Hi, Thanks for explanation. But I am still worried how to distinguish such differences. Some of the times I have ruled out options based on this type of sentence construction (living things are not supposed to act type) and almost all time I got them right. Now it's again confusing which rule takes ...

Thanks Brent, My problem was only understanding 2nd statement. It's kinda confusing if read separately. Although, we should not consider 1st statement while reading 2nd, for this particular question it is somehow happening. If you consider 2nd statement independently, suppose 3 sides of length a,b,c...

if we simplify (n!+n+1)/(n+1) we need to find remainder of this term n!/(n+1) coz remainder of (n+1)/(n+1) is 0. as n>5, a. n+2 is prime --> n is definitely odd n!/n+1 will have remainder 0. (n=9,11,15..) Sufficient b. n-2 is prime --> n is again definitely odd n!/n+1 will have remainder 0. (n=7,9,1...

I think D is the answer.

D is only choice where landfills are not supposed to act (of prohibiting) and landfills are not supposed to prohibit as they are not living thing.

Can you please post the source of question. It doesn't seem to be real GMAT question.

Hi,
One doubt related to this type.

A number of .. is plural whereas
The number of.. is singular..

[As given in Manhatten SC guide/chapter 3/page 46]
Isn't the similar rule applicable for this questions? OR a/the number is special type of sc questions?

Just want to confirm whether it is the same in actual exam or do we just need to start new paragraph on next lin...
