Don't know.:) In the morning when I wake up at 6:30 i didn't even rememeber that I have GMAT today. Then I saw Sep 7.."oh..I registered for GMAT for sep 7..4 months back". So called up work on the way that I will be off first half of the day.. With this score, I am not going full time for sure.. I will see whereever I get my next job, try to get into E-MBA or part time there. Maybe appear again (if considered full time) sometime early next yr..

Can't complain as never prepared quant.. verbal also did for one month only & that too 3 months back.. Haven't touched any GMAT books since May 15.. But did get 5-6 probabibility questions & at least 3 bold faced questions in Verbal. RC were easy. Q-48(86 percentile), V-34(79(percentile) Overall percentile - 89

I think the correct one should be , "can you buy me some fruits such as oranges and grapefruits?"

I agree with both huskers & limwd. OA has to be E.

Thanks gmat0805, But I still don't understand how it fits the subject verb inversion scenario # 3.

gmat0805, It might be , I looked into all the possible cases of 18 subject verb inversion in that link, but I couldn't find the one which explain the scenario in this question. Could you/anyone please help me in dentifying which scenario this fits?

1. Out of America’s fascination with all things antique have grown a market for bygone styles of furniture and fixtures that are bringing back the chaise lounge, the overstuffed sofa, and the claw-footed bathtub. (A) things antique have grown a market for bygone styles of furniture and fixtures that are bringing (B) things antique has grown a market for bygone styles of furniture and fixtures that is bringing © things that are antiques has grown a market for bygone styles of furniture and fixtures that bring (D) antique things have grown a market for bygone styles of furniture and fixtures that are bringing (E) antique things has grown a market for bygone styles of furniture and fixtures that bring Couple of doubts... 1. How 'things antique' is right? Isn't adjective precede the noun? 2. OG says, in A & D, 'have grown' doesn not agree with the singular noun market. But isn't the subject of verb phrase, 'has/have grown', is fascination? Any explanations would be really appreciated..

What is this thread about?

No idea.

A seems correct to me also.

I picked up D first over C, then after examining closely, I found : in D, A nuclear weapon detonated above the atmosphere would not generate a blast, shock, or heat, but rather an intense electromagnetic pulse disrupting, like a lightning bolt, all unshielded electric lines and electronic equipment. => A nuclear weapon detonated above the atmosphere would not [this ] but [that]. So IMO,for D to be correct it should be , ......would generate not..[this] but [that]. in C, A nuclear weapon detonated above the atmosphere would generate no blast, shock, or heat, but rather an intense electromagnetic pulse disrupting, like a lightning bolt, all unshielded electric lines and electronic equipment => A nuclear weapon detonated above the atmosphere would generate no [this] but [that]. It is just my understanding... Anyone, please correct me if I am wrong.

Where can one find the lessons on absolute phrase?

IMO, I think correct form should be Tecumsch urged 'whom' ? a,d,e - says as in original sentence - urged "American tribes and former enermies" So rule out b & c. Also in C, "should be resistent the cession" is awkward construction. E - 'they' is ambiguous. (parcels, enemies or tribes?) Between A & D, I would choose D ..I preferred would over will in this case. Also, in A, I am not able to figure which is the preceding noun 'it' refers to.

I think we are comparing actions. PS: I always get confused in as/like questions.

IMO,Household objects is the subject.

I think it is A, household objects, each object a necessity for daily life, ready for use. 'each object a necessity for daily life' is a appositive for objects.. so we should use the plural verb & 'was' is not definitely one.

I will go with A. correct idiom is .. , just as..so too A- maintains correct parrallism B- breaks parallelism, also it is saying writers who try & understand ... means that writers already understand Black Life.I think the intended meaning is attempt to understand... C-Correct idiom is just as..so too, otherwise this seems perfect choice.. D- Correct idiom is just as..so too..also same try & understand reasoning as of B. E-just as..then is unidiomatic

Anyone??

OG says, choice E appropriately compared young adults to earlier generaions; if we are comparing earlier generations & young adults (both noun phrases) then why do we need 'as'? If the reason for choosing this is errors in A & B, (lacks referrent to that) Will it be better ... According to a recent poll, owning and living in a freestanding house on its own land is still a goal of a majority of young adults, like it was of earlier generations?

43. In the minds of many people living in England, before Australia was Australia, it was the antipodes, the opposite pole to civilization, an obscure place that was considered the end of the world. a) before Australia was Australia, it was the antipodes b) before there was australia, it was the antipodes c) it was the antipodes that was Australia d) Australia was what was the antipodes e) Australia was what had been known as the antipodes I am sure that lot of us can find the OA..:) I chose D, OG says .. InB , it has no logical referent because the previous clause describes a time when there was no australia. D is wordy, with the unnecessary 'what was', and imprecise in suggesting that Australia was considered the antipodes after it became Australia..How? Can anyone please provide some explanation?

Suppose a train leaves T10(will reach J at 12) will meet J9(on the way b/w 10-12), J10 (on the way b/w 10-12), J11(on the way b/w10-12).. So yes, 3. what is OA?

agree with gmat0805.. There is other way, how many 2 digit numbers are there - 90(10 to 99) A. First digit even digit - 40(20-29,40-49,60-69,80-89) B. Out of A(i.e. 40) numbers with second digit as even - 20 (40/2=20) C. out of B(20) minus repeat of 4(i.e. 1) = 19 19*5*5*5=2375..

OA is D

I agree with TwinnSplitter about A,B & C D--such..that tempts me..but I can't figure out if 'they' is unambiguous. E -- is my pick.. (Then there is always thought on back of mind..that twinnsplitter recently cracked V;))

Sorry..it was typo..I will edit my post too(which is not allowed):(
