IMO A. A uses appositive appropriately.

The OA is E.

There is nothing like a minimum score. The Top schools look for your GMAT score and not your AWA score. But you would be better off if you can pull out a 5 atleast. Just master the basic fallacies in AWA and you should easily get a 5.5. HTH! PS: i got a 6 in my AWA on G-Day.. :)

IMO A. Agree with LegoLife. No issues in A.

IMO D. D is clear and concise. "Stimulus to a broader appreciation" doesn't sound right. Hence A, B and E are out.

IMO A. I agree with LegoLife's explanation. Here "without any original thought" is modifying the "Leader of the Opposition" and NOT the "Prime Minister".

Hey ravindra mate!..Awesome score man!!!...You really nailed it..:) I was waiting for your debrief..:)..Congrats man!

Gave CAT1 of MGMAT: Score 700(Q48,V38) Quant was tough and so was the verbal. But MGMAT is definitely a great source for practice. The assessment reports are excellent!

Congrats TBAY...My story is similar to yours..and I just hope that this time I am able to join the elite 700 Club!...You have been an awesome contributor to this forum..:)

Both the above mentioned idioms are correct. In this question the idiom used is :: require X to Y

monu: Whats the OA?

Are you sure the OA is E? IMO the answer should be C. Stmt1: xy > 0 From this, we get that both x and y are either +ve or -ve so x 0 --> --INSUFF-- Stmt2: x + y > 0 No info on y. --INSUFF-- But combining both stmts, we get that x >0 since x + y > 0 will hold true only if x > 0 (Because if x The inequality(x + y > 0) will not hold true) Hence IMO C.

It didn't take me more than 2 mins to solve it. Its a question on plain concepts only. But I would be curious to know to see if there is an easy soln to this problem.

Imo D. 7c2 . 3c1 --------- 10c3 = 21/40
