My answer is A. Assumption : In estimating the time and occurence of a seige, pottery materials dug out at certain depths will provide good evidence. Weaken : The pottery materials could have accidentally fallen to these depths by collapsed burrows.In such a case, the actual time estimated using the pottery evidence cannot be true.

My answer is A. It's the "use" that can be grounds for not hiring and not the "drug" itself. Choice D makes a subject-verb mistake.

I guess you are missing an apostrophe - children's (or) childrens' - in either of the choices.Please check the quotations.

My answer is A. The problem with choice C is that anything could be interpreted such as "depicted on the tops of hills in films..." whereas the actual meaning is that "coyotes are depicted in films as..." Moreover choice C is in passive voice, which makes it less preferable to choice A, which is in active.

My answer is A. "attempt to ratify" is the correct idiom.Choice E tries to separate the verb from the subject by introducing an essential clause.

My answer is B. A. his translation of the Iliad, a work that, taking him seven years until completion, and that literary critic Samuel Johnson, Pope’s contemporary, pronounced B. his translation of the Iliad, a work that took him seven years to complete and that literary critic Samuel Johnson, Pope’s contemporary, pronounced C. his translation of the Iliad, a work that had taken seven years to complete and that literary critic Samuel Johnson, Pope’s contemporary, pronounced it as D. translating the Iliad, a work that took seven years until completion and that literary critic Samuel Johnson, Pope’s contemporary, pronounced it as E. translating the Iliad, a work that had taken seven years to complete and literary critic Samuel Johnson, Pope’s contemporary, pronounced it

lsr, You were right on this question.I can see where I made the mistake.In considering Identical profits, I took profit margins instead of the total Profits earned. Your conclusion that Identical costs will lead to Identical Profits is undeniably right.

My answer is E. For parallelism : subject is the book; the others should mention books.

My answer is D. For parallelism: plummeting, becoming and using. A. Because of wireless service costs plummeting in the last year, and as mobile phones are increasingly common, many people B. As the cost of wireless service plummeted in the last year and as mobile phones became increasingly common, many people C. In the last year, with the cost of wireless service plummeting, and mobile phones have become increasingly common, there are many people D. With the cost of wireless service plummeting in the last year and mobile phones becoming increasingly common, many people are E. While the cost of wireless service has plummeted in the last year and mobile phones are increasingly common, many people are

lsr, To arrive at choice D, we don't need further assumptions.A simple math is required still : Let, Daisy's lemonade = D; Lemon Shack lemonade = L. Premise : Identical revenues; let is be $6. $6 = $0.20 * Units(D) = $0.20 * 30; $6 = $0.20 * Units(L) = $0.30 * 20; Hence, we can see that Units(D) > Units(L). Now, moving ahead with the other premise, identical profits. Identical profits mean the Profit margin for each Unit is same. Let it be $0.10; Sell(D) - Cost(D) = Profit(D) => $0.20 - Cost(D) = $0.10 => Cost(D) = $0.10 Sell(L) - Cost(L) = Profit(L) => $0.30 - Cost(L) = $0.10 => Cost(L) = $0.20 Hence, we can see that the Unit costs need not be the same to produce Identical profits. Therefore, choice C is incorrect. In common, we compare profits per unit, rather than compare total profits where unequal units are used.Consider this : Case 1 : I buy 1000 pens for $1 each and sell them for $2 each.Total Profit is $1000 (or) 100%. Case 2 : I buy 10 pens for $1000 each and sell them for $1100 each.Total Profit is $1000 (or) 10%. The above 2 cases are not examples of Identical profits though the total amount is the same.The Cost involved is different and hence, Profit margin is different.

My answer is C. Conclusion : There is no financial incentive for people who take low-paying jobs. Weaken : People who have a job in hand are more likely to end up in high-paying jobs that those who are unemployed.Hence, the huge financial incentive.

My answers are : 1) D 2) E Agree with lsr's explanation.

My answer is D. I was searching for an answer choice that said, "Daisy's Lemonade sold more lemonades than did Lemon Shack on Monday". Choice A states exactly the opposite.In providing a valid assertion, choice D states that people preferred Daisy's to Lemon shack, concluding that the former sold more lemonades on that particular day.

My answer is B. Agree with the above explanations.

My answer is D. The only explanation for the thriving business could be the visiting grandchildren.

CrackXam, This is a question that deals with numbers and proportions.They are not equal. Choice E means : The argument assumes that the Total retirees moving to SunState remained the same through a period of 5 years. Choice E identifies an increase in retirees moving to other states over the period of 5 years. Say, 5 years ago Total retirees = 100. Moving to SunState (30%) = 30. (good business) After 5 years, Total retirees = 200. Moving to SunState (20%) = 40. (still good business) Hence, the argument is weakened.

My answer is D. In comparing verb phrases, the verb need not be repeated again.It can be replaced by an auxiliary verb such as do, does, did etc. For Ex: At the 2004 Olympics, the US won more medals than did China. Here, "did" further explains the action of "winning".

My answer is B. Agree with lsr's explanation.

My answer is E. Agree with lsr's explanation.

My answer is C. Argument : Consumer groups are trying to bring benefits to people by forcing cable companies to offer a la carte pricing. Counter-argument : Packaging is less than a la carte because some channels are subsidized when purchased in groups. Required factor : Do we need all the channels in the package? The cable company assumes that people will still pay for all channels in the package using a la carte pricing scheme. Hence, choice C states that the Govt should look into the options whether people will significantly reduce the number of channels that they are currently watching if an a la carte pricing is offered.

My answer is D. Legislation to prohibit sales will help.But it requires the assumption that parents will stop buying games for their kids too.

My answer is E. Over a period of 5 years, a reduction of 10 percent does not mean that the number of people has reduced.If the total number has increased over this period, then a 10 percent reduction could still be more than the number 5 years ago and have a positive economic effect.
