Let's test a "nice" even integer for x (say x = 0) and a nice odd integer for y (say y = 1)

We get....
(A) 3(0) + 4(1) - 1 = 3, which is ODD.
(B) 3(0) + 3(1) - 2 = 1, which is ODD.
(C) 4(0) + 4(1) + 1 = 5, which is ODD.
(D) 4(0) + 3(1) + 2 = 5, which is ODD.
(E) 4(0) + 3(1) + 1 = 4, which is EVEN.

Answer: E

Cheers,
Brent

x=4,y=3
(A) 3x + 4y - 1 = 3(4)+4(3)-1 = 23
(B) 3x + 3y - 2 = 3(4)+3(3)-2 = 19
(C) 4x + 4y + 1 = 4(4)+4(3)+1 = 29
(D) 4x + 3y + 2 = 4(4)+3(3)+2 = 27
(E) 4x + 3y + 1 = 3(4)+3(3)+1 =22

Option E.

You can also think in terms of even and odd, instead of picking number. Whatever works best for you!

Even times anything is even, so the first part of all of the answer choices are even. We need the second and third parts to either both be odd or both be even.

(A) Even - Odd ... Nope.
(B) Odd - Even ... Nope.
(C) Even + Odd ... Nope.
(D) Odd + Even ... Nope.
(E) Odd + Odd ... Yep!

Answer choice E.

B-schools couldn't care less about most of the content on the GMAT; the content is just a way to test how you think, not what you know. The two main sections of the GMAT are NOT Quantitative and Verbal. They are Quantitative REASONING and Verbal REASONING. Between the two section names, "Reasoning" appears twice; "Quantitative" and "Verbal" each appears once. ;)
