  2. Hey there, Could somebody explain for me what is the difference between MS Taxation degree and MS degree in Accountancy? Which program you think that it might require more years of working to be able to do well? By the way, have any of you here known about the MS Taxation program at Cal State Univ, Northridge? Is it good? Thanks,

    Algebra...

    1. Harold is tiling a rectangular kitchen floor with an area that is expressed as . What could the dimensions of the floor be in terms of x? a. (x + 1)(x + 5)b. (x − 1)(x − 5)c. (x − 2)(x + 3)d. (x + 2)(x + 3) I think C should be used as 'Multiple' (in this case, C=5 because of 1*5 or (-1)*(-5)); and B should be considered "Sum" (in this case, B=6 because of (1+5))
  4. what should be the answer and why? FANG: TOOTH :: A. gum : mouth B. elbow : arm C. bank : river D. finger : digit E. summit : mountain -> Understand which is the main link for this.
  5. 5. {: OFFICIATE} D. secretary: dictate E. umpire: compete "officiate" seems kind of neutral word (having characteristics somewhat regular); meanwhile [compete] (as well as [preside]) seems clear, and quite strong word. [secretary: dictate] is suitable with the original pair.
  6. 1. SENSITIVE: DISTRESS A. submissive: master C. gullible: upset D. arrogant: impress E. sympathetic: condemn The original pair of words expresses meaning in a slighter way than the pair expresses in (E). "condemn" sounds too strong (esp. in the context with its left-hand word "sympathetic"). [submissive],[master] both relate to the area in which the original pair tries to establish the relationship.
  7. { : } -> having common characteristics which is not postive (destroyed, obstable) A. cacophony B. deluge : rain C. vista : sights B did the good job showing the sharing function between two words, "deluge", "rain" both create a lot of water, thus somewhat have negative consequence (generally).
  8. |hedonist:[unstinting]~{=++ [irresolute]©++ (b) is out of discuss (the first should be about the person)} (a. :insignificant b. thug:aggressive c. :irresolute d. :generous e. :manifest)| => For the right-hand word |(a. protagonist:insignificant b. thug:aggressive c. politician:irresolute d. benefactor:generous e. drunkard:manifest); { => (a) could occur in both case being negative or postive (meaning)>}|
  9. Not sure. But E seems better. Sth [DISPARATE] not related, not fit together; sth [cogent] very convincing, reasonable.
  10. 1. Infiltrate : Enter :: A. comply : index B. invade : assault C. allege : prove D. insinuate : say E. disclose : announce When you [say] that I am robust... do you [insinuate] that I am getting fat?
  11. The original pair of words shows contrast/parallel ("fear" opp "daunt", but, [FEARLESS ] // [DAUNT ]. => D is right. wrong
  12. Agree too. A is right. {For ©, [certain] is indeed // with [iNEVITABLE]; but "INEVITABLE" has a trend of happening many times (in whatever cases sth happens) meanwhile the opposite for" CHANCE". However, [regularity] seems to have many chances to occur too (which also correlate with the left word [certain])}.
  13. Postmodern architecture is not concerned with the easy goal of returning to the past but with the more { / } and difficult aim of ___ historical forms into a new and complex whole. A. important...changing B. subtle...integrating C. intellectual...updating D. rewarding...dramatizing E. ornamental...compressing
  14. Agree. Especially idiomatic one 'cultural savvy'
  15. Just as such apparently basic things as rocks, clouds, and clams are, in fact, intricately structured entities, so the self, too, is not an "elementary particle," but is { / [convoluted] - meaning sth "intricate" (slightly different with difficult as in "complicated"} construction. (A) a complicated (B) a convoluted © a distorted (D) an amorphous (E) an illusory --> A because it closely associate with the contrast in adjective 'basic' in the original one more.
  16. Networks of blood vessels in bats’ wings serve only to disperse heat generated in flight. This heat is generated only because bats flap their wings. Thus paleontologists’ recent discovery that the winged dinosaur Sandactylus had similar networks of blood vessels in the skin of its wings provides evidence for the hypothesis that Sandactylus flew by flapping its wings, not just by gliding. 89. The argument in the passage relies on which of the following assumptions? (A) Sandactylus would not have had networks of blood vessels in the skin of its wings if these networks were of no use to Sandactylus. (B) All creatures that fly by flapping their wings have networks of blood vessels in the skin of their wings. © Winged dinosaurs that flapped their wings in flight would have been able to fly more effectively than winged dinosaurs that could only glide. (D) If Sandactylus flew by flapping its wings, then paleontologists would certainly be able to find some evidence that it did so. (E) Heat generated by Sandactylus in flapping its wings in flight could not have been dispersed by anything other than the blood vessels in its wings. the strctr has the purpose
  17. The fewer restrictions there are on the advertising of legal services, the more lawyers there are who advertise their services, and the lawyers who advertise a specific service usually charge less for that service than lawyers who do not advertise. Therefore, if the state removes any of its current restrictions, such as the one against advertisements that do not specify fee arrangements, overall consumer legal costs will be lower than if the state retains its current restrictions. Which of the following, if true, would most seriously weaken the argument concerning overall consumer legal costs? A. The state has recently removed some other restrictions that had limited the advertising of legal services. B. The state is unlikely to remove all of the restrictions that apply solely to the advertising of legal services. C. Lawyers who do not advertise generally provide legal services of the same quality as those provided by lawyers who do advertise. D. Most lawyers who now specify fee arrangements in their advertisements would continue to do so even if the specification were not required. E. Most lawyers who advertise specific services do not lower their fees for those services when they begin to advertise. less rule mre biz
  18. With the emergence of biotechnology companies, it was feared that they would impose silence about proprietary results on their in-house researchers and their academic consultants. This constraint, in turn, would slow the development of biological science and engineering. Which of the following, if true, would tend to weaken most seriously the prediction of scientific secrecy described above? A. Biotechnological research funded by industry has reached some conclusions that are of major scientific importance. B. When the results of scientific research are kept secret, independent researchers are unable to build on those results. C. Since the research priorities of biotechnology companies are not the same as those of academic institutions, the financial support of research by such companies distorts the research agenda. D. To enhance the companies standing in the scientific community, the biotechnology companies encourage employees to publish their results, especially results that are important. E. Biotechnology companies devote some of their research resources to problems that are of fundamental scientific importance and that are not expected to produce immediate practical applications imagination
  19. Opponents of laws that require automobile drivers and passengers to wear seat belts argue that in a free society people have the right to take risks as long as the people do not harm others as a result of taking the risks. As a result, they conclude that it should be each person’s decision whether or not to wear a seat belt. Which of the following, if true, most seriously weakens the conclusion drawn above? (A) Many new cars are built with seat belts that automatically fasten when someone sits in the front seat. (B) Automobile insurance rates for all automobile owners are higher because of the need to pay for the increased injuries or deaths of people not wearing seat belts. © Passengers in airplanes are required to wear seat belts during takeoffs and landings. (D) The rate of automobile fatalities in states that do not have mandatory seat-belt laws is greater than the rate of fatalities in states that do have such laws. (E) In automobile accidents, a greater number of passengers who do not wear seat belts are injured than are passengers who do wear seat belts pschology
  20. Hi, Could you remember which the date is? Does it relate to the latest date of enrollment for the fall semester (say, typically, schools often start fall ofificially on aug 28th)? Thanks for suggesting.
  21. If for all the correct questions, the result = (1/2)^8. Now, only 7 among 8 required --> a combination required = C (8,7) = 8!/(7!*1!) = 8 Therefore, answer = (1/2)^8*8=1/32
  22. I think it 'empty subject', thus, not refer to anything (for this sentence).
  23. # 1 , , has been unsuccessful despite efforts by many important groups, including the National Organization for Women. This sentence is correct because the grammar includes the full structure with subject, verb. In addition, using "to-inf" idiomatic here (showing the purpose). As you already said it's A, so I just paraphrased this sentence to make it a little bit clearer...
