ss6872, sorry for the silly question,:o but what does "C" mean in the expression above? Thanks, LadyJ

Erin, I downloaded some material from http://www.angelfire.com/scifi2/gmatplus/gmat.html, and I did some exercises from sentence correction section. I ended up with so many mistakes that I doubt whether those answers are correct. Did you have a look at this material? Erin, please explain the following example: During the nineteenth century Emily Eden and Fanny Parks journeyed throughout India, sketching and keeping journals forming the basis of news reports about the princely states where they had visited. (A) forming the basis of news reports about the princely states where they had (B) that were forming the basis of news reports about the princely states © to form the basis of news reports about the princely states which they have (D) which had formed the basis of news reports about the princely states where they had (E) that formed the basis of news reports about the princely states they Thank you, LadyJ

Actually, the answer is (B). But, whatever the case, how did you come up with the answer? LadyJ

I would go with (E) If we know that p is greater than 2 it leaves us all prime numbers, which are > then 2 (3, 5, 7, 11, 13, etc) So we can not answer the question and this statement alone is insufficient. If we know that at least one term is sequence S is divisible by p we can be sure that p equals 3, 11, or 1111, etc. (99: 3*3*11; 999: 3*3*3*37). If p=3, then every term in a sequence is divisible by p. However, if p=11 the first term (9) is not divisible by p. Hence, the second statement is insufficient. It is obvious that together (1) and (2) are insufficient too. 2) Pick numbers: For example: 1,2,3,4,5 try (1): 2*1, 2*2, 2*3, 2*4, 2*5 We will get: 4,6,8,10 Every term after the first is equal to the sum of the preceding term and 2. => YES (2): p-3, etc. : -2,-1,0,1,2 Every term after the first is equal to the sum of the preceding term and 1. => YES (3) p^2, etc. : 1, 4, 9, 25 => NO The answer is I and II 3) How many answers are here? I mean Do we have to pick only one or we can pick several? Pick numbers and do not forget that the numbers are different and they are not in ascending or descending order in a set. The key here is to know how to find a mean, range and a medium. I would go with (A), (B) and (E). Glad if it helps.

I agree with Linda. Isn't it better to use "more sharply than are usual " because we are comparing fish prices which are plural. I am confused. Please, someone...

So, for example: It has been shown through extensive physical and statistical testing that domestic cars accelerate like foreign cars do. 1.accelerate like foreign cars do. 2.can accelerate like foreign cars do. 3.accelerate as foreign cars. 4.accelerate as foreign cars do. 5.will accelerate as foreign cars. I will go with 4, right? But if the 1st choice had been: "accelerate like foreign cars " It would have been correct, right?:crazy: Thanks, LadyJ

Please help, do not get it. It will rain today. Will it rain tomorrow? (1) If it does not rain tomorrow, then it will not rain today. (2) If it rains tomorrow, then it will rain today. Thanks, LadyJ

Erin, What about this construction X requires proof to be provided with every application (vt + noun clause) instead of: X requires that proof be provided with every application (vt + noun clause) Is it also correct?

Thanks for the quick response, Erin. I am receiving my score report here in the US. Yes, I just sent them another e-mail. Thanks, LadyJ

I had a computer-based TOEFL test on October 30 and I typed my Writing section on the computer. However, after 6 weeks after the test I still did not get my result. I was told it would take 2 weeks. What should I do? They refuse to tell my result by phone and do not answer on my e-mails where I ask them how long should I wait. So, I was wondering how long you guys waited for your score and if you were in my place what you did. Thanks, LadyJ
