Good question! While "fewer limitations" is correct, the entire phrase results in an awkward construction and would therefore not be the best option to complete the sentence.

Hope this helps! :)

thanks so much for reply,
I am confused by "having" when I practice OG this time, IMO, having works as a modifier is suspected because it can be replaced with "with phrase"...
appreciate if explain further about "having", when "having" is a better/correct,
thanks a lot

Hi Zoe,

Using "having" as a descriptor in this way (to mean "with...") is almost always incorrect on the GMAT. It is most commonly used correctly in a construction such as "Having done X, Zoe did Y...."

Hi Richa :)

Yes, the adjectival phrase "with less limitations on water access" does modify the noun clans. However, since limitations is plural, the phrase would need to read "with fewer limitations..." to be correct.

Hope this helps :)

Hi there!

Both "water access" and "access to water" are acceptable.

(B) is wrong because of "where."
In C, the pronoun "they" has no clear antecedent.
D and E are wrong because "limitations" is a countable noun and must be paired with "fewer", not "less."

shouldn't option A be "whose access to water WERE less limited." as CLANS are plural??
