I was confused between B and E. Chose B. I can say I am wrong about B coz it adds 'client' in the word instead of patent holder.But if you overlook this, I chose B coz it's active.
E uses passive voice though it's not wordy. So in situations like this which option would carry more weight-age.The one which is less wordy or the one which uses passive voice. I say this coz it's widely believed options voice are to be avoided as much as possible.

I say this coz it's widely believed options voice are to be avoided as much as possible. Be careful here. Active is only preferred over passive by the GMAT; you should only use active/passive if you've eliminated every other error. In this case, "damages of an economic nature" is far inferior to saying "economic damages". I also don't think it's necessary to say "the judge act immediately"; instead, the lawyers want "immediate action".

Sorry to reopen this thread.But I always have problem in understanding the usage of "the".I could not understand in myself where the usage of "the" is appropriate and where it is not.
I do a lot of questions wrong only on this confusion.
Can you please help me to identify the things related to "the" in GMAT specific terms.

If not, that's a pretty big topic, but I found some grammar links for you that may help you: http://www.englisch-hilfen.de/en/grammar/artikel.htmhttp://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/resource/540/01/

I have another question on this post.. In the given sentence, can't we say 'arguing that' is in subjunctive mood and we should use the structure verb+THAT+subject+Command subjunctive? In that case B would be the best answer choice.

no. "arguing" is not a 'bossy verb' as described in our material on the subjunctive..

Hi,
In the option E, immediate action should be taken(By whom??)
is it right to use it without subject.
I learned from Ron that I should not challenge correct answer. But I am not able to get it.
--Thanks

technically, "immediate action" is the subject. this one definitely is a passive sentence, but that doesn't make it automatically wrong. find grammar errors first, because active/passive considerations are secondary to outright errors..
