Low GMAT (660), high TOEFL, AWA, Good experience?
I took the GMAT last weekend and was pretty disappointed with 660 owing primarily to low verbal (32), when i took the GMAT last year i did significantly better in verbal (37) but was low on math. I have about 10 yrs. of experience here in the US working with big firms such as Cisco and Sun. I also r...

IMO D. So ...as to doesn't seem right, so ..that is right. Yes, offered them jobs would be better but offer them a job is fine as well. It may be slightly illogical but nothing wrong with it grammatically.
What's the OA

Yes B for me. Flatly is not an adverb. What do you mean flatly is not an adverb. It is an adverb. B is the correct option coz we need an adjective here as we'd like to describe clothes as being flat as opposed to packed (verb) as being flatly. The previous posts says flat is an adverb and flatly is...

inference is essentially a conclusion or a statement that is logically implied in the argument
D is essentially regurgitating the following statement
"as the corporation’s unbroken six-year record of growth will show...."
What is the inference here?

Letter from chairman
Below is an excerpt from a letter that was sent by the chairman of a corporation to the stockholders. A number of charges have been raised against me, some serious, some trivial. Individuals seeking to control the corporation for their own purposes have demanded my resignation. Remember that no cour...

IMO 4/5
Take each couple as a group and thus, there are 2X2X3! (3! ways to arrange 2 couples and a single and the 2X2 represents internal arrangement for each couple) ways to have the couples be together...
thus 5! - 2X2X3! = 96 ways to have them separate
thus 96/120 = 4/5

B and C IMO. B is pretty clear in the first one, posterity means future generation which is reflected in B. In the 2nd one, none of the options really stand out but C is the closest. A. Wrong because portrait of father (and that too in an unflattering light) is not a work of art :). Y would agree wi...

Got to be A. B is true but most certainly not author's main intention. Agree that "equally" in A is contentious but I would always (even at the cost of being wrong) pick the main theme that is somewhat expansive as against a trivial point that is probably true.

What is the source of these kind of questions? I don't understand the distinction in A and B or C and D, SC check grammar not your vocab.
Either way A (or B, although aggravated is not the right word here) should be the OA (possessive pronoun used with gerunds).

IMO C or E comes close to being right. A, B are wrong as they incorrectly use "their", it should be "them". D is just wrong because it is unidiomatic. Between C and E I go for E as i think C fails the idiomatic test IMO

Correct Answers: 1) B (Still, I don't understand how "whether A, B or C" can be correct. Don't you need a verb here? 2) D 3) D 4) D (Significantly different vs. Significant differences: I feel the meaning of these two are actually not exactly the same. And the original sentence used "...

IMO
B, D, D, D
Michelle,
B in first as "more likely....than" is the correct idiom. A has couple of antecedent problems..
I'll explain the other answer choices, once you confirm that they are all Ds.

I know that the OA is D and that were is required for the subjunctive. It'll be nice to get a specific answer to my question though.Bidisha800 wrote:if I were the president, I would have changed the monitory policy of this country.
