Re: Plant scientists have used genetic engineering on seeds

Hi Ron, Tough question has been very well explained in this forum. I have just one more doubt. In the correct answer choice C, the first Bold Faced sentence is referred to as "it presents a development ...". Can we call a premise a "Development" ? In another official question(OG-...

Re: Critical reasoning

Hi, I don't understand answer choice E. How does choice E explain why the on-site day care didn't reduce the number of employees taking sick leaves to care for a sick child. E says there was an increase in the number of employees in the company.It doesn't say anything about the reason behind the fai...

Re: Critical reasoning

Hi Ron, Thank you for the explanation.. I understand that since the number of employees has increased now, more employees are likely to use day care facility. I am not getting from here: "AND more people calling in sick". I feel there is a missing link here (between more people in the day ...

Re: Critical reasoning

Thank You Ron !! Got it.. I was getting confused for bringing in "the day care facility" in between. Choice E is not attacking the lacuna in the day care facility. Rather it is giving a possible cause for the increase in the number of employees calling in sick during the sixth month of the...

Re: State lawmakers are considering

Hi Ron,

I have a doubt regarding the placement of the to+verb "...children.............to choose the parent......." in this question.

Isn't the to+verb written too far from children?

Is it always acceptable?

Please confirm.

Re:

Yeah, that works. This is also one of those problems where 'decoding' the statements by translating them into numbers works wonders: just sort through numbers by trial and error, and find the list of numbers that works for each statement.

Re: State lawmakers are considering

Hi RON,

I wanted to know whether "to+verb" separated by an essential modifier and written this far from the subject is always acceptable .

I would like to know more such usage of "to+verb"...

Thank you...

Re: GMATPREP CR: Driving the steep road to the mountaintop Inca

You are right Ron. I do try my best to create analogies , but find it difficult in most of the cases. Hope it will come naturally with practice. You are being humble here. You do deserve the credit for the explicit and unique explanations you always provide. In fact i have never seen any questions l...
