Hi, I guess the prolem here is you just assume "x" and "y" in the points (3,y) and (x,4) the same with "x" and "y" in the line y= 2x. Just let a and b substitute for x and y in the two points: (3,b) and (a,4). Note that this is nothing different than the two p...

You really through some light here.

If we add "also" into C, it will become a perfect answer. Without "also", it seems a little odd. But as you say, there's some time exception.

My cocern is the same as yours, what's is wrong with E?

My simple thinking is that: Martha has 9 different animals Two places to go Thus she has 9 x 2 options of walking with one animal to a single place . GMAT does have some simple question. I usually get math score of 50 but sometimes end up doing some simple questions at the end of my math section (in...

IMO: D If x (with x is not zero)is the reciprocal of y, then x*y = 1 A: x / (1/y) = x * (y/1) = x*y = 1 --> eliminate B: (1/x) / y = 1/(x*y) = 1/1 = 1 --> eliminate C: (1/y) / x = 1/(y*x) = 1/1 = 1 --> eliminate E: y/ (1/x) = y* (x/1) = x*y = 1 --> eliminate D remains as the correct answer choice. D...

IMO E A: Not only is put before the verb to be "were" . This sounds weird to me. Correct: He is not only a teacher but also a doctor. or He is not only a teacher but he can also cure illnesses. Never have I heard before: He not only is a teacher but also a doctor. or I not only am a studen...

The word "encounter" seems not work for me. If we say: One of the biggest difficulties encountering our economy is high unemployment rate. In the above sentence, the phrase difficulties encountering our economy implies difficulties is the subject that act upon our economy. But how come? It...

Thanks both Avik.ch and VivianKerr.

GMAT Simulator CATs are among the CATs provided by Veritas.
