a wide range of vs widely ranging

[chitrangada.maitra]

Can someone please explain the correct usage of

'a wide range of' and 'widely ranging'

Thanks,

hi -- two things

1) this is the wrong folder for this question (unless the question is actually from the gmatprep software); please re-post this question in the GENERAL VERBAL folder.

2) when you re-post the question, please post the problem with which it is associated -- i.e., the problem that contains these expressions. in accordance with the forum rules, please post the question in its entirety, with all five answer choices, unless the problem is from OG. if the problem is from OG, just state which edition of OG and which problem number.

thanks!
