Thanks Marty, I went back to dissect the argument and reattempt the question.

Option B was my initial answer, but I re...

B) A synthesized, inexpensive substitute for the fish oil obtained from Orintok has not been well receiv...

I approached this question as I would a Boldface CR question. The conclusion is that "Overall interest in reading has steadily declined" The Internet Geek doesn't dispute the conclusion; rather, he provides additional information to explain the drop. The Literary Scholar doesn't dispute th...

A shallow/surface-level understanding would probably suffice in answering the easy questions, whereas a d...

Thank you for your thorough analysis of my recent results. I agree that my ability has been around the high 500s, and I've been working fervently to improve it since my last official attempt. I did get the ESR from the exams, and have sent them to you in a private message.

I've been studying for the GMAT for a while, and the Critical Reasoning section has proven to be a hard nut to crack. Lately I've gone all the way back to the basics, to measure my understanding of CR fundamentals. I found that I usually do well (90+% accuracy) in the easy difficulty questions, but ...
