Are these SC questions similar to what I expect to see on the GMAT? Assuming that I am doing well on the verbal part.

Can someone please explain to me this? The "rate of increase" is the subject of the phrase. Because it already refers to "increase" in the subject, you don't need to use fast, faster or greater. It's redundant.

Thanks for the explanation. I think I have a better understanding on how to modify "rate of increase"

Do these brutal questions actually have explanations? A simple letter answer does help me learn from my mistakes.

#22: Answer choice D has an extra "and" before "spending."
The link to the explanation of the answer does not have this additional word.

If anyone wants to find out the answer explanations, all of these questions are disscussed somewhere in gmatclub forum, if not please go to google and copy the question. You will definetly find the explanation.
By the way these questions are really hard. All of them are tricky.
