This one is definitely E.

For the second blank, you must find a negative word due to "unlike saccharin", eliminating A, B, and C.

For the first blank you need a negative word as well, and hence the answer is E.

I am getting frustrated. I missed this one too. I wonder what am I doing wrong. Maybe I need to read more carefully. Originally I went with A for some odd reason. I guess "ideal for baking" sounded good.

E is correct.

dude I suggest u take a break frm all this, coz I know doing this regularly also has detrimental effects.

it happened to me as well and I took a break of a day and then I got my rhythm back.

Its all in rhythm coz I believe all these SC's have a pattern tht one unconciously notice after starting solving them.

True.... I'm taking a whole day break tomorrow (saturday) and enjoy the nice weather. On Sunday and Monday, I'll study but not too much so that I don't get there on tuesday exhausted. Take it easy Psyoutlaw! We'll all do great...

Thanks for your words of encouragement Vinay & Wood. We will all indeed do well on this exam. Once I complete my exam, I will have a huge burden off of my shoulder. I can then focus on my goal at hand gaining admission into a Psych program.
