Re: MGMAT CAT Test question CR

Shouldn't the right choice explain a danger that cannot be prevented by conservation efforts, criminal penalties for harming these creatures, and an overabundance of SAVE THE MANATEE! bumper stickers ? Arguably, choice C can be prevented by criminal penalties. Hence I eliminated C and chose A, for ...

Re: MGMAT CAT 5 CR Question

Why not C? That statement reiterates what's there in the passage. As far as I think. Derive a conclusion is like the juice of what premise states. So why are we eliminating C? Is that because symptoms doesn't mean that its necessarily true to have a disease? or something else is there which I am ski...

Re: CR - Boldface - Libraries, which generally do not charge...

Apart from that Tim. Why is D wrong? The first is a prediction in support of the publishers(no fee=> little negative impact on sales); the second is evidence against that prediction( for which the critics are arguing).

Whats wrong with this reasoning??

Re: CR - Boldface - Libraries, which generally do not charge...

Two problems with D: 1) The first statement is not a prediction. It describes what has "traditionally" happened, not what may happen in the future. 2) The second statement is not evidence against the first. Although they are premises used by competing sides, the existing facts are not bei...

Re: research conducted at over 100 American universities

Agreed to the point. Why not D ? is it coz of uncertainity vs certainity? if thts the case then how do u identify the outcome ? as in many studies the outcome is certain as a predicted phenomenon while some studies / research predicts something that might hold true ?
