According to GMAT, the right answer in sentence will be, Grammatically Correct, Concise in its presentation, Clear in the meaning of the sentence. Hence the 3C’s of correct answers.
So if you are ever tied between two possible right answers look for More Correctness, More Concision and More Clarity.
Concision examples:
Good
The division of work at the factory is a point difference between John and Tom.
Better
John and Tom differ on the work division at the factory.
Good
In the past one year alone price of Gas has increased by 40% upward
Better
Last year alone gas prices increased 40%.
Clarity could be a good yard stick to eliminate wrong answers. If the answer choices alters the original meaning of the sentence even slightly they are wrong.
Example:
All the roses are red.
Vs.
Roses are all red
Even though each of them is grammatically correct the meaning is totally different. Answer choices should not be distorting the original idea of the sentence.
John will come
Vs.
John may come
Grammatical correctness will be discussed in more detail.
