Re: Them vs These in SC

Thanks


I'm not expert but IMO "them" is used only as pronoun in place of plural noun and "these" can't be used as a noun on SC.

Let's wait for some experts reply though...

If we intend to mean AIM AT then we have to use "Geared Towards" it sound better to me than "Geared To"

Re: HOW CAN I GET HIGH MARK ON MATH

It's not true that GMAT questions don't change. GMAC changes questions every month or so.

For getting higher marks on Quant you should focus on MGMAT guides and OGs.

Re: Ron, Stacey please help to understand the meaning!

Manifestations of Christian political militancy in the first period of 19th century were the rise of the A,B,C, and D, and the victory of X. I'm not sure whether 'manifestations were A and B' is ok or not? Does it convey awkward meaning? Also if you add 'manifestations were shown in A and B' does i...

Re: Advanced Pronouns

In the 12th Chapter of the Sentence correction an example says "When Norma and her husband read an article about Florida's adorable manatees, they promised each other that they would one day go to Florida and see one." How is "they" not ambiguous. As far as I know, the rule that...

Re: mission critical modifier

@willigetmylifeback thanks for replying. I too thought that 1 sounded better but apparently it is vague because of the modifier 'that' which seems to be modifying the noun town instead of the noun processions. So the town seems to feature the various events rather than the procession itself. I was ...
