Notes http://grammar.ccc.commnet.edu/grammar/auxiliary.htm#would http://grammar.ccc.commnet.edu/grammar/auxiliary.htm#can In A - 'their' has an unclear reference B has an unclear 'its' it seems. 'its' could refer to the red giant stage. Post by rianah100 (laxieqv's expln) associated is past tense and this does not match the tense of the whole scentence A is wrong since there is no parallelism instead of 'but not because' we should use 'but not that' It's between D and E since we need singular verb for 'the pattern'. D is correct. 'descendant of' is correctly used. we should look at "pattern"in pattern of changes as "group" in group of men ... here group is singular E, the best choice,employs idiomatic construction and uses the precise decrease... to the lowest level. Choices A and B are faulty construction. The adverbial so that can modify verbs(eg:decreased) but not nouns (eg: the decrease). The meaning of lowest two-year rate in B is unclear;in any event the phrase distorts the intended meaning of lowest in two years. In A and B, the referent of it is unclear, as the pronoun could refer to either unemployment or decrease. Choice 'C' improperly uses would be to describe a situation that is presented as a current and known fact. Also, there is no noun for lowest to modify;clearly "the lowest decrease" is not intended. In D, the phrase two-year low level is unidiomatic, as well as unclear in its intended meaning consfused with A to demonstrate vs in demonstrating helpful in + gerund is correct (so helpful in demonstrating) - E between X and Y is the correct structure. Here, X = industrial emissions of sulfur dioxide and nitrogen Y = atmospheric water vapor D is out on account of the usage of "were" - "the increase were requested" is incorrect

Main Entry: 1dispose Pronunciation: di-'spOz Function: verb Inflected Form(s): disposed; disposing Etymology: Middle English, from Anglo-French desposer, from Latin disponere to arrange (perfect indicative disposui), from dis- + ponere to put -- more at POSITION transitive verb 1 : to give a tendency to : INCLINE <faulty diet disposes one to sickness> 2 a : to put in place : set in readiness : ARRANGE <disposing troops for withdrawal> b obsolete : REGULATE c : BESTOW intransitive verb 1 : to settle a matter finally 2 obsolete : to come to terms synonym see INCLINE - disposer noun - dispose of 1 : to place, distribute, or arrange especially in an orderly way 2 a : to transfer to the control of another <disposing of personal property to a total stranger> b (1) : to get rid of <how to dispose of toxic waste> (2) : to deal with conclusively <disposed of the matter efficiently> had maintained - past perfect not correct (why ? Not 100% sure - maybe cos it happened in the past and also cos there is no other event after which this is specified to havve happened) of course children is plural so children's not childrens' among vs between - check the festival feature the preparation not the homeall choices except D seem to indicate so also is missing ? Check Trick : u have to find out whether it is a "contrast question" or it is an "additional information" question. If you analyse carefully, u will find that second portion is trying to add something to main clause. So all options that include contrast conjuctions (Although, but) should be dropped. Only (D) and (E) are left. U can safely pick (D) over (E) for correct grammatical usage. OA is E - logic is that comparison is between two actions. It is the action that is being compared not the process

A) superficial such as when each of the three major networks each of the three major networks is a singular subject, broadcast does not agree with it. S-V agreement error.

(B) superficial, as can sometimes occur if all of the three major networks OK in S-V agreement, but wordy. (C) superficial if the three major networks all The phrasing of this sentence is not accurate. It should be if all of the three major networks (D) superficial whenever each of the three major networks Each of the three major networks is a singular subject, broadcast does not agree with it. S-V agreement error. (E) superficial, as when the three major networks each three major networks each is plural subject and broadcast agrees with it. OK E) it is

http://www.gmatclub.com/phpbb/viewtopic.php?t=14087 Yes idiom is both X and Y. 'the' before adjectives (here younger and older are adjectives) is typically done to give it a function o to me now as wide of seems wrongso B better than A plural should be maintained, C uses their for a singular spider. B uses their uniformly but bite is singular so 'is' should be used i A) putting "unlikely" before "effect" seems to refer the likelihood of the "effect". E better conveys the idea of the sentence by say Anything with "expenditure" is wrong. The author is not trying to convey the meaning conveyed by "expenditure. So that eliminates B, C, D. Between A and D, D is wrong because of comparison [D compares energy expended in US (a country) Vs what is expended by West Germans (people)]. I didnt recognize it when i POE; i narrowed my choices down to A and D and went with "A" coz i didnt find anything wrong with A and D just felt funny. Looking back, i now know why D is wrong. Alright, this is one of those ambiguous questions which can have IMO 2 very possible answers. Clearly it is b/w A and E although I would say that common usage dictates that "aid to" in E sounds better. One thing is for sure though, the reason why A is good is NOT because of the parallellism b/w "asking, healing and thanking" as "healing" is part of an idiom rather than part of the present participle forms of "asking" and "healing". To me E sounds better although A is also a totally acceptable answer. Just do a quick search on google and you will see that "aid in + present participle" or "aid to + verb" are totally acceptable versions. acclaimed as is correct idiom

>> This is an unreal conditional, so we should use the form "if sbj. were... , sbj. would V1" Even if the sbj. is singular you should use "were" ! That is the rule.

>> If I were you, I would not drive fast. >>If his project were found impressive, he would be promoted. http://www.gmatclub.com/phpbb/viewtopic.php?t=19743&postdays=0&postorder=asc&highlight=artificial+intelligence+emerged check has decided versus decided in B 'they' is ambiguous since it can refer to foreheads. In C that is not ambiguous since the foreheads part comes inside the clause that modifies elephants both X and Y B is more direct and uses active voice. Did not find information on the from that or vs from part Had confusion between C and D. In C, "even though there is no certainty that the expenditure of money in large sums produces" uses expenditure of money in large sums which is incorrect correct usage is expenditure of large sums of money Needed the 'from which' here, did not notice it selene wrote: ^A^ Firstly, we are referring to the green fields not the patchwork, so the verb should be plural "surround". Thus, B and E are out. D is wrong because it says "bustle". However, it should refer to patchwork so we need "bustles". Also "many of which" cannot refer to workers. C is wrong as "many of who" is not a correct usage. A stands.. correct parallelism is 'partly to acquire' and 'partly to provide' which is present in E "A" it should be. to try to recover - is the correct form. B) to try and recover - is not correct form C) Awkward construction D) To try for the recovery - not a correct form E) to try to do someday - incorrect. ('to try someday' would have been better) B is definitely incorrect due to "try and recover" because "recover" here must clarify " try" ( try to do what) ...if not, the two verbs are independent. Let's say they're independent, then "try uranium from seawater" sounds awkward! ---> they're not independent to be seperated by "and" --> the correct one must be "try to recover"

About "someday" ...i don't know if its position in B is suitable or not but by putting "someday" at the beginning like that, we make the sentence sound very narrative ( this is not suitable to describe a scientific fact) http://www.gmatclub.com/phpbb/viewtopic.php?t=18657&highlight=seems+likely+number+astronomical+phenomena+such+for between seems to give the wrong meaning here due to the and authorities' granting is not correct idiom confining them in is not idiomatic Just as X so Y

http://www.gmatclub.com/phpbb/viewtopic.php?t=17497&highlight=last+spring+colorado+health+department+survey+72+playg main difference here is that those Used to indicate an unspecified number where as they usually refers to known things. Hence usage of those is approriate also in choice E usage of they could be confusing. Had E read as fast as, and in some parts even faster than, land values rose then it would have been ok E is not correct since it uses 'considered as and ally' versus 'considered an ally' that is necessary 1. S-V agreement 2. parallelism 3. proper use of a colon to list the effects.

E is best. A and C are out because effects is plural so are should be used. B is out because it breaks parallelism. D is out because effects is plural so include should be used. Like is correct here, since it says Jack London was slowly killed, not Jack London's death, in that case we are comparing the nature of their deaths but here we are just comparing people Like is correct here

This SC is about "listing" (apart from other minor problems) (A) Manifestations of Islamic political militancy in the first period of religious reformism were the rise of the Wahhabis in Arabia, the Sanusi in Cyrenaica, the Fulani in Nigeria, the Mahdi in the Sudan, and >> This sounds a bit awkward & also the list is wrong. If there was "and" after "Nigeria", it would have been correct. One should list similar things properly. Like x,y & z. (B) Manifestations of Islamic political militancy in the first period of religious reformism were shown in the rise of the Wahhabis in Arabia, the Sanusi in Cyrenaica, the Fulani in Nigeria, the Mahdi in the Sudan, and also >> This is wrong sentence, "...reformism were shown in the rise of ...the victory of the Usuli mujtahids in Shiite Iran and Iraq", sounds awkward. Rise of victory? (C) In the first period of religious reformism, manifestations of Islamic political militancy were the rise of the Wahhabis in Arabia, of the Sanusi in Cyrenaica, the Fulani in Nigeria, the Mahdi in the Sudan, and >> This is not parallel, "rise of X, of Y, Z" misses "of". Also "and" problem as in "A" (D) In the first period of religious reformism, manifestations of Islamic political militancy were shown in the rise of the Wahhabis in Arabia, the Sanusi in Cyrenaica, the Fulani in Nigeria, the Mahdi in the Sudan, and >> "and" problem as in "A". Also, "...were shown in the rise of ...the victory of the Usuli ...". Rise of victory? (E) In the first period of religious reformism, Islamic political militancy was manifested in the rise of the Wahhabis in Arabia, the Sanusi in Cyrenaica, the Fulani in Nigeria, and the Mahdi in the Sudan, and in >> This maintains the "list", excellent.

In all of the others, the "where" seems out there...with no clear logical referent. E clearly suggests that "where" refers to Minnesota. means to is correct idiom, means to investing is correct In C, "paper" is not countable so saying "paper" being "more than ever" expected to be recycled is wrong. refer OG as is better than 'than' only E gives the correct meaning to the scentence. Others make it look like the relationshipp depends on the farsi language OG:167 in b 'than ever before' refers to the river D does look better http://www.gmatclub.com/phpbb/viewtopic.php?t=9781

thought E was better, but chose B cos it sounded better, E had 'the larger' now that has to be correct since it is the correct answer choice When we talk about 2 things in a comparative form, we should say "the more" and "the smaller" as we have in this question. As a grammer rule, we use "the" before the superlative form like "the best", "the most expensive". However, if we are making a comparison between two things we should use "the + comparative form". "Compare to" is used to compare unlike things whereas "compare with" compares like/similar things. "Compare to" is used to stress the resemblance.Compare with can be used to show either similarity or difference but is usually used to stress the difference. Compare takes with when it refers to the act of examining two like things in order to discern their similarities. Compare with: To evaluate things relative to each other; confused between C or AOA is C tho I think C is right. I think the error in A may be that "prohibit from" needs an "ing" present participle immediately after, which A does not have. Ex: I prohibit you from doing/eating/crossing X Anybody else could confirm this? I think A would have been good if it were as follows: [...] that any chemical banned on medical grounds in the United States be prohibited from being sold to other countries Like vs As 'Like' is used to compare people or things (nouns) Ex: Jack and Jull, like Humpty Dumpty, are extremely stupid. 'As' is used to compare clauses. A clause is any phrase that includes a verb Ex: Just as jogging is a good exercise, swimming is a great way to burn calories. than those of any other is correctneeded to look at it more carefully E does'nt even have might.stupid I did not notice C provides the necessary contrast, through 'while, to change from lowered to raised OG #108 mentioning 'an amount' is specific and is better than not specifying that, needed to look at the choice more carefully "which" could be used as a restrictive or non-restrictive clause. Also, "which", as Praveen said, does not always refer to the immediately preceding word. Sometimes, "which", much like an absolute phrase does, will refer to the previous sentence as a whole. ie My brother got 95% in his exam, which really surprised me given the amount of studying he put in. "which" here does not refer to subject of prepositional phrase "exam" as Praveen said. That said, I believe best answer is E because b/w two answer choices in GMAT world, if one has a clear referrent as E does, I would pick it over B

A is the correct answer. This question is about the use of present vs past participle. present participle is used to denote a present condition that still prevails past participle is used to denote a completed action, usually in a passive mood The sentence is definitely talking about the filigree: filigree [of mushrooms and rootlike tentacles] spawned by a single fertilized spore some 10,000 years ago and extending for more than 30 acres in the soil of a Michigan forest What is b/w brackets is a prepositional phrase and remove it to make the sentence less cumbersome: filigree spawned by a single fertilized spore some 10,000 years ago and extending for more than 30 acres in the soil of a Michigan forest As you can see, the filigree spawned by X some 10,000 years ago. This warrants the use of past participle. Also, "spawned by" denotes passive voice which justifies the use of past participle. As for the "extending", it is still prevailing today in the Michigan forest so you cannot use past participle "extended". The present and past participles are used to describe the "filigree", they act as adjectives.

ArashKhurana wrote: Thanks dahiya. As you will see, I pasted a part of paul's explanation in my question. But i still did not understand what was wrong with extends. Can someone pls explain?

I think, this is because "extending" is the present participle form of "extend" while "extends" is a verb (in present tense) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------a) ' as those who are sedentary' --> should be 'than those' b) "...than those who are sedentary do" --> last 'do' is redundnat c) awkward sentence d) 'as those' who are sedentary --> should be 'than those' E is the best choice.

Hi hardworker, thanks for the research. I think the issue of what a relative pronoun refers to is subject to debate. There are examples, like the one link you provided where the relative clause refers to the noun and not the prepositional phrase preceding it. How can you know? By the verb that follows starts the relative clause. ie. The failing of the book lies not in a lack of attention to scientific detail but in the depiction of scenes of life and death in the marine world with emotional overtones that reduce the credibility of the work As you can see, reduce gives a hint that the relative clause should refer to the "overtones" and not the "marine world" In the original question: Severe and increasingly numerous critics are pointing to deficiencies in the British legal system that seem to deny a proper defense to many clients who are charged with crimes The verb seem is conjugated in a plural tense and makes it clear that we are not talking about the legal system(singular) but the deficiencies(plural) I can also come up with many other examples where the relative clause will refer to either the prepositional phrase or the preceding noun not part of the preposition phrase. ie The houses in the city that never sleeps --> sleeps is conjugated in singular tense and refers to the city. Action of never sleeping is properly performed by the city. ie The houses in the city that are decorated in a Georgian style --> we are talking about the houses that are decorated... the city cannot be so. Conclusion: We should look out for what the action following the relative clause conveys. Who the action can properly refer to is crucial. If there is any ambiguity, restate the noun to be modified by the relative clause as (A) does. However, because 1- only deficiencies is plural 2- the action of "denying proper defense" can only be performed by deficiencies then the introduction of relative clause properly refers to deficiencies and there is no ambiguity You can also look up this link where there was a discussion on what noun a relative clause refers to have should be used since here there is no reference to number of or anything

We need present perfect here as we have "since". (We are talking about the time from 1986 up to now) So we are left with C and D. >> we have such a usage as "allow X to do sth". So, D is the answer. Since 1986 when the Department of Labor began to allow fees of investment officers to be based on the performance of the funds they manage, several corporations have begun paying their investment advisers a small basic fee, with a contract promising higher fees if the managers perform well. 'Have begun' is important since this is something that has started ans is continuing only B and E clearly identify that smooth and perfect refer to the wings all others are ambiguousE has other issues so B is is correct not aresince ownership is singular B is // as because of is more correctgoes with the flow of the scentance

C seems correct toobut A is more concisepost in gmat club also less likely than something.there is no comparison in C ... young people (with higher-than-average blood pressure) whose families have a history of high blood pressure Prepositional Phrase (modifying young people): with higher-than-average blood pressure Relative Clause (whose is relative pronoun whose antecendent is ypng people) : whose families have a history of high blood pressure E - blood pressure running in the families is too akward It can be sighted at the sun's poles not on the sun's poles or equator...it can be sighted on the surface Confusion is related to prepositions "At", "On" and "In". Just to brush up the concept: Prepositions differ according to the number of dimensions they refer to: Point Prepositions in this group indicate that the noun that follows them is treated as a point in relation to which another object is positioned. Surface Prepositions in this group indicate that the position of an object is defined with respect to a surface on which it rests. Area/Volume Prepositions in this group indicate that an object lies within the boundaries of an area or within the confines of a volume.

A. Television programs developed in conjunction with the marketing of toys, which was once prohibited by federal regulations, are ==> It sound as though "the marketing of toys" was once prohibited... B. Television programs developed in conjunction with the marketing of toys, a practice that federal regulations once prohibited, is ==> Same as A C. Developing television programs in conjunction with the marketing of toys, as once prohibited by federal regulations, is ==> Use of 'as' is weird/awkward; also its not the 'developing' rather than the 'programs' that were prohibited D. Federal regulations once prohibited developing television programs in conjunction with the marketing of toys, but they are ==> Use of 'they' is unclear E. Federal regulations once prohibited developing television programs in conjunction with the marketing of toys, but such programs are ==> Correct! Correctly conveys that such programs are now permitted.. A, has pronouns that have no referrents "it" is ambiguous infinite number is correct not infinite amount A has better parallelism

I think its C. Each... other is correct idiomatically. In Choice B, Both sides should be ended with one another and not each other. yes, "both" is not redundant rather it is awakward. "both" and "each other" donot come togather. was confused abt has vs have, have is correct herepower to facilitate is better than power of factilitating not surewhy C is better than B both sound correctmaybe C is more concise / yes C is better I would not choose D but seems right need to confirm as by is better than as it was by The Emperor Augustus, it appears, commissioned an idealized sculptured portrait, the features of which are (so unrealistic as to constitute) what one scholar calls an artificial face. (A) so unrealistic as to constitute ###Present tense. "are" is in present tense. Therefore "constitute" is ###correct, "constitued" is wrong. (B) so unrealistic they constituted ###"so that" is the correct usage. (C) so unrealistic that they have constituted ###Wrong tense. (D) unrealistic enough so that they constitute (E) unrealistic enough so as to constitute looking for plural/singular helped in this case http://www.gmatclub.com/phpbb/viewtopic.php?t=1408 Lots of discussionsundecided between A and B between C and E chose E since C uses a bank as opposed to E which uses banks .basically no good reasonseems like C is correct Looking at it now 'is to be delayed' seems wrong in Emaybe it should be 'will be delayed' since the bank should know prior how much time this should be

Compared to is used to compare unlike things Compared with is used to compare like things generally "Compare to" is used to stress the resemblance. where as "Compare with" is used when we want to show similarities or differences.. stressing the differences is lot more common on GMAT you will use "compare to" in the following situation. he compared her to sunshine. the girl and sunshine are unlike things here. where as "compare with" he compared a green apple with a red apple. apples are similar items. here its the rate of the fishes- sharks and fishes similar items so "compared with" is right in this case The problem is not with 'compare to' or 'compare with'. We have to compare the RATE of sharks to the RATES of other fishes. If we say 'RATE of other fishes' we'll make a mistake because all other fishes cannot have the same rate C uses the correct idiom forbid..to , prohibit ..from quite obviousstriking is very ambiguousA is best thatbe is correct in B Maybe this is a reason:A and D are wrong because ETS does not like to use "in that" or "for" due to their antiquated nature. Guess they (ETS) are trying to train us to write as modern day managers should.

Below is Paul's explanation - in this case for A to be correct it should havve been but what were much more difficult....

1- When "what" is the subject of a clause and the complement of the main clause are singular, the verb agrees with them 2- When "what" is the subject of a clause and the complement of the main clause are plural, the verb agrees with them ie What he wanted after filing for divorce was the car, the house and the dog. --> you can see that the complement in blue are singular so "was" is singular. This is similar to the original question. ie What he wanted after filing for divorce were the two cars, the properties and the pets. --> complement are plural so "were" is right. 3- Sometimes, you may find instances where "what" is not conjugated with the complement: This can happen in the case the writer wants to set a contrast between two nouns. ie What John likes most are bread and butter --> this means that bread and butter should be considered as two independent nouns and each, seperately, accounts for what John likes ie What John likes most is bread and butter --> this means that "bread and butter", as a single entity/group, is what John likes. Hence, "is" is appropriate. 4- When "what" is the object of a clause, if the complement is singular, then the verb should be singular. 5- When "what is the object of a clause, if the complement is plural, then the verb should be plural Applying this to your examples, where "what" is used as object of a clause, you should get: I see what seems to be a big tree. --> 3rd person singular is correct because the complement, big tree, is singular I see what seem to be huge houses. --> 3rd person plural is correct because the complement, huge houses, is plural You will find a link here which will give you more examples on the particularity of "what" as subject/object of a clause. http://www.bartleby.com/61/93/W0109300.html

R1:A. they should join forces to prevent crime in the neighborhood rather than continuing to be victimized ==> missing a 'that' and 'continuing' is not || with 'prevent' B. that they should join forces to prevent crime in the neighborhood rather than continue to be victimized ==> Correct!

R2:if it is so as you revised, i still stick with B becasue with the given condition, there are too many to's (actually 3 to) in E. even with your revision E is not parallel. lets see the difference bet B and E. (B) The president of the block association tried to convince her neighbors that they should join forces to prevent crime in the neighborhood rather than continue to be victimized (E) The president of the block association tried to convince her neighbors to join forces to prevent crime in the neighborhood rather than continue to be victimized. in some cases, particularly with some verbs such as mention, declare, report, state, THAT is obligatory, but with convince i am not sure. represent is more appropriate than 'are' D is better than E 'due to' doesnt sound good and contact directly with doesnt sound good either posted in gmatclub between D and E, E is more concise between C and E, E is better since previously estimated is better until' is used to denote a time limit. example: until 9 p.m.

Hong Hu: We are looking for a main clause!!! People who chose A B and C tell me what your main sentence is. Between D and E, "for decades" means you need to use perfect tense. Therefore you need to choose D. If it were "in the last year" then you need to use past tense instead of present perfect. Paul:A) does not complete the sentence. No verb. Just a non-restrictive clause starting with "which" Let's break down A: 1- The science of economics, --> This is the independent clause 2- which for four decades was dominated by Keynesians, --> this is a dependent clause called a relative clause which is introduced by relative pronoun "which" 3- who at first stressed the governments role in stimulating the economy, but who were ultimately led away from solutions based on government intervention --> another compound relative clause with a conjunction "but" and which, as a whole, refers to "Keynesians" of the previous dependent clause. Now, as you might see, the independent clause has no verb! Remove the dependent clauses and the sentence doesn't make sense anymore. D corrects for that and DOES have a verb for the independent clause. B) again, incomplete sentence with introduction of a restrictive clause starting with "that" C) plain incomplete sentence with introduction of a modifier. However, independent clause has no verb once again. Between D and E, D is better with present perfect use. It shows the changes happening among people countable so numbers of is correct Paul: foreseeable: could be foreseen D) weather conditions that are not foreseeable(could be foreseen) --> wrong B is best with "cannot be foreseen". It is clear and unambiguous. unforeseeable is an adjective and CANNOT be used as the object of a sentence. For instance, you would say "the foreseeable future" or "a foreseeable question" but you would say "a future that can be foreseen" or "a question that can be foreseen". In any case, the former instance when "foreseeable" is used as an adjective is more concise. Since D uses "foreseeable" as object rather than adjective, it is discarded. it is not the finite oil supply itself but the fact that the supply is becoming finite that is the problem, further the word economical is incorrect 3 own a bicycle it is the flavor that attracts, need use 'have' , http://www.gmatclub.com/phpbb/viewtopic.php?t=8685&highlight=years+exquisitely+subtle+flavors+sup erb+richness+kenyan+coffee+attracted+international+following+discerning+consumers firm has proposed installing X and digging Y only armed' is wrong 'armed only' A is the only possible choice.. "to learn" is parallel to "to tinker". furthermore, "as a teenager" in C suggests as if someone is trying to tinker as a teenager do. No! we need to show that in the teenage one tried to tinker. we can use like only to refer to nouns, not to actions. When we compare actions, we must use AS. that leaves A to be the only correct option

A) Two week notice being given to employers before leaving - Wrong, Sounds like Employers are leaving. (B) Giving notice to employers of two weeks before having to leave - Wrong, sounds like the employers are 2 weeks. (C) Two weeks notice to give to employers before leaving - Wrong, sounds wordy and does not have a correct flow, two weeks notice to give to, this pharse, does not sound right. Pardon me, i do not know better way to explain.. (D) Giving notice to employers two weeks before leaving - Correct answer, the flow of the sentence is clear and concise. (E) To give two weeks worth of notice before having to leave - Wrong, does not tell, to whom the notice is to be given.

recoup a loss is correct

1. so.. that...: answers why did you do that? 2. so.. as to..: answers why did you it that way? Grammatically: 1. so + adjective/adverb/noun + that + Full Clause 2. so + adjective/adver/noun + as + Infinitive. Eg: He worked so hard that he fell sick. He worked so hard as to be a rich poerson. It's b/w A and D. There are 2 reasons why A is better 1- "so... that..." is preferred to "so...as to..." in introducing a result/conclusion 2- D suffers from what I would call "misplaced negation" What the sentence wants to convey is that the study is not practical rather than the tornado not making the study practical. Do you see the nuance? A tornado can cause damages but I don't think it can make any study become anything. I recall someone who recently asked when passive voice is better. Well, this is a perfect example because the study should be the subject of this passive sentence rather than the tornado illogically performing the action of making the study[...].

A,B,C all have wrong comparisonsalso in C what does weak refer to weakness in analytical skills or what Among D and E, D is good. It is fine to have an appositive or rest/non-rest. clause between two nouns being compared. However, B's problem rests upon the erroneous use of multiple pronouns and misplaced modifier. First B's non-restrictive clause "which they admit they lack" is using pronoun "they" repeatedly and it is just wordy. A simpler way of saying it would have been "which they admit lacking". Second, obviously, people are wrongly compared to skills. In your given sentence: Quote: Unlike computer skills, which people admit they lack, analytical skills.......? In red is a non-restr. clause, not an appositive. Although it is fine in terms of noun comparison, the nonrestr. clause itself is wrong because it use pronoun "they" when it could have been re-written as follows: "which people admit lacking". I strongly believe that an economical use of words is crucial in the GMAT. E is wrong because of idiomatic use. It is preferable to say that "you are disinclined to X" than "you have a disinclination to X". Once again, conciseness is preferred in D. C has the same idiomatic usage problem. "to bring out the disinclination in many people" sounds very awkward. I got D on this one although my hesitation was between C and D. _________________ It is very difficult, unlike in most warbler species, to tell the male and female IN blue-winged warbler apart. Here IN is necessary for a proper comparison and it is not there "Apples to Apples " construct is necessary. Compare male and female blue winged warblers to others. C uses a faulty construct 1. We cant use distinguish in that way...its always distinguish between x and y.. 2.Unlike THOSE in most warbler species, the male and female blue winged warblers....PROVE it to yourself that this is a good comparison. See the problem yet..ok..heres a modified version Unlike those in most warbler species, the males and females in the blue winged warbler species are very difficult to distinguish. OR Unlike those of most warbler species, the males and females of the blue winged warblers are... C, pugeot is a placeread the scentence properly

C is clear E has an ambiguous 'that' Not X nor Y construct is a valid one Only E is parallel bring' should be used here since 'that' refers to both folkways and the lifestyle. Since the scentence is completed with 'to their harsh environment' folkways becomes redundant and akward if that refers to only the lifestyle (B) Problems of managing water and resources >> "problems of managing water" sounds as if managing water itself is a problem, also sounds awkward. (C) Problems in the management of water and other resources >> This more clear, "problems that are faced in the management of the water". This is idiomatic as razlulz pointed out. One more point: "other resources" actually makes it clear that "resources" are something other than water. You can frame sentence (C) with & without "other" & read loudly, check which one your ears like A is the trap, but be sure to note that water is not necessarily a problem in the way the sentence is written, therefore slighly changing the meaning. OE : Besides being wordy, the clauses beginning What was in A and The thing that was in B cause inconsistencies in verb tense: the use of the new technology cannot logically be described by both the present perfect has been and the past was. In B and D, developing the compact disc is not parallel to the use of new technology to revitalize ... performances; in C, the best answer, the noun development is parallel to use. The phrases none the less ... than in D and no less... as in E are unidiomatic; the correct form of expression, no less ... than, appears in C, the best choice. D. "That" refers to languages so need plural verb "are". so now left with B and D. B is too wordy... D wins. check in gmatclub.was doubtful bet A & E they' in E has an unclear referent has' is missing in E which refers to licorice plant in C from gmatclub seems like E Is the right answer ! +"that could eventually...." should be suitably placed in order to make a noun clause of "a new type of jet engine" . The clause is wronly placed in A and B ---> the two out. Moreover, "to help" in B fails to maintain the sentence's illism. + "or helping" in C and D are wrong coz of not maintaining the parallelism. E it is. most people are uncomfortable about the proof for seems like has been should be used instead of was in D and yes has been is correct

A it is it is fine to have a relative pronoun antecede its corresponding noun verb "predicted" needs past conditional construction with verb will in the past tense = would X predicted that Y would... Only A and C remain. C is way too wordy so A wins jpv, it doesn't matter, "would" is still required. eg The book that predicted the world would end in 2000 --> ok eg The book that predicted the world to end in 2000 --> no no Nocilis, pertaining to your 2 questions, I will try to provide some answers to them. Question#1- The missing "that" belongs to 2 different idioms. a) X that predicted Y + verb + complement(if applicable) b) X predicted that Y In the first case, you can see that sentence is not complete because the independent clause, after removing the restrictive clause in red, needs a verb + any complements following it. In the first case also, it means that the prediction is of secondary importance and whoever predicted Y will be described in the second half of the sentence. For example: The doctor that predicted X is very intelligent. You can see that we have to revert back to some description of the "predictor" after the restrictive clause. Thus, it is the doctor who is intelligent. This is the EXACT format of (A) in the original question and it is the reason why A is fine. The second case means that the prediction has precedence and it is the main subject of interest of the sentence. For example: The doctor predicted that X still check on gmatclub, I chose E over C since E has have remained as opposed to remain which makes it seem like the next 3 months is in the future Regarding the position of adverb as per jpv's comment, adverbs are rather flexible. They can be located before or after the verb/adjective they intend to modify. Read the "position of adverb" here: http://cctc.commnet.edu/grammar/adverbs.htm I agree with gmataquaguy's elimination of A,B and D. However, C is not eliminated because of the adverb position as shown in the above link. Instead, it should be because of verb tense structure. The whole sentence starts in the past perfect tense and suddenly reverts to the present tense and this is unwarranted. E is best.

OA in the doc is wrong. You want to point out that the learning happened before the discovery so past perfect is needed. A, B and C are out. E suffers from having a subjectless independent clause, the one between the commas. Only D stands. In B, the use of present participle at first fails to convey continuity. A present participle is best used to denote an action that is ongoing but yet, the second half of the sentence starts with "knew", a finite action which is already completed. By this I mean that the sentence is illogical. How could he have known X while still discovering it? Consider this example: While eating his apple, Martin walked to school. This is a logical sentence which means that Martin really ate an apple at the same time as he walked. This is the logic behind using a present participle. C is wrong in that it places the prepositional phrase at the wrong place. "in young manhood before him" placed at that location illogically means that there were "other manhoods before him". This is a misconstructed sentence. Only D is completely logical and stands. The semi-colon is often used to introduced another idea closely linked to the former sentence; it is continuity. Notice how I just used the semi-colon. http://www.gmatclub.com/phpbb/viewtopic.php?t=8295&highlight=lincoln

which and whose do not have proper referrants...so A As in C - can I use whose for inanimate things? Yes, as per american heritage (I was wrong on this before. I thought whose can be used only for animate things. It can as well be used for inanimate things.) From bartleby.com - "whose. You can use whose as a possessive to refer to both animate and inanimate nouns. Thus you can say Crick, whose theories still influence work in laboratories around the world or Cricks theories, whose influence continues to be felt in laboratories around the world. With inanimate nouns you can also use of which as an alternative, as in Cricks theories, the influence of which continues to be felt in laboratories around the world. But as this example demonstrates, substituting of which for whose is sometimes cumbersome." What does that in A refer to? that refers to emotional overtones. Whenever you see a that, it might refer to a noun in the preceding part of the sentence either(1) based on proximity or (2) based on logic. Eg: SC# 152 (page: 676) in OG, RC# 236 (page: 394) in OG Gmatclub posts: 60579, 7483, etc. What are depict idioms? depict X as Y depict X with Y How did we select A? A - shows that depiction has overtones, that reduce makes it relative B - fact is wrong, this is only opinion C - shows that marine world has overtones, (I dont prefer whose for inanimate objects) D - shows that life and death has overtones, E - fact is wrong this is only opinion Another vote for C: have increased - the present perfect is required because this is a event that started in past (i.e first 3 months of this year) and still true ( i.e. this year is not over yet) "which" is required to qualify that the 5 percent increase was in profits, therefore D & E are out A - uses simple past which implies the increase is not longer true B - uses past perfect - hence out ..

When what is the subject of a clause, it takes a singular verb if the word or phrase that completes the sentence (the complement) is singular, as in I see what seems to be a dead tree. It is plural if a plural noun or noun phrase completes the sentence, as in He sometimes makes what seem to be gestures of reconciliation. Clauses with what as either subject or object may themselves be the subject of a sentence, and sometimes it is difficult to decide whether the verb of the main clause should be singular or plural. When the what in the what-clause is the object of the verb and the complement of the main clause is singular, the main verb is always singular: What they wanted was a home of their own; when the complement of the main sentence is plural, the verb is most often plural: What American education needs are smaller classes, though one also encounters sentences such as What the candidate gave the audience was the same old empty promises. When what is the subject of a what-clause that is the subject of a main clause, there is greater variation in usage. When the verb of the what-clause and the complement of the main clause are both plural or both singular, the number of the verb of the main clause generally agrees with them. When the verb in the what-clause is singular and the complement in the main clause is plural, one finds both singular and plural verbs being used. Sentences similar to both of the following are found in respected writers: What drives me crazy is her frequent tantrums; What bothers him are the discrepancies in their accounts. When the complement of the main clause consists of two or more nouns, the verb of the main clause is generally singular if the nouns are singular and plural if they are plural: What pleases the voters is his honesty and his willingness to take on difficult issues; On entering the harbor what first meet the eye are luxurious yachts and colorful villas. Occasionally the choice of a singular or plural verb may be used to convey a difference in meaning. In the sentence What excite him most are money and power, the implication is that money and power are separable goals; in What excites him most is money and power, the implication is that money and power are inextricably bound together.

Question

Mary, a veterinary student, has been assigned an experiment in mammalian physiology that would require her to take a healthy, anesthetized dog and subject it to a drastic blood loss in order to observe the physiological consequences of shock. The dog would neither regain consciousness nor survive the experiment. Mary decides not to do this assignment. Marys decision most closely accords with which one of the following principles? (A) All other things being equal, gratuitously causing any animal to suffer pain is unjustified. (B) Taking the life of an animal is not justifiable unless doing so would immediately assist in saving several animal lives or in protecting the health of a person. (C) The only sufficient justification for experimenting on animals is that future animal suffering is thereby prevented. (D) Practicing veterinarians have a professional obligation to strive to prevent the unnecessary death of an animal except in cases of severely ill or injured animals whose prospects for recovery are dim. (E) No one is ever justified in acting with the sole intention of causing the death of a living thing, be it animal or human.

15 M: It is almost impossible to find a person between the ages of 85 an 90 who primarily uses
the left hand. Q: Seventy to ninety years ago, however, children were punished for using their left hands to eat or to write and were forced to use their right hands. Qs response serves to counter any use by M of the evidence about 85 to 90 year olds in supports of which one of the following hypotheses? (A) Being born right-handed confers a survival advantage. (B) Societal attitudes toward handedness differ at different times. (C) Forcing a person to switch from a preferred hand is harmless. (D) Handedness is a product of both genetic predisposition and social pressures. (E) Physical habits learned in school often persist in old age.

My ans

A. The dog would be anesthetized, so no pain. B. Keep C. The only justification is too extreme of a statement. D. Mary is not a practicing veternarian. E. No one is also very extreme. What about "mercy killings?" B by POE.

"A" it should be Qs response serves to counter any use by M of the evidence about 85 to 90 year olds in supports of which one of the following hypotheses? The question is very tricky, it says, "What hypothesis is M supporting by saying what he says" "M clearly means being right handed is advantageous", hence "A".

Mistake

PS 32

ETS #52

did not read the question properly, formed the wrong equation. 19 Missed one detail that was provided in the question did not read the question properly. Found a param diff from what 6 was requested did not read the question properly. Found a param diff from what 8 was requested forgot to divide ans by 2 used triangle area = base*height S6 Q11

PS 33 ETS #48

ETS #25

did not need to divide by 'n' since the original value was not the total but the share per person.Interpretation mistake Tricked - did not look at all answer choices properly before choosing my 16 answer. Tricked + careless error - height of eq triangle was given this is suff to 17 calculate area but I overlooked this 19 Interpretation - used reciprocal of rate instead of rate itself Did not read the question properly. Even if I had I would'nt have 21 known the conversion between yards and feet Observation: I'm always making mistakes in pairs apart from the fact that I dont seem to read que Overlooked the fact that a cylinder of radius 5" cannot fit into a box with one of the sides 8" ( Tricked + careless error + pressed for time + 16 distracted due to phone) did not read the question properly, so calculated something other than what was asked S5 Q2 S5 Q15 did not convert hours to seconds properly missed a X 60 I was drunk dont know how I missed this one. I think I again read the question wrong. Now seems obvious but during the test I remember trying to form the eq but I think I missed the part where it said f cents S7 Q11 for first mile Silly mistake, did not notice that the question was <25 not <=25 so again here did not read q properly, or interpreted the q incorrectly S2 Q13 calculated 1/x rather than x, did not read q properly, or interpreted the q incorrectly S2 Q15 S6 Q15 Slightly tricked, no reason why I should have got it wrong here, since I had ample time but would've got it wrong under time constraints. Did not think through all cases and do the problem completely Silly mistake, did not do the q properly Assumed that we know the current year, wrong assumption did not read q properly, used 4/7 instead of the 3/7 specified in the question did not use the right methodology, tried to plug in values and did not do a thorough job silly mistake, question interpretation - overlooked detail, though I actually understood the q silly mistake, did not realize that stat1 did not include information about when the train left, so stupid assumption
