HongHu · Answer

I think I'll choose (E). :-D

(Kidding) (A) is definitely out. It reads like the customers are issueing replacement cards. "they" in both (C) and (D) seems to be wrong. To choose the lessor evil I'd pick (C). Since "the customer" in (D) seems to refer to a certain specific customer.

bsarora · Answer

If you go for C ...shouldn't it be "he/she" instead of " they"

vprabhala · Answer

c and D are wrong! can you please post the other choices..

praveen_rao7 · Answer

c) No customer will be responsible for transactions made with lost or stolen credit cards after they are issued replacement cards. 
d) The customer will not be responsible for transactions made with lost or stolen credit cards after they are issued replacement cards.

harshi · Answer

A looks better.

 

In C & D - 'they' doesn't have the referent

ywilfred · Answer

C and D do not have a clear referent for 'they'.

But A is not without fault too. A makes it sound like the customer are issuign replacement cards, instead of the banks.

Karun, can you post the entire question and let us see what other choices there are? :-D

kwasi7 · Answer

I was just thinking the same thing :?:

thearch · Answer

Assuming that these are the best possible choices, I pick C because in D we have subj-verb agreement problem
d) The customer will not be responsible for transactions made with lost or stolen credit cards after  they are  issued replacement cards.
Should be: he (the customer) is issued...

DLMD · Answer

i think D is alright, since we always say " your cards  are issued".

thearch · Answer

so, according to you, is this sentence correct?
I just substituted "they" with "your cards"

your cards are issued replacement cards

karun_aggarwal · Answer

guess i do'nt have an OA for this,,,,got this question from a frnd......
 he said tht these were the best options.......

If you find my post helpful don`t forget to give kudos.

neha24 · Answer

it sud be C  
 
in A its appearing that customers themselves are issuing the replacement cards,a situation very unlikely !!
look at here A says : The customer will not be responsible for transactions made with lost or stolen credit cards  after issuing replacement cards .

Archit143 · Answer

Hi Mun
After introduces a dependent clause...there is no verb present in there in the dependent clause starting with AFTER

Consider kudos if my post helps!!!!!!!!

kloklo · Answer

The customers cannot issue replacement card for themselves so the answer A is illogical. The OA is C
