Gmat-Taker

Finally, it's over. I wrote GMAT two years back and scored 670. After the test, I had made up my mind to take the test again. I took the test today and scored 770! A jump of 100 points! Last time I prepared for about two months. The second time I prepared for about one and a half months. Although I did not actively participate in the discussions in the Testmagic forums, I used to regularly visit the threads posted here. Testmagic has helped a lot in learning the GMAT concepts. I will write the full debrief soon. too tired today...will take some rest:)

Which of the following, if true, most weakens the argument? A) Immigration reform will limit the pool of available workers. argument has already mentioned that there will be shortage of workers in other industries- hence the pool of workers is already limited B) Government efforts have been shown to affect employment trends only rarely. - this will weaken because argument assumes that government efforts will be able to move people to the new jobs C) The best available positions require skills not possessed by the vast majority of the unemployed. - does not weaken.it only talks abt the best possible positions D) A small proportion of baby boomers will not retire as soon as is anticipated. - does not weaken E) Many out-of-work young people are unaware of these looming employment opportunities. - govt efforts can make them aware

E cannot be answer. As it says- 'some people'....which means that it might not weaken the conclusion that the usage of these products will decline significantly...

I go for C
