I do and there were a few answers that made me feel the same way. But it's probably more beneficial for you to dismiss these "exceptions" than to actually factor them into your thought process. Btw, I just realized that my example was horrible, and clearly it does not apply to the issue be...

I understand your approach is to understand why certain answers are correct, but I would be very careful venturing down this path. I think you're better off following a rule than to look for possible exceptions. What you will likely end up doing is doubting yourself in various spots without merit, a...

Of course I read it, but what redemption are you talking about? Jim is saying that this usage might or might not conflict with other English rules, and the usage could be justified, but he does not recall another instance of such usage in other parts of OG to confirm if this is indeed an acceptable ...

I didn't flip the entire sentence, I was showing you how the subordinate clause can be used to modify the nearest noun. In my example: "Acting like a fool, John was caught between two closely parked cars." The main verb of the sentence is "was caught," and "acting like a foo...

I may not even be using this example correctly, so take it for what it's worth. For example: "Acting like a fool, John was caught between two closely parked cars." "Acting like a fool" is modifying John, the closest noun to the modifier. In this question, we can move the subordin...

I am probably wrong on this, but isn't the context of this sentence using "absorbing" as participle and it is modifying the preceding noun, buffer, as oppose to an adverb modifier? An-ing Modifer is also a participle modifier . Participle Modifiers can also be Adverb Modifers There is a c...

There are two types of articles, definite and indefinite. Definite article, the, is used to describe a specific item: "I don't want just any chair, I want the chair!" Indefinite articles, a and an, are used to describe any item of the same property: "Just find me a chair, I need to si...

We need the present perfect tense here i.e has been indicted. That leaves us between B & C. C is more apt with "has been indicted by " & hence answer is C. I strongly recommend you to dig deeper than saying that present perfect tense is needed. I would ask the following questions:...

They say practice makes perfect. I would also recommend picking up a copy of the Powerscore CR Bible, which goes over every type of CR questions in GMAT, as well as what to look for in correct and incorrect answers. You're also right that most CR questions should not take more than 2 minutes. Timing...
