Thanx for the reply. i think it was very straightforward and honest. I know that my age maybe a big minus but just wanted to add another angle to it. The quality of my WE has been very good for few reasons: 1) Besides my Technical Background i was found fit for sales and Marketing. 2) I have shown record growth for 2 years and I was given additional responsibility of 2 more markets(1 metro and 1 urban) due to my performance. 3) I was lucky to get many opportunities to display leadership due to my job profile and i have made best use of these opp. which can be highlighted. My entrepreneurship career has involved working in family owned business. We have small scale iron and steel rolling mill and i have handled production and marketing of different steel products. I have successfully executed 3 projects for improving productivity at the plant and 1 project in marketing for liquidating inventory during slack season. My extra curricular is definitely weak but during the time i had spent a my rolling mill i have given guidance to my factory laborers and taught basic mathematics to them.(but i wonder if this can be recognized as ExCurr or Community as it was self-driven, not in collaboration with any NGO.) pls advise

OA is B

A newly discovered painting on wooden panel by Michelangelo must have been completed after 1507 but before 1509. It cannot have been painted earlier than 1507 because one of its central figures carries a coin that was not minted until that year. It cannot have been painted after 1509 because it contains a pigment that Michelangelo is known to have abandoned when a cheaper alternative became available in that year. Which of the following is an assumption on which the argument depends? No stocks of the abandoned pigment existed after 1509. Michelangelo did not work on the painting over the course of several years. The coin depicted in the painting was known to general public in 1507. The wooden panel on which the painting was executed cannot be tested accurately for age. Michelangelo's painting style did not change between 1507 and 1509.

thus is not used as pronoun. E is wrong IMO D

OA is A i overassumed

OA is B

E says Traffic safety officials predict that drivers will be as likely to exceed the proposed speed limit as they are the current one. they are the current one is awkward. Pls explain why E?

well OA is A i was confused between C and E but OA says producing more article shows that worker are more productive hence weaken the conclusion. The writers who took more than six breaks daily produced, on average, more articles than did the other writers who took less than six breaks daily.

but E changes the meaning

Legolife try again E is not the OA what about C, reverses cause-effect A diminished output of article ideas was the reason that some of the writers who took fewer than six breaks daily lowered the amount of breaks that they took per day

why that is required? A. plan difficult operations and to develop programs that will work for doctors and nurses in the same way that flight simulators do

i think 2nd BF attacks the premise by saying that the distribution of assets is not the only function handled by a will

The management of a magazine recently divided its staff of writers into two groups based on whether the writers took more than six breaks daily. A higher percentage of those writers who took more than six breaks a day had problems producing article ideas than did the writers who took six breaks or fewer. The management of the magazine concluded that taking more than six breaks per day causes writers to be less productive. Which of the following, if true, most seriously weakens the conclusion above? The writers who took more than six breaks daily produced, on average, more articles than did the other writers who took less than six breaks daily. Some of the writers who took fewer than six breaks daily produced large numbers of article ideas. A diminished output of article ideas was the reason that some of the writers who took fewer than six breaks daily lowered the amount of breaks that they took per day. Some writers took breaks of only one minute each, while other writers took breaks of up to twenty minutes each. Frustration over the low production of article ideas caused some of the writers already taking more than six breaks a day to take even more frequent breaks.

Antonio: Although many attorneys stress the importance of writing a will to govern the distribution of one’s property upon death, most people would be better off not drafting a will. Intestacy laws govern the disposition of the estates, the financial assets and personal belongings, of people who die without wills. These laws generally divide the deceased’s assets among the surviving spouse and children, if any. Because most people would choose a similar division of property if they drafted wills, they should avoid the expense of hiring an attorney to draft a will. Beatrice: But the distribution of assets is not the only function handled by a will. The document also determines the guardianship of minor children if both parents are dead. Thus, a will can serve a useful purpose even if the distribution of assets would be the same as that under intestacy laws. Which of the following best describes the roles played by the bolded phrases in the discussion above? A) The first phrase states an exception to a general principle, and the second restates that principle B)The first phrase states a position, and the second provides evidence supporting an alternate position. C) The first phrase presents factual evidence, and the second disputes the accuracy of that evidence. D) The first phrase states the conclusion of an argument, and the second contradicts a premise upon which the conclusion is based. E) The first phrase contradicts generally accepted beliefs, and the second describes a specific example of those beliefs.

Is It A Or E

Researchers are using computer images to help surgeons plan difficult operations and to develop programs that will work for doctors and nurses in the same way that flight simulators do for pilots, letting medical personnel practice their techniques and test their reflexes before they ever see a patient. 8 A. plan difficult operations and to develop programs that will work for doctors and nurses in the same way that flight simulators do B. plan difficult operations and develop programs to work for doctors and nurses the same way as with flight simulators C. to plan difficult operations and to develop programs that will work for doctors and nurses like flight simulators D. plan difficult operations and in developing programs to work for doctors and nurses the same way as flight simulators E. to plan difficult operations and developing programs that will work for doctors and nurses like flight simulators do

OA is A

thanx got it now

In Patton City, days are categorized as having heavy rainfall (more than two inches), moderate rainfall (more than one inch, but no more than two inches), light rainfall (at least a trace, but no more than one inch), or no rainfall.
