GMAT6087 -Thanks very much!! That one is for the 12th edition and the one in the first posting is for the 13th.

Did you read my article on the direction of critical reasoning as shown through the changes from the 12th edition to the 13th edition?
The link is here... https://www.beatthegmat.com/mba/2012/03/ ... -reasoning

I will post the categories for 13 edition Reading Comp questions in a few hours. I do not like to post categories for Sentence Correction. This is because identifying the error is really at the heart of the process for sentence correction.
