C equally likely that they will exceed the proposed speed limit as
D as likely to exceed the proposed speed limit as
E as likely to exceed the proposed speed limit as they are

You're welcome, Rishi! All the best!

1. I do recall this question from another discussion; I believe the OA is not given as E, although E seems to be the best answer.

A and B are eliminated on the basis of subject-verb agreement.
C is non-parallel: 'allows for it' is not parallel to 'and that'
In D, 'allows that' is not the best idiomatic _expression_.
That leaves only E, which, although not perfect, is really the best choice.


2. In this one too, E is the best answer.

A, B, and C use the incorrect idiom ' equally likely...as'
D uses 'drivers will be as likely that they...', which is idiomatically incorrect.
That leaves E as the best choice.

yeah Naina. I agree with ytoiu that these are weired Qs, but they are actual GMAC questions (retired) & you were right, the first Q does not list E as OA. In fact it lists D.
The second Q lits the OA as yoiu say, but again it is quite weired.
Thanks so much Naina
