Re: Help in Multiple parallelism(very hard and tricky to spot)

In my opinion: 1. (E) is correct, because "confronting a devasted economy" and "improving the morale of a demoralized nation" are two separate actions. The parallelism is between "By confronting..." and "by improving...". Option (A) distorts the meaning of the...

I found a problem today that I think may have typos in the answer - at least I hope so. Can anyone shine some light on this?? Of the five coordinates associated with points A, B, C, D and E - which has the greatest absolute value? A= -2 B= -1 C= 0 D= 1 E= 2 Correct answer is A - stating that "...

Re: If 60! is written out as an integer,

with how many consecutive 0's will that integer end? Hi, as kartikeya mentioned, we will need to find out how many multiples of 10 (60, 58*55, 50, etc.) are present in 60!.
