Need clarity on option B and D.

Both seem same to me.

There're and there are. what's the difference?

is the former one counted as a possessive noun?

Hello Guys itoyj

Read this post may your doubt get cleared.

Official Explanation

The answer is (B).

Choice (A) is incorrect because the plural noun (ways) requires the plural form of the verb (to be).

Choice (B) correctly changes There’s to There’re because the plural noun (ways) requires the plural form of the verb.

Choice (C) is incorrect because it changes the wording and because the singular verb (is) does not agree with the plural noun (ways).

Choice (D) delivers a pristine sentence but sidesteps correcting the problem: the contraction must be there’re, the plural form, to agree with the plural noun ways.

Choice (E) adds the word “too,” which changes the meaning of the sentence.

Hope it helps

I don't think in GMAT There're and There are could be differentiated.

Never heard of this in any book. Does anyone have any reference from some book or material to justify this?

I too think the same but i think conciseness is the key here.

Otherwise there is no difference.

generis I doubt this is a good quality question. I would be darned if GMAT would test the difference between "there're" and "there are". Also, as far as I know formal English prefers full versions of words, so "there are" makes more sense here.
