Yes!! These questions have a fairly decent chance of appearing on the GMAT.

Infact i came across 2 SD questions on the gmat both on similar lines as the above question!!

anyways, all the best for your apps! just curious, which schools are you targeting?

hey DanaJ thanks for that prompt response! And as you guessed it, i am a non-native speaker.. I want to add at least 30-50 points to my present score so that i stand competent among the people with whom i will be grouped.

are the 1000 SC and 1000 RC series any good?

Can somebody confirm whether the 1000 RC and SC series reflect gmat-styled questions?
I have exhausted the material in all OGs, Kaplan 800,Kaplan Premier , Princeton etc and hence looking for a good source of questions for the verbal session.

a correct idiom with agreement will be - I am in agreement with your idea.

sadly idioms do not follow any set rules.. they are the way they are...

Is there any reason as to why 'i prefer his advice' is correct and 'i prefer to his advice' wrong ?

To get a grasp of idioms , make a note of any new one you come across and revise it regularly!!
