Hello,
I've looked over these questions a few times but am still struggling!
This was #1 on my second verbal section:
"Though somewhat less __ than previous chapters and suffering from a minor hint of academic jargon, the final chapter of the book is nonetheless __ to laypeople."
The choices for blank i are: "arcane, coherent, and subjective". For blank ii they are "largely ignored by, accessible to, and impenetrable to". The second blank is clearly "accessible to," but the sentence makes sense with either "arcane" or "coherent" for the first blank?
#16 from my second verbal section (I paraphrased):
A newspaper editorial says that Mayor Stephens has a new anti-corruption campaign. The officials he is prosecuting happen to be appointees of rival and former governor Mayor Bixby, so they suggest that Mayor Stephens is prosecuting them because of their political affiliation. Which weakens the argument?
The correct answer is C, that all appointees were appointed by Mayor Bixby, but to me this sounds like it is strengthening the argument?
Thank you!!
