Re: WT 4th page 191 - first example...

Manhattan GMAT Staff, I am completely lost. I think this is a good example of conditional probability. I am not sure why we are ignoring it. Here's my take: Let P = Event that Prograine is administered. R = Event that Ropecia is administered. O = Event that placebo is administered {We dont need this...

Question on SC Strategy

I was trying to solve SC questions from OG12. I got approx 80-90% correct answers while solving the first fifty questions. However, as I am progressing, my success rate is going down steeply. To add, I got only 2/10 correct from 80-90 range. I know that OG12 problems are graded in increasing order o...

Re: SC Guide - Verb Modifier

Ok. I have another question. I am referring to manhattan GMAT SC Series - Chap 12 / Pg 229. After the agreement surfaced, the commission dissolved it. Now, I will ask the question, "What happened after the agreement surfaced"? Going by Emily's logic, I would say the answer is the verb &quo...

Re: Question on SC Strategy

Thanks for your reply, Ron! I believe I wanted to understand if there is someone else in the same boat as I am OR is it that I haven't properly mastered the basics. I will go through the video posted by you.

Again, thanks for helping me.

Re: That every worker: MGMAT CAT

what about 'they' in C. There is NO ANTECEDENT! Please somebody help me with this...I don't get this. "they" refers to "investment banks". this is an acceptable construction - pronoun coming before antecedent, when the pronoun is in an initial modifier and the antecedent is in t...

Re: SC Guide - Verb Modifier

of course you're missing something - the rule that says you can't put a comma after "surfaced". you can't just decide you don't want a comma somewhere and then mark the answer choice wrong because it doesn't do what you want.. MGMAT Staff - I did some research after this and found that th...

Present Participle vs Present progressive tense (OG Q)

Ron/Stacey..... I have modified the sentence because of copyright issues. Beanie Todd, in her book illustrations, carefully coordinating them with her narrations, capitalized on her .... OG says that "use of the present progressive form of the verb confuses the sequence of time with respect to ...

Relative modifiers

ManhattanGMAT Staff, I went through Stacey's reply to one of the OG-12/126(SC) question. I understood the explanation but my curious mind raised another question. I am not too concerned about the answer choices and which one wins over which, but I am more concerned about the grammatical concepts. ht...

Re: Present Participle vs Present progressive tense (OG Q)

Because it DOES confuse the timing. It makes it sound like coordinating is happening in the present but she capitalized in the past. This does not make logical sense.. Thanks Tim. But my question is that I want to understand why "coordinating" is present progressive tense, as per OG ? Tha...
