. B is the best choice among the lot IMO B OA pls !!

Thats right! Hopefully is almost never correct as per GMAT standards. The answer option B looks the best, as option E has a wrong such as usage.

Why hopefully is wrong in GMAT??? any reason.. hopefully is adverb modifies enable... looks perfect. On second look, C and D are out because improper comparision. which do not interact wiht matter like EM waves = G waves .. interact wiht matter like EM waves. (comparing "G waves interact" with "EM waves") --> C and D are out Between A and B. I am not conviced why hopefully is wrong..

(A) in the way electromagnetic waves do, hopefully will enable
(B) in the way electromagnetic waves do, will, it is hoped, enable
(C) like electromagnetic waves, hopefully will enable
(D) like electromagnetic waves, would enable, hopefully
(E) such as electromagnetic waves do, will, it is hoped, enable
"like" use to modify noun, not clause
"such as" use to give examples
So (A)

The use of gravity waves, which do not interact with matter in the way electromagnetic waves do, hopefully will enable astronomers to study the actual formation of black holes and neutron stars.
(A) in the way electromagnetic waves do, hopefully will enable
'hopefully' is acting like a sentence adverb..modifying entire sentence...But, adverbs should modify only verbs..use of hopefully is not correct here.
(B) in the way electromagnetic waves do, will, it is hoped, enable
hold it
(C) like electromagnetic waves, hopefully will enable
comparing an action with a subject
(D) like electromagnetic waves, would enable, hopefully
comparing an action with a subject
(E) such as electromagnetic waves do, will, it is hoped, enable
such as is used to illustrate a set of related items. its usage is not correct.
Thanks spriya and everybody...
OA is B

Why hopefully is wrong in GMAT??? any reason..
hopefully is adverb modifies enable... looks perfect.
On second look, C and D are out because improper comparision.
which do not interact wiht matter like EM waves
= G waves .. interact wiht matter like EM waves.
(comparing "G waves interact" with "EM waves") --> C and D are out
Between A and B.

Re: The use of gravity waves, which do not interact with matter [#permalink]

Can anyone explain the usage of HOPEFULLY. also please check my reasoning behind the answer choices
8. The use of gravity waves, which do not interact with matter in the way electromagnetic waves do, hopefully will enable astronomers to study the actual formation of black holes and neutron stars.
A) in the way electromagnetic waves do, hopefully will enable – Hopefully is wrong on GMAT
B) in the way electromagnetic waves do, will, it is hoped, enable - Use IT IS HOPED instead of HOPEFULLY (Correct)
C) like electromagnetic waves, hopefully will enable – If we are using LIKE, the comparison should be some be between “The use of gravity waves” and “The use of electromagnetic waves”. Here like is comparing between “The Use of gravity waves” with “electromagnetic waves”
D) like electromagnetic waves, would enable, hopefully – Same as C and A
E) such as electromagnetic waves do, will, it is hoped, enable – such as should be used to give examples. If in this case, we are supposed to introduce “electromagnetic waves” then “do” should not be there. The usage of Hopefully changes the meaning.
Though I drilled down to right ans choice, I still did not understand the usage of “hopefully”? Hopefully is an adverb (an adverb modifies verb, another adverb, adjective, phrases, clauses). Here hopefully modifies “will enable astronomers to study the actual formation of black holes and neutron stars”.
