C is the answer because the Student rep is only saying that the student should not have been expelled. But the Dean is taking this to mean that the university should ENDORSE verbal harassment. "Not expelling" is NOT equal to "endorsing".

In GMAT, seek out what the author is trying to say, rather than what you think should be said. I guess my main query is how to determine A -> B or B -> A based on the language in the paragraph. Use the language the author has used as a clue. Understand what he has said. Has he said "If inspired...

Quite a difficult question. But after some thought (and an assumption that I have understood D correctly), I would also go with D B talks about "charitable giving", but does that necessarily explain the increase in contributions to opera houses? Not necessarily. It could only explain why O...

"A dozen fewer firms were over the limit, but their total pollution over the limit increased over the last year." If earlier, there were X number of firms who exceeded the limit, "A dozen fewer firms" = X-12. Thus, the revision is not needed. "Two more firms exceeded the lim...

As the blank is preceded by a "because", we need to look for something that will support the conclusion
"implementation of the plan would not necessarily reduce the amount of money going to Aroca County public schools"
