I would go with D

A B C seem to have pronoun errors..

D seems the most logical one.

what's the OA?

I had somebody request an explanation of "accommodate for" and "accommodate to"

Here, we are using "accommodation" to mean "adapt" or "compromise" and thus we need "accommodate to."

You'd use "for" if you were using "accommodations" to mean "living arrangements":

"Do you have any available accommodations for me and my family?"

Bumping an old thread , nice question

(A) believing it a seeming permanent accommodation rather than a temporary expedient for what many observers thought was
Seeming( adjective) incorrectly modifies the noun accommodation, whereas it actually should modify the adjective permanent. To do so, seeming should be changed to adverb seemingly..

(B) believing it a seeming permanent accommodation instead of a temporary expedient for what many observers thought was
Same as A,

(C) believing that it was not a temporary expedient but a seeming permanent accommodation to what many observers thought of as a
same as A, moreover, thought of as a shows redundancy, thought was is concise.

(D) not as a temporary expedient but as a seemingly permanent accommodation to what many observers thought was CORRECT

(E) not as a temporary expedient but believing it a seemingly permanent accommodation for what many observers thought
parallelism error, the highlighted parts are not parallel

Hi guys

I solved this question and got the answer wrong. I couldn't understand the meaning of this question and in my opinion the correct answer choice D was missing the word believing so I rejected it.

I would be really thankful if you guys could provide an analysis of this question.

Thank you

Hello @e-gmat@e-gmat

Could you guys please provide an analysis of this question. It's meaning analysis because I'm unable to grasp its meaning here.

Like what does "believing it a seeming permanent accommodation" and "for what many observers thought" mean in the context of the sentence. From what I gathered in a wrong manner was that the observers thought the six-hour work day was a permanent accomaodation rather than it being a temporary expedient.

And can these two expressions: "rather than" and "instead of" be used interchangably?

I would be really thankful if you guys could discuss this question here and provide your valuable insights.

Thank you

Hello experts GMATNinja GMATNinja

Could you guys please provide an analysis of this question. It's meaning analysis because I'm unable to grasp its meaning here.

What I understood: "In 1993, some industries put into effect a 6 hr workday, many people who observed this happening believed that this is a permanent thing and not something temporary and thought that an economy was made overprotective by advances in technology."

I rejected answer choice D because it was missing the word 'believing' from the original sentence. I thought that it must have held some significance in the original sentence as in the observers believed something, so it should not be missed from the correct choice.

Could you please help me understand what does "believing it a seeming permanent accommodation" and "for what many observers thought" or "to what many observers thought" (in choice D) mean in the context of the sentence. From what I gathered in a wrong manner was that the observers thought the six-hour work day was a permanent accomaodation rather than it being a temporary expedient.

And can these two expressions: "rather than" and "instead of" be used interchangably?
