I don't find GMAT flavor in this question. I have been studying OG's (OG10, OG11, OG12, and OG Review) and GMATPREP questions for more than two months. I don't find the pattern that has been used in those official stuffs.

Maybe there are some patterns, but I don't get them.


Teachers from knewton, please explain.

Thanks.
