B?

This one is difficult. So I imagined that Jim Maclasawski of MSNBC reporting a news on oil crisis and inflation. This is how he would have reported. :lol: :lol: :lol:

agree with B. Correct verb tense "have" and also "other" to denote that the "increases" are not compared with themselves.

OA is B indeed

Paul,
Could you please elaborate on the use of "other"?
I am confused why we need "other" (i.e. B vs C)

Thanks

If you don't have "other", then you are comparing the increases to everything else and itself

Ex: China has a population that is larger than that of any other country
In the above, "other" means that China's population is compared to that of all countries excluding its own. This is a concept often tested on the GMAT.
