  1. D is wordy and rate of failing is unidiomatic. Hence E. While does not need parallel construct.
  2. I think D is absolutely wrong...what does "those" point to? Here we are not trying to say that the genes give u a advantage...here the individuals are compared. IMO B. OA can be wrong!
  3. In A "but the coin" totall y dissociates the sentence. Where did "coin" come from? Here you need the context that the dollars were minted as coins and the coins proved unpopular...B seems to closely explain the sentence completely. Whats the OA?
  4. I think E. Whats the OA? parallelism! A is incorrect because they are talking about buying many companies. Hence the possesive form shud be like companies' and not company's (single company)
  5. I think its E. Case1: x,y,z > 1 x>y>z Case2: x,y,z yz and y>x or y then either z>y>x or x> z> y Hence all 3 are possible...
  6. D. You dont need those conditions...u can solve it straighawy from the given clause.
  7. Not convinced with ur explanation! Though C can be reached by POE. There is a more subtle reason for C to be the answer...Let people come with explanations!
  8. The reason much refrigerated food spoils is that it ends up out of sight at the back of the shelf. So why not have round shelves that rotate? Because such rotating shelves would have just the same sort of drawback, since things would fall off the shelves’ edges into the rear corners. Which of the following is presupposed in the argument against introducing rotating shelves? (A) Refrigerators would not be made so that their interior space is cylindrical. (B) Refrigerators would not be made to have a window in front for easy viewing of their contents without opening the door. © The problem of spoilage of refrigerated food is not amenable to any solution based on design changes. (D) Refrigerators are so well designed that there are bound to be drawbacks to any design change. (E) Rotating shelves would be designed to rotate only while the refrigerator door was open.
  9. A severe drought can actually lessen the total amount of government aid that United States farmers receive as a group. The government pays farmers the amount, if any, by which the market price at which crops are actually sold falls short of a preset target price per bushel for the crops. The drought of 1983, for example, caused farm-program payments to drop by $10 billion. Given the information above, which of the following, if true, best explains why the drought of 1983 resulted in a reduction in farm-program payments? (A) Prior to the drought of 1983, the government raised the target price for crops in order to aid farmers in reducing their debt loads. (B) Due to the drought of 1983, United States farmers exported less food in 1983 than in the preceding year. © Due to the drought of 1983, United States farmers had smaller harvests and thus received a higher market price for the 1983 crop than for the larger crop of the preceding year. (D) Due to the drought of 1983, United States farmers planned to plant smaller crops in 1984 than they had in 1983. (E) Despite the drought of 1983, retail prices for food did not increase significantly between 1982 and 1983.
  10. "What" when used without a antecedent it means "That Which"...Then why the difference?
  11. Bringing the Ford Motor Company back from the verge of bankruptcy shortly after the Second World War was a special governmentally sanctioned price increase during a period of wage and price controls. (A) Bringing the Ford Motor Company back from the verge of bankruptcy shortly after the Second World War was a special governmentally sanctioned price increase during a period of wage and price controls. (B) What brought the Ford Motor Company back from the verge of bankruptcy shortly after the Second World War was a special price increase that the government sanctioned during a period of wage and price controls. © That which brought the ford Motor Company back from the verge of bankruptcy shortly after the Second World War was a special governmentally sanctioned price increase during a period of wage and price controls. (D) What has brought the Ford Motor Company back from the verge of bankruptcy shortly after the Second World War was a special price increase that the government sanctioned during a period of wages and price controls. (E) To bring the Ford Motor Company back from the verge of bankruptcy shortly after the Second World War, there was a special price increase during a period of wages and price controls that government sanctioned.
  12. I think its B. we need "belong to" hence B and C are left we also need "about 7000 years" and finally "tending" is wrong. reindeer's tendency is compared to caribou tending... Hence C is out of the game, leaving only B!
