Statisticians have constructed many complex mathematical models designed to predict voter behavior, but since even the best of the models failed to correctly predict the winner in many of last year’s parliamentary races, in the coming years it is going to be improved in order to accurately forecast the results of the next election. A - in the coming years it is going to be improved in order to more accurately forecast the results of the next election B - over the coming years they will improve the model by enabling it to more accurately forecast the results of the next election C - it is going to be improved in order to more accurately forecast the results of the election in the coming years D - they are going to be improved in order to more accurately forecast the results in the coming years of the next election E - most of the models are going to be improved in order to more accurately forecast the results of the election in the coming years

Definitely not a MGMAT question )) surprised this has lasted this long

Can you please help me between Option A and C. Option A states that "In the coming years it is going to be improved in order to predict the next election". If it takes multiple years to improve the forecast, how can the prediction be accurate by next election. Option C modifies results of the election in the coming years. Is this wrong because of election being singular ??. But How is A correct ?

"the best of the models," is the thing I failed to notice, but even if we take it into consideration, doesn't the clause make more sense if "most of the models are going to be improved" (as option E states) instead of just improving only the best model? In this case, option E still makes more sense in my opinion.

IMO... The quality of this question is really poor. I have not seem Official Questions rely on such poor frameworks to decide between answer choices.
