I would second that A weakens the conclusion the most. If there was another entrance to the cage that wasn't blocked until 1000 later, then it is impossible to properly identify the date of the paintings. Therefore, the Conclusion is weakened. The answer choice E states that identification was "...

But, x absolute could equal y absolute with any integer (one is obviously negative), say 3 and -3, 4 and -4. From (2) we can not infer the answer. (Look at your numbers! In each case they add up to zero.) Now X^Y=4 (I hope you understood that ^ means degree, sorry I don't know how to put symbols in...

my answer is D (1) the only pair of x,y such that y>x and x^y=4, is x=-2, y=2, -2+2=0 suff (2)|x|=|y| if x>0 and y>0 then x=y but according to the problem y>x not possible if x<0 and y>0 then -x=y and we can find the sum x+(-x)=0 if x>0 and y<0 then x>y not possible if x<0 and y<0 then -x=-y x=y ag...

weird question from private tutor)
if x and y are integers and x<y, what is the value of x+y?
1. x^y=4
2. x absolute = y absolute
it seems weird as obviously the only y that there is not Y which is less than X that satisfies either/both 1 and 2.....
what is your advise?

I saw this question yesterday on Grockit. I chose E, which turned to be the correct answer. My grounding for E was that it's the only choice that correctly (from my point of view) defines THE FIGHT and not the Speed Limit to be a problem....maybe I was just lucky, because after looking through the o...

D looks like the right answer - it clearly and logically explains the Fight is regarded this and that. Unlike A, which basically has the same meaning, D is more straightforward.
Will the author provide us with the right answer anyway?
