about C- I think it's worng because you have "since" and than "so"- Its wrong.
since they voted to the zoo, so the class went to the zoo

D changes the sentence and makes no sense. more than 2/3 - the sentence didnt say more....and more than 2/3 and another 1/3 is over 1...cant be
I answered A and was wrong,
I want to know the difference between another and other, maybe A should have said "the other"
but how another fixes it


after rereading I think the answer is not about another or other but about of the student in E and the students in A...but lets wait for the experts

Arvindsharmanitw, while E has a slight flaw, it's the best we have. A cannot possibly be the answer because it is missing some necessary words. We need to say "Two thirds of the students" and "the other one third."

Hello expert,

why option 'b' is not correct?

According to me, while here represents whereas, so two third of the students voted to visit the zoo whereas another one third voted..

Is my understanding wrong?

Answer A doesn't determine the meaning of the sentence, so "changing" the meaning isn't a problem, as long as the meaning makes sense and seems to fit the author's intent. In this case, it doesn't really, as I've discussed above. E is the best option, but this question is flawed and would not make it on the GMAT.
