why are options C and D eliminated ?
Hey Nirvan,
B: “Young people with” – We need young people who possess certain characteristics to establish new businesses. This sentence doesn’t convey the right meaning. Hence this option is incorrect
C: “Young people having” – Having is the present participle form of have. We do not use having to express possession. For example, you would say “I have good memory” and not “I am having a good memory”. Hence this option is incorrect
D and E: “Who are those” and “who are the ones” – redundant. Hence these options are incorrect
Hope this helps 🙂
