Let’s say JK = x, KL = y and LM = z.
To answer the question we need to find y.
Using 1: x + y = 21 cant calculate y.
Using 2: y + z = 26 cant calculate y.
Using both the statements together we still cant compute as we have three variables and only two equations.

I am not sure if I understood the question correctly. It says K has exactly two +ve prime factors 3 and 7. It has 6 factors in all including 1 and K.
Doesn't this interpret to the 6 factors being 1, 3, 7, _ , _ and K.
If we look at the question this way the answer would be E.

Answer is A. Since the two given sides (PS and QR) are parallel and equal the other two sides have to be parallel and equal to form a quadilateral.

I feel E is correct.
D is incorrect since it uses the word "every". The stimuli gives you no indication that if the receptor was perfect then every possible permutation of a spoken language’s basic language sounds can be an understandable word.

Andrew, I have been reading Kaplan and other resources on the web which say read the question, than passage, identify evidence and conclusion, guess the answer and than look for the answer in the choices. It sounds simple on paper but in actuality hard to implement in the time given.

I think B is the answer.
The prediction: stock market will fall. Second statement supports this prediction. First statement is a cause and affect which has been believed to be true in the past.

Hello everybody... I have recently started preparing for GMAT. I have found myself comfortable with the Quant but lacking quite a bit in Verbal. I know I will be able to improve in Quant section with more practice. But Verbal just scares me. I have been honing my CR skills over the past few days but...
