It is great that they stayed on with you on the Veritas helpline to explore this question in depth! Here is my take: Choice B is a clear path to avoiding birth control until having a male child, at which point the program may have already failed to curb population growth. We all agree this goes to ...

You have a six-sided cube and six cans of paint, each a different color. You may not mix colors of paint. How many distinct ways can you paint the cube using a different color for each side? (If you can reorient a cube to look like another cube, then the two cubes are not distinct.) (A) 24 (B) 30 (...

I should also mention that MGMAT has the best explanation for their questions. The worst is PrincetonReview. Knewton has great verbal explanations, but their quant explanations, while detailed, aren't as easy to digest as that of MGMAT. Knewton will often recommend approaches that are very academic ...

I have bought both MGMAT and Veritas courses, on top of Knewton, PR, and Kaplan. So, I have taken all and am taking all of their CATs. It cost me quite a bit of money because none of them sells CATs alone, and when I bought MGMAT they weren't selling CATs as a standalone product yet. It's hard to sa...

The answer is B, folks. I had selected A as well because I didn't think "which" in B clearly referred to the efforts of investigators but the test maker of Veritas apparently believes it does. Does anyone know a good source on how "which" is used? Choice C is eliminated for the w...

Everyone seems to like B. So, why do you guys think A is wrong? Couldn't one say that A also prevents people from using birth control, at all? In B, the rationale goes that once a parent produces a child, s/he then will potentially start using birth control. In A, given the parent's preference for a...

As per the rules of grammar, answer D is perfectly okay. the pronoun it in answer D has one and only one logical antecedent, and that is honey. Just try to swap all other possible antecedents for it, the sentence would just not make sense. Half Argentina can't go to US ( maybe half Argentina's popu...

I agree. This question came from one of Veritas's CATs. So far, I have taken two and I have not only found spelling errors but also grammatical errors in some of their verbal questions. I was pretty surprised by the big difference in terms of quality between their books and their CAT questions. But,...

yup I also feel that the use of "due to" in A option is not correct because if we replace it with "caused by" then the sentence doesn't make any sense...........I found a SC almost similar to the one in 1000 SC Building large new hospitals in the bistate area would constitute a ...

I agree.Frankenstein wrote:Due to means "caused by". It should only be used if it can be substituted with "caused by". So, I don't think it is correct to use "due to" in this sentence. Expert comments on this, would be appreciated.
