PREP2-Q54

by LINK228 Tue Apr 11, 2017 3:55 am

Greatly influenced by the Protestant missionary Samuel Kirkland, the Oneida was the only one of the five-nation Iroquois League who sided with the colonists during the American Revolution.
• A was the only one of the five-nation Iroquois League who sided
• B was alone of the five-nation Iroquois League when they sided
• C alone among the five nations of the Iroquois League sided
• D were the only ones out of the five nations of the Iroquois League in siding
• E only of the five-nation Iroquois League had sided
I understand the "the Oneida"=Plural noun
Eliminate A and B
As for E, "had sided" makes it illogical, influenced......should happen first.
How about C and D?How can I eliminate them?
Thanks for the answer

the easiest way to knock off D is just to compare it to C. note what i wrote here

also -- please do not start a new discussion thread for problems that are already on the forum. if there's an existing thread, ALWAYS post your question(s) on the existing thread.

for this problem there are two of them (both started a long time ago)

https://www.manhattanprep.com/gmat/foru ... t2452.html

https://www.manhattanprep.com/gmat/foru ... -t648.html

for any SC problem in the FREE GMAT Prep software, it's a VERY good bet that the problem is already on this forum. please search before you post. thanks.

(i don't use the in-forum search. i just use google, with a site-specific search. for this problem i'd just put the following search into google:
site:manhattanprep.com "the oneida"
it's important NOT to put a space between site: and the site restriction.)
