Hi mits86 , I'm really sorry about that! We've actually been winding down our Tuesday study groups, which is likely why your link didn't work on Tuesday.

Hey bkw , First off, it's great that you're working so concertedly to keep improving your GMAT score! I'd agree with Ron and others here that diving into a ton of new practice material might not be the best way to go.

Hi Mundasingh , You're right - the conclusion states that since marsupial lions' forelimbs were well developed, those lions must also have needed to climb into their mothers' pouches. One assumption here, as you point out, is that the forelimbs would not have been developed for some other purpose (l...
