OA is indeed A ...I went with B as did a couple of other people. This was 38/39 question in GMATPREP where in my verbal score was 47 (not indicative tons of repeats :-D )

selene, yogi_d22 could one of you explain your reasoning ?

Will go with A.

IMO "having been implicated" doesnot make sense. Hence I reject all having option outright.

Fell for the B trap too. It is incorrect because of the ending "having been implicated for~"

"that have a comparable size" construction is awkward. That leaves us with 'A', 'B' and 'C'.

Rejected 'B' because "having been" is a wrong construction
Rejected 'C' we need "far less carbon dioxide gas" instead of "far fewer carbon dioxide gas"

Hope that helps!!!

>> First of all, "carbon dioxide" is uncountable and " gases" is countable. Because of wrong comparison, we should eliminate C, D and E.

>> After "as well as" you should use Ving. It is impossible to use the bare form of the verb !!!

>> Also, here we need the whole relative clause, so we cannot use "having been ..." at the end of the sentence.


Hope this is helpful ..

"Fewer Carbon dioxide" in C and E eliminates these two choices right away, "having" eliminates B.

Now between A and D I thought "burn" and "emitting" are not parallel in A and hence D the right choice.. although "that have a comparable size" is awkward. :( Still don't get it why is A correct?

Note for self: Review
