Veritas-Slash and Burn technique

Veritas GMAT SC

The quality of the new products that ACME Corporation have developed over the past year and that have arrived on retailers' shelves worry many business analysts,who think that the company has lost focus under the new CEO's leadership.

The best I can do with the above sentence is to cut of the "of the new products" because its lead by the preposition and "who think...leadership" because the MGMAT guide says that Subordinate clauses too need to get cut.

I fail to understand the Slash and Burn technique the way its given in the book,its an extremely useful technique and I wouldnt want to let go.Could you please explain how I could understand the slashing better?Even if I start asking questions like "What kind" "How" "When" "Why" I fail to make an analysis of what needs to go,and what needs to stay.

Please explain the same.

Thanks

Dan

Hi dddanny2006,

You might consider posting this in the Veritas sub-Forum (on this site). You'll likely receive a direct response from one of that company's reps.
