Re: SC: Though Frank Lloyd Wright is best remembered

it's incorrect, not just "awkward", to say "the guggenheim museum's in new york city". you can't use a possessive with an apostrophe ('s or s') if the noun is followed by modifiers . for instance, jim's reputation is more negative than the other man's --> correct jim's reputa...

Re: However much United States voters may agree that.....

I have two questions, and would appreciate help with them! 1) why is the omission of that is incorrect in option D? is it because it violates the rule of parallelism (as that is apparent in the second half of the sentence after and), or is it because omitting that would change the meaning of the fir...

Re: Altough the Argentine Ant...

I am having trouble identifying whether a sentence is a modifier; in the previous sentence, for example, "Although the Argentine ant is neither poisonous nor predatory, individual colonies" I thought that the first phrase "Although the Argentine ant is neither poisonous nor predatory,...

Re:

On the GMAT, unlike in the "real world," consider stands alone. Consider to , consider to be , consider as - actually consider (anything) - are incorrect! -dan is that because "consider to be" is grammatically incorrect? or is that just a GMAT rule? Cambridge dictionary gives th...

Re: over 75% of the energy produced in france derives from

Hi, instructors, I have a question about choice A. "while in Germany it is just over 33%" I think in choice A, the "it" is not ambiguous because "it" is in a subordinate clause, and it will clearly refer the subject of the main clause. Can you clarify it? I agree. I th...
