yea? How come? :)
Isn't the formatting you now recommend is what I used in my answers for the very first paragraph that you posted? I thought that's where you got the idea from because no one else was using it before. :P
Do I have this wrong? :)

First of all you haven't answer the first passage as you replied only to the second passage I have posted on the first day. Here is the link.

https://gmatclub.com/forum/gmat-club-s- ... 07680.html

Second. If I am not wrong you are talking about the answer you posted here

https://gmatclub.com/forum/gmat-club-s- ... l#p3165784

Third. I never copied any format or idea whatsoever. The format I recommended is being followed since last two years. You can visit an explanation posted under 2021 competition here in the link below.

https://gmatclub.com/forum/as-the-propo ... l#p2694882

https://gmatclub.com/forum/as-the-propo ... l#p2695168

also here

All these format are way better than yours.

Hope the misunderstanding is now cleared.

oops, I didn't use the red color there? hahaha, I thought I did coz I usually tend to follow this read/green formatting. :)
I guess I am just too tired and thinking things; need sleep. :)

Btw, I can't find the leaders board/scoreboard. Wanted to see if it's too late for me to now participate in this competition. :)

Please accept a sincere, heartfelt appreciation for the herculean efforts towards creation, posting, and evaluation of the RC passages for this competition.

Indeed, all of us got immensely benefited by analyzing these RC passages, and thereafter attempting to solve the questions embedded therein.

Everyday, I looked forward to the 'correct' solutions posted under Sajjad1994 banner. This exercise, over the past 10 days, has assisted us a lot towards improving the RC skills; but, more important, it assisted us to develop the thinking process while carrying out the analysis of these medium & hard level RC passages.

Will wait for the IR competition from your fabled stable. Looking forward to hone the IR skills as well, under your able guidance.

Immensely grateful..

Thank you! and congrats to everyone who participated in this quiz

Here is the final result with the overall standings of the participants

GMAT Club RC Quiz-I 2023

PS: Participants from serial 6-8 are ineligible to receive any prize as they have provided explanations for fewer than five passages.

I have updated the following:

  • Topic names of the passages as per the RC sub-forum rules
  • All links
  • Source tags
  • Difficulty Level tags

Below is the summary of what you have got served during the Quiz days.



*Ten passages labeled with the "GMAC Official source" tag have been sourced from the Vstudy Book, a pre-2000 GMAT practice question book. According to the book, these questions are purported to be official GMAC material. After conducting research, it has been determined that a significant majority, if not all, of the questions are of good quality and may indeed originate from the official source. Therefore, the "GMAC Official source" tag has been added to the passages based on this research and the likelihood that they are official material. However, it cannot be claimed with complete certainty that these questions are 100% official.

The aforementioned passages were originally in JPG format. In order to make them copyable, I utilized OCR software to convert the images into text. Next, I pasted the text into a Microsoft Word document to identify any spelling or grammatical errors and subsequently removed any such errors. Although the JPG images were not entirely clear and may contain typos, I made every effort to ensure that the resulting text was of high quality, as I believe this would be of value to our members.

The following are the winners with prizes they won.



Winners can reach out to me via PM for the prize access within three months starting from today.

Let me know your thoughts, feedback, or suggestions.

Best Regards
Sajjad

Congratulations to all the winners.
Special Thanks to Sajjad1994 for taking all the pain to post such high quality passages and an assortment of questions. This has definitely raised our learning curve.
And thanks to GMATCLUB team for giving us opportunity to learn in a fun way.

Sajjad1994 - I understand that one user should explain all the questions in one post to maintain orderliness, but the amount of effort to post a RC explanation is much more than what is required for other sections. So please consider giving extra kudos or extra points for the correct explanations. This will make RC more attractive and also encourage participation.
Thank you.
