Hi everyone,

One of my books recommends that we eliminate all answers with extreme words such as must, only, all, always, never ...

Should I follow the advise literally or should I use it with care ?

Thanks

If U left with 5-6 questions and 40 sec in total or can't get the meaning at all then use it, otherwise question everything.

IMO sometimes answers with extreme words may be correct as long as there is direct support for this in the passage/argument i.e extreme words are also present in the argument.


From what I have seen a GMAT argument rarely contains extreme words and hence the book might have said thes answers are always incorrect.


Hope this helps!

Regards,
CR
