Can someone please explain me what the antecedent of "it" is in "made it possible"?

Ex: "X & Y have built a house and, despite all adverse factors, have made it possible for others to live there."

Thank you.

Hi Vaivish,

Do you feel that real GMAT questions were too difficult to solve and were quite different from MGMAT or GMATPrerp? Were you able to solve all verbal questions in time or made some guesses?

Thanks.

Thank you guys!

Now I understand it. So far, I experienced that in weakening you can bring in new information to weaken the conclusion but to weaken the assumption, you need to refute it. I think the key work IS "indispensable".

Thanks guys!

Congrats!

700 is a decent score but if you think you deserve better than go for it!

If you share more info about what you studied, especially in verbal, and how you were scoring in different areas (CR,SC,RC) in different tests then it will definitely be easier to comment.

Again congrats!

presence of resistant bacteria

Since the routine use of antibiotics can give rise to resistant bacteria capable of surviving antibiotic environments, the presence of resistant bacteria in people could be due to the human use of prescription antibiotics.

is E grammatically correct?

Lets assume the sentence is
"Installed and operated so secretly in the Kennedy Oval Office was a recording system that was used by XYZ."

Is this sentence correct? I guess No!

It depends upon the question. If the argument is developing causal relationships then it will become a "weaken" question.
