  1. Please advice on the appropriate forum to post the question below; it's from the new GRE PowerPrep. In the early 1980's neuroscientists studying the brain processes underlying our sense of conscious will compared subjects' judgments regarding their subjective will to move (W) and actual movement (M) with objective electroencephalographic activity called readiness potential, or RP. As expected, W preceded M: subjects consciously perceived the intention to move as preceding a conscious experience of actually moving. This might seem to suggest an appropriate correspondence between the sequence of subjective experiences and the sequence of the underlying events in the brain. But researchers actually found a surprising relation between subjective experience and objectively measured neural events: in direct contradiction of the classical conception of free will, neural preparation to move (RP) preceded conscious awareness of the intention to move (W) by hundreds of milliseconds Based on information contained in the passage, which of the following chains of events would most closely conform to the classical conception of free will? A: W followed by RP followed by M B: RP followed by W followed by M C: M followed by W followed by RP D: RP followed by M followed by W E: RP followed by W and M simultaneously
  2. Hi am interested in getting a 26 in the iBT toefl test. What is you local time like?
  3. Is anyone interested in joining a speaking practicing group? Currently, the two of us just started and its been progressive. Nevertheless, I think one or two more people will add diversity and more bit to the discussions. If interested, please send me your skype id.
  4. I would be appreciated if I can join the group for a speaking discussion. skype IDs please (mine is sent via pm) Thanks
  5. I would like to join too.Can you guys send me your skype id' please...?
  6. hello guys, I have sent you my skype id for the above subject. Please let me know the plans.
  7. am interested in the toefl speaking practice. I have sent you guys my skype id via a pm.
  8. Prompted by observations of seemingly related species in neighboring locales that he made during his five-year voyage around the world on the HMS Beagle, Charles Darwin conceived his theory of natural selection in which all species evolved over time from a single ancestor or very few common ancestors. A:… B: in which all species evolve from a single ancestor or very few common ancestors over time C: whereby over time all species evolve from a single ancestor or very few common ancestors D: whereby all species have evolved over time from a single ancestor or very few common ancestors E: whereby all species evolved over time from a single ancestor or very few common ancestors OA is

The development of the new choreography methodology is anticipated to launch the repertory company to the next level of artistic innovation and be able to accommodate a broader range of dance styles with more creative latitude than the current curriculum C. The new development of a choreography methodology, which is anticipated to launch the repertory company to the next level of artistic innovation, will be able to accommodate a broader range of dance styles with more creative latitude than the current curriculum D. The newly developed choreography methodology, which is anticipated to launch the repertory company to the next level of artistic innovation, will be able to accommodate a broader range of dance styles than the current curriculum can, and with more creative latitude E. The newly developed choreography methodology, which is anticipated to launch the repertory company to the next level of artistic innovation, will be able to accommodate a broader range of dance styles than the current curriculum and to provide creative latitude more Spoiler:
  11. I have posted the information in my last response; OA is E.
  12. The almost universal use of antibiotics as a part of the standard treatment for a wide range of illnesses has two effects that are especially detrimental. First, treatment with antibiotics often kills beneficial bacteria along with the harmful bacteria. Second, a course of treatment with an antibiotic often gives rise to antibiotic resistant bacteria, since the bacteria that survive a given antibiotic are the ones most resistant to it, and they are the only ones left to replicate. From the passage above, it can be properly inferred that the effectiveness of the almost universal use of antibiotics can most likely be improved by doing which of the following? (A) Using only the most powerful antibiotics (B) Varying the dosage of the antibiotic used © Periodically changing the type of antibiotic used (D) Very gradually increasing the dosage of the antibiotic used (E) Raising the dosage at which bacteria are considered to be antibiotic resistant The passage states 2 effects of antibiotics: killing and resistance. Do we look for a choice that mitigates the two effects would a choice that mitigates any of the two side-effects suffice?
  13. The author gives information regarding the opinions of both the researchers and the promoters: Researchers: promotion depends on volume of publication Promoters: promotion depends largely on impact of publications and NOT on volume (amount). Is there anything implying (or suggesting) that the author's line of thinking is in consonance with that of the promoters - that promotion hinges on impact? Well, choice E (the correct answer) says that promotion depends on volume (amount) of publications; Yes, volume because when you split a single publication onto multiple journals, the volume increases but we cannot say anything about its impact.
  14. Sorry, there was a typo error in (2); the correct sign should be less than(). OA is B.
  15. Junior biomedical researchers have long assumed that their hirings and promotions depend significantly on the amount of their published work. People responsible for making hiring and promotion decisions in the biomedical research field, however, are influenced much more by the overall impact that a candidate's scientific publications have on his or her field than by the number of those publications. The information above, if accurate, argues most strongly against which of the following claims? a. Even biomedical researchers who are just beginning their careers are expected already to have published articles of major significance to the field. b. Contributions to the field of biomedical research are generally considered to be significant only if the work is published. c. The potential scientific importance of not-yet-published work is sometimes taken into account in decisions regarding the hiring or promotion of biomedical researchers. d. People responsible for hiring or promoting biomedical researchers can reasonably be expected to make a fair assessment of the overall impact of a candidate's publications on his or her field. e. Biomedical researchers can substantially increase their chances of promotion by fragmenting their research findings so that they are published in several journals instead of one To argue against the claims of the passage, do we have to undermine the position of the Researchers or against that of those hiring?
