Sorry for the delayed response.

I don't know the source of all the questions, but the links are as follows: [4th one is definitely official]
1. https://gmatclub.com/forum/advertisers- ... 15464.html
2. https://gmatclub.com/forum/despite-all- ... 67046.html
3. https://gmatclub.com/forum/over-the-las ... 53344.html
4. https://gmatclub.com/forum/qotd-meat-fr ... 52790.html

Could you please suggest whether these are worth spending time on?

Regards

My turn to apologize for the slow response! Honestly, I wouldn't worry at all about any of them, other than the very last one -- the OG question. And even that one is pretty tough, so I wouldn't assume that it's a sign that you're fundamentally struggling on "evaluate the argument" questions. If you feel like you really don't fundamentally understand how those questions work, that might be reason to worry -- but of the four you mentioned, three are of very dubious quality. :)


Thank you for pointing that out sire. I don't fundamentally doubt my understanding but wasn't able to solve those 4. Your last sentence made my life better than before :-D
Thank you very much sensie.
Have a good day !!

a. Two million pounds were spent for the construction of this dam.
b. Two million pounds was spent for the construction of this dam.

Which of the above sentences is correct?

Please help me...

Sorry everybody, we're postponing this week's session to THURSDAY at the usual time. Thanks to a horrendous traffic jam between Pune and Bombay, our esteemed producer is unavailable to perform his usual duties on Wednesday. The 148-km journey, I'm told, might take a total of 34 hours.

Or something like that. The numbers are approximate. ;)

See you all on THURSDAY at 7:30 a.m. Pacific/9:00 p.m. IST!

Hi gmatbusters,

Statement 1: Two million pounds were --> here the subject becomes "individual pound currency notes". This is nonsensical because you had spent the amount and not notes.

So statement 2 should be correct, because the implicit meaning is "the amount was spent on construction".

Hope that helps.

Hi GMATNinja,

Question about your reasoning of "Springfield Fire Commissioner" in your GMAT Critical Reasoning #2 LIVE w/GMAT Ninja: Beyond Strengthen, Weaken, & Assumption Questions (@approx. 10min mark):

Wouldn't E also strengthen? If, on any given day, a significant % of public telephones are out of service, this means that people cannot use them. Therefore, the removal of telephone boxes won't "hamper people's ability to report a file". It seems to reinforce the conclusion.

Thanks for your video. It is a great help!
