Totally agree with anshulseth. Since the stem talks about cost, the assumption should hit the cost. Option C says that the country would buy if the cost was lower. This covers cost and all the other factors. Regarding the option B: Let's assume that the quality was good. Then? If there are certain i...

Guys, my 2 cents on this. You will force your mind to burn-out if you set targets like these. Don't set your targets in terms of number of questions to be done or scores. Little pressure is good but too much can harm you. maihunna is not completely wrong. If you are planning to spend long hours (or ...

I took the first GMATPrep and then did the first one again. Very few questions were repeated. Then I took the second test and none of the questions were repeated from the first test. I was delighted - It's really helpful in verbal. I am planning to take the second test again 2-3 days before the actu...

Correct - It distorts the meaning. The original sentence implies that the papers were important "being" body of work in political science. In other words, the property of the papers that they were "body of work in Political science", makes them important. Option D means that thei...
