The effect of the advanced full-year calendars prepared by the North American Indians is not known from the sentence to be present now. So the thing is past and hence we may not use "have developed" in the sentence. 'evidence of' and 'evidence that', both are correct but we should be wary ...

My thinking went like this Structure of the argument: TE (childhood) made a vow. without that vow the invention of the machines would not have been possible. So in effect the argument says vow caused invention. This is apparently ignoring a lot of other reasons for the invention. So, the flaw in the...

This is a method of reasoning question. This calls for a very keen observation of each and every word of the answer options. Stimulus: Journalistic practice of fabrication -- decried on the grounds that it is unfair misrepresentation. But actual remarks seldom convey the idea as do distillation. So ...

I think there is one more hint. Option C mentions the most popular programs and the program in this case might/might not be the most popular program of the television network. It was mentioned in the Connie's argument that it is her favorite program which by no means makes it necessarily the most po...

In this question we are more concerned about the treatment of Puma, by Drug A and Drug B. and PC, in the stimulus says Drug A treats 1/2 while Drug B treats 1/3 to support the claim that Drug A is better. When we refute this claim we will inevitably look at the presence of evidence which proves that...

To me, as stated by mj78ind, 'a practice...' seems to modify the verb 'sketch', and so is an adverbial modifier. Though it is preferable for an adverbial modifier to lie close to the verb that it modifies, it is not necessary that it should accompany the verb.
Please correct me if I'm wrong

I agree with paes, still continuing is redundant. And looked at in the context of the sentence, part1-Fox hunting continues overseas. part2-Fox hunting is outlawed in England. part3-Fox hunting could be brought in by the new party. "Though" introduces contrast. part2 is in contrast with pa...

My first option was B, but each other is a bit suspicious (though it is generally used colloquially) so I went for C rather.
OA Please.

I have read some where in the BTG posts that the comparison with the usage of the relative pronouns,that/those/the one etc., has some rules to follow. 1. The structure must be the exact same. 2. There must not be a tense mismatch. 3. The comparison must be sensible. Though we use these rules to filt...

This is a conclusion or main point question which demands the gist of the passage. In other words it is a must be true question which features the conclusion of the stimulus. B is general for the usage of the word "Health Care" which is very broad in the current sense. Here we are discussi...

I have a doubt. We have two independent clauses and three incidents happening in the sentence, 1. mocking 2. boast becoming a reality 3. passage of 20 years Now according to Eli's explanation, we are considering only the second clause of the sentence and the happenings in that clause. Why is this so...

eliminated A,D,E for the same reasons as stated above.
In B, we are talking about health care which is much broader in scope and does not represent the one in the stimulus (medical training technology)
So My Pick C
