Hey all,

On page 652, answer explanation of question #113 of CR section, in the 2nd line of the 'Situation' paragraph (just under the main title ' Argument Construction'), there seems to be an error:
"since its tariffs on Borondian TV's" indeed must be "since its tariffs on Vernlandian TV's". Yep?!

Dear apolo,
I'm happy to respond. :-) Yes, that's definitely a typo. The identical mistake appears in the OG13. You might try to submit feedback at mba.com.
Best of luck to you in your studies!
Mike :-)

Page 275, Verbal Review, 2nd Edition (Explanation for choice B):
"Because the themes of Dove’s poetry encompass the human condition and deal with racial issues, there is no
need to make this a compound sentence by introduce a new grammatical subject, she, in a final clause."

Isn't the word 'introduce' here wrong? It should be introducing?!

Dear apolo,
Yes, my friend, you are perfectly correct. That's another bonafide typo in the official material. As you say, it should be "introducing."

As I have said before, the questions in the official material have been tested and vetted at multiple stages: they are impeccable. By contrast, explanations in the OG have not been tested in front of students, have not been vetted by anything other than probably a couple folks looking them over. Very few pieces of written material on earth have been tested as thoroughly as the GMAT questions: inevitably, there's going to be a drop in quality when we move from their questions to their explanations.

Does all this make sense?
Mike :-)

Thanks Mike for your help.
That seems logical. exam tests must be as flawless as possible, because they are used in real exam that is meant to measure test-takers abilities, knowledge, etc., as precisely as possible. Explanations, however, are far less important than questions themselves.
I think GMAC can count on me as a reviewer of their explanations, as I read their explanations word by word. Perhaps I should talk to them :)
