Re: 13. Verbal Diagnostic Test No : 6 – SC Q No: 6 [#permalink]
gmatter0913 : The word "only" was present in the original sentence (i.e question), so one should try not to omit any of the original words.
Also you may have noticed a phrase "choice few behavioral scientists" that demands the presence of word "only"

Hope its clear..

What is 'choice few behavioural scientists'?I've come across this kind of usage for the first time.
Shouldn't it be 'chosen few' as in the original sentence?

D is a comma splice (a run-on). There is no proper conjunction between the two verbs. We must put an 'and' between 'scientists' and occurs.

Hi daagh ,

I chose C as 'occurs' and 'are' are correct in terms of agreement to the subject, but I was completely thrown off by 'explainable only by a choice few behavioral scientists'. Can you please tell me what this term means?
