As per the forum rules, we need a verifiable source for the problem before we can deal with this question. If the question is not one of ours or one that is copyright-free, we will have to delete the question..

I will go with B for making proper comparison. What is OA and source?

[tim]

i second that: what is the source?

[joindk]

it is from one of the online verbal tests that I happen to stumble upon. It's called: ProProfs.com
I am not sure how credible the source is.


OA: D

[tim]

me neither. i'm not sure we're allowed to discuss that source on the forums either. you really should restrict your study to sources you know are legit anyway; otherwise you could end up getting incorrect information..
