Can't believe this thread hasn't got the attention it deserves!

Excellent resource, Carcass and Souvik.
I'm sure other people who've exhausted most other SC question banks would find this compilation useful as well.

Thanks you pointed out.

Im wondering why such question was among the ones in gmat question bank.

Personally speaking, though, I disagree with Ron on the fact that the ing form after comma DO NOT desbribe what comes before i.e. sporadically erupting

Thanks

Re: Meaning/Clarity SC Question Bank by Carcass_Souvik [#permalink]
Hi souvik,
I have a query about question # 27 in the said file...
"The Principal, having increased..............students to a teacher"
The correct answer as per the OA is D:
Although the principal has increased the number of teachers in the school, he is still being accused of maintaining a poor ratio of students to a teacher"
Isnt the "still" in this answer choice redundant? since the sentence starts off with "although".. :? :? :?
Please clarify.
regards
soumya

Hello..In my opinion,its not redundant..read this eg.

Although tom repaired his car,it still pertains the same issue.

hope it helps :)

Hi Soumya,
Still can be used in two ways

1. Contrast use: I am new at work, still I am bombarded with assignments. Here still is used to set contrast, similar to although. Although and still (used for contrast), cannot be used together

2. Temporal (to use time: He is still coming to school. This is used to denote time. This can be used with although.

In your sentence the still is used to denote the time AFTER he has increased the number of teachers.

Hope this makes sense.
