Health officials estimate that 35 million Africans are in danger of contracting trypanosomiasis, or “African sleeping sickness,” a parasitic disease spread by the bites of tsetse flies.

(A) are in danger of contracting
(B) are in danger to contract
(C) have a danger of contracting
(D) are endangered by contraction
(E) have a danger that they will contract


A Correct. In this sentence, the correct idiom is used in the expression are in danger of contracting.
B Are in danger must be followed by of, not the infinitive
C Have a danger is not the correct idiom
D This wordy passive voice construction cannot be followed by trypanosomiasis
E Have a danger is not the correct idiom; the structure is wordy and ungrammatical

The correct answer is A.

F1GMAT: Would you encourage others to attend MIP International MBA Program?

Vineeth: Oh yeah! The study method consists of a good mix of case studies and classroom lectures. The number and quality of contacts that MIP has in the business world is impressive.

To top it all- MIP is truly international. In my class we had more than 20 different nationalities. The diversity and different experiences makes for testing times during discussions. However, it does serve up an invaluable learning experience, helping build a good foundation to pursue a career in the international business arena. Get in touch with alumni to get a better picture of the institution.
