SC Doubt

by surbhi.87 Thu Oct 24, 2013 10:04 am

Hi Guys,

Please help with this question:

Cartographers have long struggled with the problem of having the spherical Earth to draw on a flat sheet of paper.

(A) having the spherical Earth to draw on a flat sheet of paper
(B) having a flat sheet of paper on which to draw the spherical Earth
(C) how can one draw the spherical Earth on a flat sheet of paper
(D) how they could use a flat sheet of paper to draw the spherical Earth
(E) how to draw the spherical Earth on a flat sheet of paper

In my opinion, "the problem of" should not be followed by "how to" . For ex: "I have long struggled with the problem of ..
1)How to solve questions
2)Solving questions
3) Having to solve questions " .

Definitely not "How to solve questions" .
Thoughts?

Source: Old gmat paper test.

Thanks,

Old paper tests are a banned source on here, so we're going to lock this thread. (Please read the forum rules.)

If "your opinion" disagrees with GMAC, then GMAC is right and you are wrong. Period.
Don't fight the official answers.
