pavelbuet Posted May 1, 2006 Share Posted May 1, 2006 5.

Goldust Posted June 17, 2008 Share Posted June 17, 2008 I believe that answers are the same too i.e. A and A. I would really appreciate it if someone could appraise me of the quality of the Real 19 tests, from where these questions came. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rokxal Posted June 17, 2008 Share Posted June 17, 2008 I believe that answers are the same too i.e. A and A. I would really appreciate it if someone could appraise me of the quality of the Real 19 tests, from where these questions came. I also agree with with A,A as the correct answers. Btw, Appraise is to evaluate/estimate. I think you mean apprise which means to inform ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skawal Posted June 18, 2008 Share Posted June 18, 2008 for question 5 here indicates supporting signal because, it says, not for the.......................but for.............. which is closely similar to not only but also. so the blank pposition shoul fill by a positive word that is the interaction of the two.so in my opinion A should not be the ans. For the question no.6 please see carefully the word ironically.Its a very important word for the total sentence.so the first blank will be the opposite of the second blank. unlikely means, Has little chance of being the case or coming about. and appropriate means,Suitable for a particular person or place or condition etc. so the ans should be D.

Goldust Posted June 19, 2008 Share Posted June 19, 2008 i disagree with you skawal regarding both questions. is it a typo for question 5 when you say that A should NOT be the answer? for question 6, "ironically" does not refer to both blanks at all. It is ironical that the lack of theaters stymied further development, not that unlikely development resulted in actual development. For your answer to be correct, the sentence would have to be structured like this:- Because of its lack of theaters, the city came, to be viewed as an unlikely theater town, and ,ironically, that reputation led entrepreneurs to believe that it would be appropriate to build new theaters there.

madiyaan Posted May 2, 2009 Share Posted May 2, 2009 Hey, I just took this test myself. And I also put in A, A for those answers. I was really surprised to see D, E as the real answers from the key. I think 19 real GRE's answer key is off. I had a suspicion from test #1, but this has confirmed it. Does anyone else have any idea where the real answer key is? Also, what does anyone here recommend for tough verbal practice exams? Big Book? Barron's or what? Any replies would be appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lime Posted May 3, 2009 Share Posted May 3, 2009 Agree with both A and A. The OA seem not reliable to trust them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shah khan Posted May 4, 2009 Share Posted May 4, 2009 Choice (E) seems to work for question 6.For question 5, choice (D) fits well, i think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anietyx0 Posted June 18, 2011 Share Posted June 18, 2011 A,A here as well. I've been noticing some conspicuous flaws in the 19 real gre tests so take the "real" with a grain of salt... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
extraordinaire Posted June 18, 2011 Share Posted June 18, 2011 i think it's A,A too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shankhs Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 I think (D) for answer 6 comes by the following logic: Notice the word 'ironic' and "Theater town". "Theater town" means town known for theaters like "pink city" known for its buildings painted in pink color in other words pink buildings. Since there are no theaters, its unlikely that the town will be called "theater town" but "ironic" (means: something true but seems to contradict itself; or something thats false but seems to be true) stresses the fact that something contradictory happened, and the only contradiction that can happen here is creation of new theaters so the answer should contain (sort of) antonyms, so appropriate is the correct choice for second blank. Hope that helps. If you find any logical flaw in the argument please reply. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mycraze4u Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 Can anybody tell me what is wrong with "D.sensibly" for the question 5? It also seems to be fitting in. Please somebody clear my confusion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
