I always think this site is the premier GMAT Q&A destination.
Thank you Manhattan Staff.

My Question:

Is the "that" in Choice C acts as both the object of "most scientists agree" and the "that" in the relative clause to modify "a phenomenon..."

Hi,

Is "were" omitted in Choice E after "...her lobbying for wage and hour reform?" Because the second "were" is the same as the first "were".

Hi,

Since irradiation is no worse than cooking, if cooking is worse than irradiation, the proponents' argument is then misleading.

So why D is wrong?

Thanks!

What does it mean by "providing a context"? What's your understanding of these words? I'm not trying to be an obstructionist here -- I just want to see how you're coming at this. "Providing a context" means, well, providing a context -- there's nothing tricky** here -- so, reall...

Hi, Is "were" omitted in Choice E after "...her lobbying for wage and hour reform?" Because the second "were" is the same as the first "were". Close. You're on the right idea, but the were should be was, and it would be more parallel to place this in front of...
