As per the rules of grammar, answer D is perfectly okay. the pronoun it in answer D has one and only one logical antecedent, and that is honey. Just try to swap all other possible antecedents for it, the sentence would just not make sense. Half Argentina can't go to US ( maybe half Argentina's popul...

By that I meant the person who performing the action described in participle "Looking through the expensive binoculars" should touch it , that is, should come immediately after the comma. Logically, a hiker, a wild life activist, or any other person would look through a binoculars. Using ...

Orginal sentence : Looking through the expensive binoculars , the turkey vulture appeared to be the size of a robin. (A) Since the object being modified by the participle phrase (when in the beginning of the sentence) must follow the participle phrase ( which is not the case in A), we can eliminate...

Do NOT do these early questions in the early stages.You will be frustrated[You will get 5-6 out of 10 wrong].This will lead you nowhere.Once you have exhausted all the OG stuff,only then do these LSAT questions. I did these questions in last 15-20 days of my prep.I think I did CR [50 from each secti...

You guys are bang on. While taking GMAT I got extremely hard quant questions after 20th question [as hard as 700-800 MGMAT CAT] questions back to back.I guessed 3-4 questions at random [as a strategy to not screw up in the end],but even then I kept on getting insanely hard questions.It felt like I w...

I should probably be demanding damages from GMAC for that inexplicable score,for I missed the deadlines of a couple of schools.Because of Pearson's [not GMAC's] crappy software I can't apply to some of the favorite B-schools. Everybody knows that the schools to which I can apply with a score of 650 ...

You guys didn't wanna agree with me. See I got a 720 the real deal today,with a 40 on verbal.This was the verbal score I used to get in practice tests.The GMAC's algorithm was CERTAINLY SCREWED between 15th October and 25th November. And guess what it still is screwed,but now in terms of calculating...

Just got back from test center. Scored 720 (Q49 V40) The quant was reallllly tough.I would say it was on par with MGMAT quant! Super wordy questions with crazy calculations.On one of the questions I had to scroll my screen! Verbal was a breeze after doing CR and RC from LSATs.Too bad I didn't start ...

So, this is a trigonometry question. This question,therefore,is irrelevant ,according to me,as far as GMAT is considered unless someone shows another way to prove why A is sufficient.
