i found some mistakes in the GAS-tests i wouldnt pay a penny for such tests.

did not doubt whether the body = had no doubt that the body whether and that are interchangeable in this case did not doubt that the body = had no doubt that the body if THAT or WHETHER is redundunt in A - why is it not redundunt in E? i dont think WHETHER is redundunt. there is nothing wrong with WHETHER being in the sentence.

the problem with E is inappropriate use of which. which refers to the noun it follows. in this case which refers to storminess. storminess, which are the most obvious effects

Left-handed majority tend to have an advantage over the right-handed majority, however, on task controlled by the right hemisphere of the brain, and mathematical reasoning is strongly under the influence of the right hemisphere in most people. first part of the sentence says that left-handed tend to have advantage over right-handed ones. then it says however ....normaly it follows with a contrast. i would expect to see some disadvantages of left-handed people against right-handed ones. the construction of the sentence doesnot seem to be correct. or is it just me? what do u think guys?

which always refers to the noun it follows. the problem with B is that which,as it is placed, refers to does - wrong

i dont think there is a general rule for that. at least i cant come up with one.

alex cute, thats wright, WHOSE only about alive subjects but location of WHOSE in the sentence modifies the branches. thats why E is wrong.

it is between E and D while choice E is a nice and concise sentence ...... it is not parallel to the one that follows after. choice D - akward and wordy, but compares like to like the rate ......with....failure rate - which is correct my vote goes to D

it is the inhabitance that is undisturbed. the inhabitants of the Lofotens ,Virtually undisturbed for the last three centuries on their starkly beautiful islands near the edge of the Arctic Circle, have evolved folkways and a life-style that bring warmth to their harsh environment.

alex cute - me 14. D - D 21 D - D 11. C -C 18. E -A - the only difference 21 B -B

since the first part of the sentence contains have the verb has to be seen and not saw so it is between E and D i agree with veldemort, whose - modifies the branches in E

B is missing he at the begining of the second sentence, in C he is redundant. D is missing he, so it is between A and E for me. i would go for A. in E in is missing before 1609

well, i was responding on your early statement, yes since then u ve elaborated on that a bit more and in good details. still think that AND between increase... AND establish will not help. comma or AND - they both do the same thing. Well, the bill is going to have two simultaneous functions: 1. increase government regulation 2. at the same time it will establish standards for insurance. that is exactly my point bill doesnot do 2 simultaneous things. it does only 1 thing increase regulation,....and then ...as a cause affect ... establishing standards

agree B - is the best answer, i disagree with alex cute that A is missing AND. the end is fine. ... who otherwise could be uncovered for months it is the begining that is problematic. it need to be gerund. ,establishing standards... otherwize A is saying: bill would increase: 1 regulation 2 establish standards in other words, bill will produce 2 things. B says: bill would increase .... regulation, ....this will cause establishment of standards

indeed, moreover, A) comapres: lives... - Chekhov B) compares: Chekhov - biographies C) compares: life - lives .... correct D) compares: Chekhov and his life - ... of biographies E) compares: life - biographies

for Q4 B - looks like the best answer: maintans the same tense ".....have been killed ..." and uses "fewer" - for countable nouns

my vote goes to D D maintains present tense in both sentences, besides, even though is better than even if because i think a author is trying to present a contrast. even though - does better job. C and E - use there is - not preferable option.

my vote goes to A A - is parallel ......the act...that made......established Washington modifies the city - which is correct. B - modifies Congress C - April 24, which made provision - doesnot make sense. it sounds like April made provisions D - making ......established...... - is not parallel it sounds like Washington was approved and Wasington was making provisions. - wrong E - the constraction is similar to A, but it is not parallel Approved ..., the act ......made ......establishing

Agree with Bob800, moreover, the choice A is wrong because the second part of the sentence is missing the verb. if u disregard the ambiguity of "them", the choise A conveys: "workers in the area just for a season" whereas choise B clearly says: "workers are in the area just for a season"

the answer on the last question (14) has to be E Nor did they analyze their reduction in price to determine whether it would attract new customers by producing a new standard of price that would excite customers or by proving difficult for competitors to copy.

guys, i have written to the GAS company that produces GAS-gmat tests and thats what they had to say in respond......(see below) .... i still think the question is wrong. what do u think guys. give me some support, please. GAS response: In the example given by you, the correct answer for GMAT is E. The phrase "The best way for the HRU reagents manufacturer to preserve the product is to have them plumbed into a glass capsule before oxygen affects and decomposes the stuff." is grammatically correct and it is the best choice out of the list. Please pay your attention when you take the test - you are to choose the best answer from the list, not to judge whether there are better ways to express the thought or not. Take this advice and you will get a better score We have been selling our tests for two years and constantly we have had the feedback from our customers. As 3/4 of purchasers of our tests are educated native English speakers (they are thousands), and they have not yet noticed mistakes in verbal (or math) parts, we give you our explanation of "mistakes" found by you: - English is not your mother tongue, which prevents you from being an expert in the verbal part - You misunderstood our proposal described in our letter to you after you bought the first test Anyway, we are open for a discussion and if you really find mistakes we would be glad if you wrote us about them. Thank you Yuriy

thanks for a good explanation. if statement 2 were to define n as integers than the statement 2 would have been sufficient too. but since n - are any numbers (n could be=0.5, 0.6, 0.34) the statement is not sufficient.

yes, the OA is A, but i still cant see what is the diference between statement-1 and statement-2 ......... could someone explain please? untill then i stick to my original choice - D.
