Reading Comprehension Online Question Bank

Hello everyone, I bought the complete Manhattan GMAT strategy guide, 5th edition. Inside the books, its said that my purchase includes online access to a RC question bank, but I can't figure out how to use that (except buying it for 5$, but it should be included in my purchase). Sorry for off topic,...

Re: Query relating to Mex Growth - RC

This question is weird, please just delete it or edit it. I want to study for the GMAT and not study the US American law. How can I know anything about any "minimum wages" in the US?! Furthermore, it is just not clear why B is more suggested than D. It's just some random opinion of the cre...

Re: Does the equation y = (x – p)(x – q) intercept the x-axis a

I am not sure which mistake I made, but for me (1) alone was sufficient: First, let's look at the equation: y = (x-p)(x-q) y = x^2 - qx - px + pq y = x^2 - x(q + p) + pq The first statement says pq = -8 So plug in point (2,0) and -8: 0 = 4 - 2(q + p) - 8 0 = - 4 -2q - 2p 4 = -2q -2p -2 = q + p (This...

Re: reg this CR

b) Inverness is known for its harsh winters, while the climate of La Rinconada is quite temperate year-round. I don't get why this is related to the argument. It does NOT AT ALL give an alternate explanation, it just has nothing to do with the argument. I could also say "My mom baked a cake yes...

The new rules in the school's code of conduct

The new rules in the school's code of conduct -- including penalties for children hoarding candy and rewards for those sharing it -- have been criticized to encourage children to share opportunistically rather than altruistically.

Re: The bowerbirds of Australia derive their name from

The deeper I go into the questions and try to understand them the more confused I get. At the end, I will just guess randomly because there are too many contradictory rules. Okay - in your last example the fact IS that I ate too many donuts. Or lets say it algebraically: FACT = eat too many donuts A...

Re: Kernland imposes a high tariff on the export of unprocessed

D actually strengthens the argument. The argument assumes that fewer people will be unemployed in urban areas if cashew processors have access to cashews at artificially low prices. D suggests that this assumption is true. I don't get where you found this conclusion. I thought the conclusion is: li...

Lysosomal storage diseases

Lysosomal storage diseases form a category of genetic disorders resulting from defective enzymes that normally function to break down unneeded molecules in cells. These enzymes do their work in the lysosome, a small compartment in a cell analogous to a garbage disposal. When any one of the lysosomal...
