Idiomatic Expressions | GMAT Prep questions
Here’s another question a student asked. Worth a look to understand how the GMAT guys test you on idiomatic expressions.
After July, anyone disposing of or servicing refrigerators must capture the chlorofluorocarbons in the refrigerant chemicals.
(A) anyone disposing of or servicing
(B) those who dispose or service
(C) anyone disposing of or who services
(D) the disposal or repair of
(E) someone who disposes or repairsHere the keyword is “OR”
On the left: “anyone disposing of…refrigerators”
On the right: “anyone…servicing refrigerators”This is fine. “Dispose” is one of those idiomatic words that require the “of” afterwards. You dispose OF something. You don’t just dispose something.
After July, anyone disposing of or servicing refrigerators must capture the chlorofluorocarbons in the refrigerant chemicals.
(A) anyone disposing of or servicing [this is ok, idiomatically "disposing of" is required---both are -ING verbs]
(B) those who dispose or service [you need the OF after dispose]
(C) anyone disposing of or who services [not consistent....could be "anyone who disposes of or who services"--or make them both -ING verbs--and that would become (A)]
(D) the disposal or repair of [is it the person who captures the chlorofluorocarbons or the repair that does it? it must be the person! so this wording is not correct]
(E) someone who disposes or repairs [you need "disposes OF"]One response to “Idiomatic Expressions | GMAT Prep questions”
