Great tips and I can see where I'm going wrong. On 8:07 I was torn between C and E. C makes logical sense, but E looked good because I saw the word "Construction" despite also coming to the conclusion that expanding into the swamp area would actually lead to more cases. I need to make sure I don't fall victim to "buzzwords".

8:07 Although the answer is true, the explanation that is given could lead people down rabbit-holes in other questions. There is nothing that indicates that it MUST BE the tourists themselves that have changed. The ONLY thing we are given, is that the mosquito population did not decline, and that the population of tourists increased. This means that there has to be a change to the infection rates of either an individual person, or an individual mosquito. In other words, it could be that the mosquitoes themselves have changed, causing a lower percentage of them to cause swamp fever. For example their population might have increased with 10%, but they might have become 20% less infectuous, leading to a decline in swamp fever illnesses. It does not necessarily have to be the case that tourists have changed - sending people into the answers with such a pre-conceived notion in their minds is exactly what the GMAT wants to do, and it could often lead you to wrong answers.

How do we derive the most appropriate answer on the CR without reading all answer choices?

@Fede45454 6 ай бұрын

Look at question. Look at the argument. Look at the reasoning and find how the reasoning or lack of reasoning fits into question. It almost answers itself especially on easy to medium

I have a doubt....in the third sc question announced is past tense..so how " will be" is correct?

@TheJrw456 5 жыл бұрын

It is because the verb "announced" shows that something must happen in the future. This isn't always the case, but it happens to be what the sentence is implying. Take this sentence for example: "John has announced that we will perform very well this year." John announced this statement in the past, but he is predicting that the team will perform well in the future. The sentence is past tense, but the implication is that they WILL BE performing well in the future. Does this make sense?

@bishal205 5 жыл бұрын

@@TheJrw456 Thanks for your reply....but if something is in the past tense like announced don't we use "would"? For eg., John said that he would not play tomorrow and if the sentence is like "Jon says that he will not play ever again"..because says is present then we should use will. Where am I wrong?

@TheJrw456 5 жыл бұрын

bishal nahata Good observation! “Would” and “will” have very small differences, and this can be confirmed here learnenglish.britishcouncil.org/english-grammar-reference/will-and-would#skip-link It is best to understand that in this context, the words are interchangeable and are both grammatically correct. In this context, “John said that he will not play tomorrow” implies that John will definitely still not play tomorrow. If we used “John said that he would not play tomorrow” it could imply that in the past he did not want to play, but something potentially has changed.

Are these 700 Plus level difficulty questions?

Not all are 700 level. It's a mixed set of different difficulty level questions.

12:16 How is E the right answer instead of C? He mentions we don't know about the ruler in C but that seems silly as C specifically states "at that time" while E doesn't mention the specific time period in the question and could be referring to any time period.

C can't be right because it says that the farmers were ordered to grow wheat but in the text is specifically states that they had the option to grow other crops. If they are being ordered, they no longer have the option.

@vardanrathi7777 9 ай бұрын

I too chose C will solving the Question. The problem with option C is it may be logically correct but we are still left with the question that why did the ruler only choose Wheat? The ruler could have ordered to grow only rice or something else. So this option still leaves a query. Option E is specific and leaves no further questions.
