Re: Q7

The answer is E) uncertain, which is hard to ascertain unless you find this subtle mention in the last paragraph: "...similarly, she favoured planned economic development, but not at the expense of cultural identity." This would imply (to me), that she was cautious about economic developm...

Re: Q6 - When a nation is on

If you think I am still missing something I would definitely like to hear any your thoughts but as it stands I am having a hard time convincing myself that A is more reasonable than E - let alone being able to justify saying E is flat out wrong. Hi there, I'll take a stab (cognizant that you wrote ...

Re: PT 58, S2, Q27 Music, Emotion,--author agree with which?

(D) is supported by both passages. A: 21-27 B: 42-46 (yes, the mismatch) If you're missing this question, I get the sense you didn't really understand the passages. Try pausing at the end of paragraph and making sure you understand what you just read. Good luck! But the reason I didn't choose D is ...

Re: Q23 - This year a flood

Hi CecilyDr, I had trouble with this question too. Tornadoes + Floods don't need to be equivalent here to be relevant. As the first poster suggested, it's about time not about similarity of disasters (answer D notes "once a disaster has struck them").. Therefore, it doesn't matter whether ...

Re: Q18 - Until 1985 all commercial airlines

The above discussion hasn't addressed this point about (E). The answer choice states that it is a "two-hour commercial airline flight." The stimulus states that pre-1985 the air is replenished every 30 minutes and post-1985 the air is replenished every hour. The answer choice posits a sce...

Re: Q25 - Jordan: If a business invests

What type of question type is this? And are there other similar question types?

The traditional "parallel reasoning" tricks don't work.

Re: Q6 - A politician can neither be reelected

e. (E) This actually must be false . (Some) Scandal → ~Detection and ~Censure. Why would this have to be false? Because we know that IF you are involved in a scandal THEN you must absolutely be censured. This is, of course, also assuming that "scandalous conspiracies" = "scandal&qu...

Re: Q25 - Political commentator: Voters tend

I was debating between C and D... I used the negation test to choose the correct answer. When negated: (C) Candidate's visual image to evoke personal feelings NEVER increases as media exposure increases This ruins the argument because it contradicts any need for media exposure. [i](D) Candidates do ...

Re: Q2 - Advertisement: The pride the people at Austin

I got confused on this question and picked the wrong answer C when the correct answer is B. My premise: Barr Motor Company has a tradition of pride similar to horse racing. Conclusion: Barr Company can be relied on to produce more winning automobiles than its competitors. I didn't like answer choic...

Re: Q26

B is really far fetched for me for 2 reasons. first of all, it nowhere said it was claimed by the proponents, implied, sure. but claimed? It seems to suggest it has to be explicit. second of all, I have trouble seeing how is represent would be correct, the strength of the word just seems to be on t...

Re: Q18 - A recent magazine articles

I picked E at first, with doubt though, after review I can see why D is better. D is better b/c it's more directly related to the flaw of the argument, which is that the businesses who have purchased such equipment might not be those who do not own videoconferencing equipment mentioned by the said ...
