729). (OG 11th Ques no - 103) - OA - D
A- incorrect - the subject should be the rocket, not its development; verb can is needed after space shuttle to create a correct comparison; that should be replaced by which and the clause should be set off with comma
B, C - incorrect - the subject should be the rocket, not its development; verb can is needed after space shuttle to create a correct comparison
E - incorrect - verb can is needed after space shuttle to create a correct comparison; to cost less is confusing because it seems parallel to deliver

OE: The best answer here must qualify the statement made in the main clause. The diet... was largely vegetarian: it cannot be treated as part of the list of vegetarian foods. In other words, the best answer must logically and

A - incorrect - fails this test: The diet. . . was largely vegetarian, and meat rarely
B - incorrect - the wording is imprecise and ambiguous--for example, it could mean that meat was scarce, or that it was not well done or medium

D - incorrect - fails also, because it lacks a function word such as with to link it to the main clause
