This is Q#22 from OG and OA is E: 23/37 @gre320hex: If the repeating decimal is between 0 and 1, and the repeating block is n digits long, first occurring right after the decimal point, then the fraction (not necessarily reduced) will be the integer number represented by the n-digit block divided by the one represented by n digits 9. For example, 0.444444... = 4⁄9 since the repeating block is 4 (a 1-digit block), 0.565656... = 56⁄99 since the repeating block is 56 (a 2-digit block), 0.012012... = 12⁄999 since the repeating block is 012 (a 3-digit block), and this further reduces to 4⁄333.This is from wiki! Very comprehensive explanation!

my vote is B Originally Posted by nick_zen http://www.www.urch.com/forums/tm_images/buttons/viewpost.gif In good years, the patchwork of green fields that surround the San Joaquin Valley town bustles with farm workers, many of them in the area just for the season. (A) surround the San Joaquin Valley town bustles with farm workers, many of them - patchwork is subject hence it should be surrounds (B) surrounds the San Joaquin Valley town bustles with farm workers, many of whom are - surrounds is the right form, many of whom=workers . B is right © surround the San Joaquin Valley town bustles with farm workers, many of who are - same as A (D) surround the San Joaquin Valley town bustle with farm workers, many of which - same as A (E) surrounds the San Joaquin Valley town bustles with farm workers, many are - "many are" is missing whom in the middle

but again, B changes the initial meaning, doesn't it?

mals24, thank you!

Agree with dv_dheeraj! C alters the meaning: Industrialization and modern methods ... have improved the standard of living ... while they (industrialization and methods) have introduced some 100,000 dangerous chemical pollutants at the same time, and (industrialization and methods) have gone virtually unregulated since they (industrialization and methods) were developed more than 50 years ago. - wrong meaning! In B that correctly links pollutants and the fact that they have gone unregulated.

in IF clause avoid should, would, could, can, will

I will go for D. D. Official color of Ayrton Nadal Seminary is taupe, and that of Mekong state infirmary is mauve, but neither is that of substitutes official color => parallelism

1) "forbid" doesn't require subj.

It's from 1000SC. OA is D... though I'm confused with "the amount that can be used as fuel".. is it correct?

I'm between A and B. Could anybody, plz, explain why B is wrong? My assumption is that it alters the meaning. (?) A. Floating in the waters of the equatorial Pacific, an array of buoys collects and transmits data on long-term interactions between the ocean and the atmosphere, interactions that affect global climate. B. Floating in the waters of the equatorial Pacific, an array of buoys collects and transmits data on long-term interactions between the ocean and the atmosphere, with interactions affecting global climate.

His Studies of ice-polished rocks in his Alpine homeland, far outside the range of present day glaciers, led Louis Agassiz in 1857 to propose the concept of an age in which great ice sheets had existed in now currently temperate areas. A. in which great ice sheets had existed in now currently temperate areas. - "now currently" is redundant B. in which great ice sheets existed in what are now temperate areas. - sounds correct C. when great ice sheets existed where there were areas now temperate. - alters the meaning D. when great ice sheets had existed in current temperate areas. - "had existed" is wrond tense E. when great ice sheets existed in areas now that are temperate. - could be right if it were "...areas that are NOW temparate" B for me.

It is C. All other answers are wordy.

what is the OA?

I think for #2 A is correct because of subjunctive case. directive that any chemical .... be prohibited (MGMAT, SC section, p. 49)

@ effective factor: can we say "the amount that can be used as fuel"?

could you explain why B is wrong?

I choose B.

I agree, it's D. I have the same reasoning.

I will go for A. to have a theory that = to assume B, C - I don't like apostrophe here D, E - theory of is wrong here

I think A is good. At first I was confused by that but it correctly refers to measurements.

I vote for C. to lead smb to do smth!

genius_in_the_gene, could you give more detailed expl, please? I didn't get it:blush:

why "that" refers to factors not to inflation?

I would say B. The same reasoning: parallelism. The only thing that seems awkward to me is "were it to do so".... Antarctica receives more solar radiation than does any other place on Earth, yet the temperatures are so cold and the ice cap is reflective, so that little polar ice melts during the summer; otherwise, the water levels of the oceans would rise 250 feet and engulf most of the world’s great cities. A. is reflective, so that little polar ice melts during the summer; otherwise, B. is so reflective that little of the polar ice melts during the summer; were it to do so, C. so reflective that little polar ice melts during the summer, or else D. reflective, so that little of the polar ice melts during the summer, or E. reflects so that little of the polar ice melts during the summer; if it did

I would pick C. It gives better meaning of the entire sentence.
