I don't understand why D can be the correct answer, it makes sense to me that A is the correct one.
D changes the meaning of the sentece, doesn't it?

It's better to avoid when possible the use of to be in GMAT answers, also, claims to be is not the right grammar, it just a american expression, and it is normally penalized by the test makers. As you read the books you will find that authors strongly advise you to avoid the use of to be as well as ...

I think C is the correct answer because it mentions the Merging of companies which the argument relates as to purchsaing competitors as its option and this gives the weakening evidence of Mergers having proved not being a productive option in the past.

I was between D and E, ened up picking D, even though where it says as long as put some doubt on me.
E was a good one but weighing was the turn off it is in the wrong tense..

who went to sleep? one of the kids? or another person
I think it is a missplaced modifier, it probably should go like this:
He slept like a log, after the kids went to sleep.
not sure though

I will say A it seems more logical since we are talking about weakening the argument, this one definitively does the job!
I hope I am right because I have missed the previous ones, are this the "hard" type of CR questions? because if not I am toasted!

maybe if we find x first?
if we have:
22X+24Y=160
can we find the value for X and then substitute in the ecuation?
22x=160-24y
x=160-24y/22
22(160-24y/22)=160
and from here find the value of y and substitute in the ecuation?
would that work? any comments about my aproach?

What should be a good balance of topics to keep them fresh?
In my previous attempt I did really bad on the GMAT, so I am trying to figure out a good strategy of study, the problem that I find is that if I go a week without reading verbal stuff or doing a DS problem I tend to forget about a few steps or formulas. Should I take maybe 2 hours verbal and 1 hour ...
