thanks, I think that you must have a reason to use backward. As far as I know, not using a backward structure will help a sentence to be more clearer. And one purpose of SC section is to choose a choice that is clear and concise.

Why inverse subj. & verb

Hi, I saw a sentence recently that used the backward structure. Can someone, please, explain why it used backward form? An array of tax incentives has led to a boom in the construction of new office buildings; so abundant has capital been for commercial real estate that investors regularly scour the...

if rs isn't 0, is (1/r)+(1/s)=4 1)r+s=4rs 2)r=s Target question: Is 1/r + 1/s = 4? This one is a great candidate for rephrasing the target question Let's add 1/r + 1/s to create one rational expression. Find common denominator: s/rs + r/rs Add numerators: (s+r)/rs So, 1/r + 1/s = (s+r)/rs So, rathe...

st2: r=s if r = s = 1 , 1/r + 1/s = 2 (not 4) but if r = s = 1/2 , them 1/r + 1/s = 4 hence insufficient and when you put r = s in the original equation it solves r = s = 1/2 but that does not mean r = s are actually 1/2 each. r and s could assume many other values and the only restriction is that ...

Fraction-Please help me with my logic

if rs isn't 0, is (1/r)+(1/s)=4 1)r+s=4rs 2)r=s I think it's a simple problem. I wonder, why statement 2 is insufficient? When I plug statement 2 into the original equation, the only answer it gives me is r=s=1/2 and the equation will be correct, so why statement 2 is insufficient? Please explain me...

IMO, Choice B is incorrect because the prompt is talking about industries that have enrolled employees and those which haven't. Also the executive is talking about years after 2005. So I eliminate choice B.

IMO, the correct answer is A.
What is the OA? And please provide the OA explanation.

Option B is incorrect because there is NO inconsistency in Anne's statements. She says that no comet has ever been observed to flare so far from the sun before (which is true)and so this event must be highly unusual.(which is her conclusion) The statements she makes do not contradict each other at ...

If the airspace around centrally located airport were restricted to commercial airlines and only those private equipped with radar, most of the private-plane traffic would be forced to use outlying airfields. Such a reduction in the amount of private-plane traffic would reduce the risk of midair co...

Why A cant b answer? You must focus on the claim in the first sentence. In this sentence, the author concern isn't about how much airports are convenient for pilots, instead he or she mostly worries about decreasing the airspace traffic at central airports. You most STRICTLY be loyal with the promp...

Halley's Comet

Anne: Halley's Comet now in part of its orbit relatively far from the Sun, recently flared brightly enough to be seen by telescope. No comet has ever been observed to flare so far from the sun before, so such a flare must be highly unusual. Sue: Nonsense. Usually no one bothers to try to observe com...
