please explain usage of ":" here how to tackle such question


In fact, there are many articles about the function of colon in GMAT. My opinions, read those articles then you could learn more :-)

You could learn from RonPurewal here:

Took 3 Mins

D- seems to have one more issue -- it has ambiguous pronoun 'It' & hence sufficient to eliminate this option in comparison of 'A'

E. Arts management programs and other similar courses are often seen as a requirement to be eligible for jobs such as museum curating, but a degree in management studies is by no means a necessary qualification for the understanding of art: in fact, they ought to be considered optional.
"they" at the end of this sentence is ambiguous.


THEY here clearly refers to the art management programs and other similar courses.. why is it ambiguous?
They cannot refer to 'A degree in management studies'.

Also, how does one choose which is better for contrast... while or though.
I felt though makes the contrast clearer...

egmat Could you please help me with the solution? Thanks in advance!

Re: While arts management programs and other similar courses are often [#permalink]
The confusion is between option A and E.
The best way to differentiate is the use of ":". A colon is used to connect two clauses when second is an example of the first one.
hence A is a better choice.
However Use of "they" is not at all ambiguous here if you consider a meaning based approach.

Can someone explain how "in fact..." used after while can express contrast?
