You have found a great CR question from the Veritas Prep Advanced Verbal Lesson. As a bonus I want to tell you about the statistics on this question. From what I have observed from hundreds of students choice E is just about as popular as the correct answer C. Of course there is one word that makes...

Hi Md Raihan Uddin, The post that you're asking about is almost 2 years old, so I'm not sure if you'll get much of a response from the original contributors. Here's the answer your question though: Your approach: cross-multiplying, forming a quadratic = to 0 and then factoring down….DOES work. Th...

This is so the conversation will focus on just one prompt and there will be less confusion than if there were multiple conversations about multiple prompts. Secondly, I'm curious if there's any missing notation in eithe...

Hi, Mike Why aren't we doing no 2 in the following way? t^2-1 = 2t-2 or t^2 -1 -2t +2 = 0 So, (t-1)^2=0 Now in this case t=1 is the answer. Why are we putting back the value of t in original question? So far I know, we have to check back equation only in case of Mod. So, why are we doing the same he...

I don't understand why the answer is not E . If like the guru said "driving and idling produce comparable amounts of exhaust" and the building damage is coming from tour bus exhaust, E is strengthening the argument that parking will help because there is currently limited parking (from pa...
