Information technology is in the subject position of the "first" clause and unambiguously refer to "constellation"
Jim is working harder than Jack, as he wants the scholarship. ----> He (in subject position of first clause) is not cryptic. It refers to Jim not Jack.

* among different cultures, called

I feel that OA- E is changing the meaning a little. original " ... has been known past many names... -The Drinking Gourd- in parts of Africa". In that location is no indication that it is not known by the name now in those parts of Africa.
And then I chose, C. Even if wordy, information technology maintains the pregnant of "has been"... thoughts?
to me, information technology seems as though, in C, "being called" could be referring to unlike cultures not the constellation

The constellation that includes the North Star has been known past many names amid different cultures, called "The Behave" in ancient Hellenic republic, "The Drinking Gourd" in parts of Africa, and "Star Girl and Her 7 Heaven Brothers" among the Cheyenne people of North America
among dissimilar cultures, called
among different cultures; it was called
in unlike cultures, beingness called
in different cultures; including the championship
in different cultures; information technology was called
Spoiler:
Uncertainty
In the question, "information technology" in choice E is ambigious whether it refers to Constellation or North Star, how to decide in such circumstances.

So u mean to say if in a judgement, "if" correctly refers to the subject area of a sentence, then its fine, so if in the below sentence it was
In the 1980's the rate of increment of the minority population of the US was virtually as fast as it was in the 1970's
Based on this 1 tin can empathize that Information technology refers to rate of increase, but even minority population is also a noun, still it is non the primary subject field hence Information technology does not refer to minority population.
If a pronoun such as Information technology in the subordinate clause, has 2 antecendents i.e. two nouns such equally
Fishing is a sport and knitting is an art, hence john loves it. here information technology is ambigious equally to whether it refers to Angling or Knitting.
Am i correct in understanding this concept, pls explain.
In the 1980'due south the charge per unit of increase of the minority population of the United States was well-nigh twice as fast as the 1970's.
(A) twice every bit fast as
(B) twice as fast as information technology was in
(C) twice what it was in
(D) 2 times faster than that of
(E) two times greater than

Bluerobbin I see. I need kudos for explaining this 1 ! 
Jim is working harder than Jack, as he wants the scholarship. ----> He (in subject position of starting time clause) is non ambiguous. It refers to Jim not Jack.
I tin interruption the to a higher place sentence into 2 clause
Jim is working harder than Jack.
He wants the scholarship.
At present this will hint that this sentence is different. Do you take more than one clauses??
In the 1980's the rate of increase of the minority population of the US was virtually every bit fast every bit it was in the 1970's >>>> "it" is correct as it is comparing the "charge per unit of increase"
2 mistakes in this sentence -
i. "every bit fast as" is redundant since y'all are using "increase" - rate of increase
2. Utilize DOUBLE,TRIPLE as verbs and TWICE ,THRICE for comparisons
Line-fishing is a sport and knitting is an fine art, hence john loves information technology. here it is ambigious as to whether it refers to Fishing or Knitting. >> Right on ! "information technology" is ambiguous. Pause the sentence into three parts
Line-fishing is a sport
knitting is an art
John loves it ----> "it" (in the object position of clause 3) can refer to sport or to art. Hence ambiguous!
In the 1980'southward the charge per unit of increase of the minority population of the Us was near twice as fast every bit the 1970's.
(A) twice equally fast as
(B) twice as fast as information technology was in
(C) twice what it was in
(D) two times faster than that of
(E) two times greater than
IMO : C
In your example if you say "it" is referring to minority population then you are forgetting the preposition "of"
e.g Men of Rome that fought bravely
that refers to "Men" which is a noun earlier the preposition.

In the 1980's the rate of increase of the minority population of the Usa was nearly as fast as information technology was in the 1970'due south
Based on this ane can sympathize that IT refers to rate of increase, but even minority population is too a noun, yet it is not the principal subject area hence IT does not refer to minority population.
If a pronoun such as IT in the subordinate clause, has 2 antecendents i.due east. 2 nouns such as
Fishing is a sport and knitting is an art, hence john loves it. here it is ambigious as to whether it refers to Fishing or Knitting.
Am i correct in understanding this concept, pls explain.
In the 1980'south the rate of increase of the minority population of the United States was nigh twice as fast as the 1970'southward.
(A) twice as fast as
(B) twice every bit fast as it was in
(C) twice what it was in
(D) two times faster than that of
(East) 2 times greater than

Thank you nusmavrik. Can you explain the implications of a preposition- as you mention
>> if you say "information technology" is referring to minority population so you are forgetting the preposition "of"

The results of the recognition of the importance of oral rehydration therapy [is/are] very encouraging to WHO ------> subject area is "results". Hence the verb should be "are"
the rate of increment of the minority population of the Us was ----> subject is "rate" Non minority population.
Men of Rome who fought bravely ...... ----> subject is "Men" Not Rome
In the example :
In the 1980'southward the rate of increase of the minority population of the US was nearly as fast as it was in the 1970's >>>> "it" is correct as it is comparing the "charge per unit of increment" between the two periods. Yet this sentence has redundancies as I accept explained before.

Straight E..
there are iii contenders...B,C and E..
as per Manhattan Sentence Correction Guide...'being' usage should be avoided in GMAT (C is out)...
between B and D....
B uses 'among'...now nosotros don't know that simply the cultures named in the sentence names the constellation by these names or at that place are others too..
so we use 'different'

The constellation that includes the North Star has been known by many names among different cultures, called "The Acquit" in ancient Hellenic republic, "The Drinking Gourd" in parts of Africa, and "Star Daughter and Her Seven Sky Brothers" among the Cheyenne people of North America.
The first thing to solve here is "in" VS "amongst". Here the winner is (IMO) "in", " Northward Star has been known by many names in/amongst unlike cultures": has been known (...) among is wrong.
Out A and B.
Now I can eliminate C easly, "COMMA +ING" modifies the preceding clause, in this case "being " refers to "North Star has been known by many names" (doesn't make sense).
D or E?
D) in different cultures; including the title
Eastward) in different cultures; it was called
When we use ";", we must be enlightened that is connects two indipent phrases. In D "including" spoils this construct (D is not an indipendent phrase" including the championship "The Conduct" in ancient Hellenic republic ...")
IMO Eastward

The constellation that includes the North Star has been known by many names amongst different cultures, called "The Conduct" in ancient Greece, "The Drinking Gourd" in parts of Africa, and "Star Girl and Her 7 Sky Brothers" amongst the Cheyenne people of North America.
1 "among" implies that the unlike cultures shared names, so eliminate A and B. 2 "beingness chosen" is awkward so eliminate C 3 an independent clause should follow the semicolon and "the title" is redundant so eliminate D
(A) amid different cultures, chosen
(B) amongst different cultures; it was called
(C) in dissimilar cultures, being called
(D) in different cultures; including the championship
(Eastward) in unlike cultures; it was called
The past tense "was called" is necessary because we are talking about aboriginal Greece.

Doesnt "in unlike cultures" also imply that the cultures shared the names?
This is my point of dubiety here. If in that location are "many names" in different cultures, it is not at all articulate that each culture used only one of the names.

I am still confused with the correct answer pick here. While the first part of the sentence says the constellation has been known by many names, the second function says information technology was chosen. Isn't in that location a tense consequence here????

There's no disharmonize between the ii different tenses. The first part is in the present perfect. It's saying that over time, the constellation has been known past different names. This is a state of affairs that continues to the present day. (For instance, those of the states in the English-speaking world telephone call it The Petty Dipper or Ursa Pocket-size.) The second part is listing some names the constellation has been called in the past. It's non necessary to plant that no one calls them that anymore, but the accent here is on past usage, and that's fine.
(Every bit an bated, this sentence is mixing up ii unlike constellations--Ursa Minor and Ursa Major--but that doesn't bear on the grammer.)
