Even I am not sure, but certainly this is not wrong: One should be responsible for his/her own actions.

My answer: A. I have seen OG stick to the rule that AS should be used only for clauses, where as Manhattan GMAT is ok with AS being used for noun comparison as well. Plus, option A seems the most appropriate to me. OA please.

D is the best pick, even though I am not convinced with the usage "woolen robe with which they dressed..". Can somebody please explain? OA please.

My answer B. The subject of this statement is "list of animals" and not animals. Going by that, I rule out C, D and E. Preference to use sounds more idiomatic than preference for. Another change needed in A: "Preference of either using right or using left..". Why C, D and E are definitely wrong. We have only one statement and hence have one subject. If animals is that subject, the verb (has) in the second part of the sentence does not agree with the plural form of animals. OA please.

Brent, Thanks for clarifying that. The missing angle caused the confusion.

Hi, I am referring to Data Sufficiency problem number 117 in the Official Guide Quantitative Review book (Original Edition). Question: In triangle ABC, what is the length of side BC? (1) Line segment AD has length 6 (2) x = 36 [ATTACH=CONFIG]6058[/ATTACH] Please let me know what you think is the answer, along with the explanation. I am not convinced with the explanation in the book, which we can discuss once you post your answers. Thanks, Raghu

IMO E. Could you pls post the answer?

Hi, I just checked the answer explanation for this problem and looks like there're a few inconsistencies. While the initial explanation of the answer sounds right, the details of individual options is not completely right. Eg. In Option 1 the 3 items are parallel. Please confirm or let me know if I am missing something. Raghu

Hi friends, First of all, feels awesome to be back to this wonderful forum, posting queries. I owe a lion's share of my minimal success to this forum. But my journey still isnt over and I still need help from this place. So plz help. I had given my GMAT in Nov'08 after 2 months of prep. Had actively participated in this forum, but only in the fag-end of my prep. Even though I started my prep 3-4 months prior to my exam date, I concentrated only for the last 1.5 to 2 months. Honestly, 570 is the range of score I had expected, since that was the result of my GMAT Preps. I always wanted to give my debrief here, but cudnt do so because of my dejection. Today I got inspired becoz of my roomie's stmt that GMAT n MBA make no sense. I didn't want my effort to go wasted and I have to prove to myself more than anyone else. enuf of the dialogs, coming to the basics.. during the test, I felt I performed poorly in Quant and very well in Verbal. The results are here for you to see: V: 26(40%) Q: 42(63%) AWA: 5.5(80%) I was totally surprised! I referred OG11 but I did not complete it. I crossed multiple hurdles.. like, RC was next to impossible for me, but due to practice, I was quite comfortable by the time of the test... etc. But seems like I fell one month short of proper perp. I dearly want to revive myself by getting a good GMAT score which can shape up my future.. Kindly suggest or ask queries abt my prep, so that u can guide me. Thanks, Raghu

Can someone please explain how to solve Q Nos. 128 and 129 from OG 11?

A - implies that "Europeans arrived in the New World on Columbus Day 1992" - hence out B - implies that "a $100 million investment" was "Initiated on Columbus Day 1992".. Instead Project SETI was initiated D - the second part is weirdly constructed E - There is something fishy about the last part even here. Also the first part seems to indicate that 'the search is after five years' instead of 'the project is setup after 5 years' Hence I pick C. The third part starts perfectly in relation to the first part. Please correct me wherever I am wrong.

You need very careful reading for this.. Had posted the same question a day back in the forum. AS MANY is the key here... Read it this way: ... more than 3 times as many.. institutions .. charge tution of 8,000 .. (now AS seems implicit) so you have options A and E. Since you need 'as those', E is the apporpriate one.

Hi, I have taken both the GMAT Prep tests once. I assume we can take each of them twice. Please correct me if I am wrong.

B - 'like' is mainly used to compare nouns, here the process/effects are compared (Usually for these, 'as' is used) C - "similar to polio vaccine" implies that 'mass dietary change' is similar to polio vaccine - Invalid comparison. D - "argues that while, to" - not a convincing phrase E - ends in a wrong way - "who might contract polio actually" A - uses 'as' and the sentence construction also seems satisfactory. Plz correct me if I am wrong anywhere.

According to a 1996 survey by the National Association of College an University Business Officers, more than three times as many independent institutions of higher education charge tuition and fees of under $8,000 a year than those that charge over $16,000.
