Dont you think "it" in C points to wingspan rather than the Quetzalcoatlus?? You have to also consider the clarity of meaning! If 'It' were referring to the wingspan, then , if you read the entire sentence , it would mean that the wingspan is the largest flying creature the world has ever...

I think you're confusing yourself even more by trying to find faults within OG questions. Best advice in this thread so far!! Munda, rather than argue as to why the answer doesn't make sense to you , try to understand why it is correct!!! This is a question that has shown up on a past GMAT and, res...

I am taking the test again and am giving the benefit of the doubt to GMAC but hearing other's voice similar complaints is food for thought. On the last 6 practice tests that ...
