Never mind. After revisiting her post, I now notice that she miscalculated the new proportion of K.

But Sapana's example is one that makes E not true. In her example, K's population increased by a percentage greater than that of the two other regions. So, since she found one example where E is not true, does that mean we can rule that out as well?

Michaels, Also, I need to point out that you're wrong regarding The number/A number. The number is singular :The number of students is increasing. A number is plural: A number of students are standing outside. And majority in and of itself is singular, but I guess when majority refers to a set of pe...

Michaels,

So what, then, is the correct answer to the original sentence?

A majority of citizens are against the bill OR A majority of citizens is against the bill

Still confused. Can you explain your rule with the following sentence?

page 62, 12: A group of students believes that the park should be cleaned. (believes/believe)

Or does the rule not come into play, because we are talking are talking about this entire group (as opposed to a portion of it)?

2nd Subject-Verb Agreement Question

Another question in the Aristotle SC Grail 3rd edition seems wrong to me. Page. 62, Number 16: Through the toll plaza cross/crosses thousands of cars everyday. They posit the correct sentence reads: Through the toll plaza crosses thousands of cars everyday. ?? This is an inverted sentence with the v...

GMAT vs GRE (Harvard, Stanford, etc.)

Does anyone know if the top business schools actually favor a GMAT score over a GRE score? I know they say they will take either one, and that the tests don't have preference over one another, but psychologically I feel as though a GMAT score of 700 would seem better than a GRE 700. And if this is t...

Alex, I appreciate the prompt reply. Regarding my "rush," well, to be admitted to HBS 2015, the latest on can apply is April of 2013! Additionally, not having a series regular or feature film credit certainly doesn't discount the amount of work one has had to do. I would hope that effort, ...
