Good call, ssmiles08. I thought it was D until I read what you said about K being 2 or 3. I now am 100% behind ssmiles08's answer.

Oh man, this is a hard one... Is it A? Here's my reasoning, let me know if it's shotty. A: No way, there must be more days because the "Light" and "Moderate" are both lower. B: Can't be the same, they said 1990 was less. C: Can't be higher, they said 1990 was less. D: Total numbe...

That's tricky. I guessed C until I read the OA. All cows are lions and all lions are goats. all cows are goats. But that does not mean all goats are cows. If there are 100 cows, then there are 100 lions and then there are 100 goats. But if there's 103 goats, then only 100 cows are goats, but there a...

"when they were children." is a subordinate clause. Because of the subordinate clause, "they" has to reference the young men and women again in order to have a subject. I can only see "they" referring to the young men and women. There's no other nouns "they" c...

I am going to say Answer B.
I counted in my head.
10 triangles using F.
5 triangles without F.
I'm interested in seeing how to solve this in a more efficient manner.

I picked C before I read the other posts and now I understand why D is the best answer. I know why to rule out A and B. The first does not support the overall position, but now I understand that the historians are not defending it either, which is why C is wrong. Scoobydooby explains it well why D s...

Since I don't know the OA, I'm going to assume it's A. This is a rough one, but even I have my doubts on A. A: Everything looks right with this, but the "had remained" part makes me question if it is right, but it seems to be since the simple past tense was used for 1989 so it makes sense ...

I got the same thing.
Trees = 100
20%(100) = 20 Evergreens
80 trees left.
40%(100-20) = 32 Maple
75%(32) = 24 Oak
100-20-32-24= 24 other trees

This is how I did the problem. Case A: 150/725 (real number) Case B: 2/3 (ratio) Combined: (150 + 2x) / (725 + 3x) = 3/5 The reason for the x is because case B is a ratio and we don't know what the real number is. Now we cross multiply: 3(720 + 3x) = 5(150 + 2x) 2175 + 9x = 750 + 10x 1425 = x 2x + 3...

Data 1: I could only find two different answers for it - 2x3x5 and 5x6x1. So I put Insufficient. Data 2 - I found a couple, 7+3+0, 6+4+0 3+3+4 and 2+3+5. Enough answers for me to realize it is Insufficient. Then when I did both, I found 2+3+5 is the only one for Data 1 and Data 2 and the numbers cou...

I think it is C. Which (referring to the plural "coolness of judgment and mutability of purpose...") were in fact natural outgrowths (plural) of it.
OA?

This is how I solved it: Class A Range = r Greatest Height = g Class B Range = s Greatest Height = h Data 1: r<s. The range for Class A is less than the range for class B. This is insufficient because we it doesn't tell us anything about the least height of the students. Data 2: g>h. The greatest he...
