is there a shortcut for Work/Rate Data Sufficiency problems?
I know for triangles there are shortcuts so that you know if a statement is sufficient or not.
Thanks!

Dear experts,

is in the the last sentence not the word "it" missing? When I read E I thought half of what???
And is A only wrong because of the word "such"? (cause the idiom seems correct: so X...that Y...)

Thanks!

Arpita,
choice E confuses me a little cause "In two letters to the historian Tacitus" modifies the nephew. How can this modify a person? (it rather modifies how something happens)
Thanks!

Bill,

I know E is wrong because of the parallelism error but I thought there is a second error. Isn't E redundant as well? => ...and...too,...

Testluv,

how do I know that I have to choose 3/4? I tested numbers and I chose 2 (Integer) and 1/2 ( Non-Integer) and I got therefore B. So what is your key to pick the right numbers?

Thanks!

Sandeep,

thanks for the explanation, but why do you assume that "between 1990 and 2000" is the same as "since 1990" ?

Thanks

Hi guys,

I chose E but for another reason: ordered is like a bossy verb, and after a bossy verb you have to write either ..."to prepare" or "that...prepare".
Am I wrong with this approach?

Thanks!
