Verbal Question of the Day Chat Group

E

I was confused between B and E, but B it is.

IMO option E

Maybe E

For Q1 it is pretty clear that the ans is E

Q2 is very confusing though, IMO E or B

Is there any restriction on using has been twice in a sentence?

Using HAS after AS is fine?

For Q2 I’m asking

It’s B. The idiom ‘no less noteworthy than’ is structurally better than ‘no less noteworthy as’

B

For Q2, Choice B and E seem correct grammatically. But E emphases that invention of internet is more noteworthy whereas B emphases the democratisation by internet is more noteworthy. Hence, choice B seems correct to me.

CR Questions October - 15 :

Q1. Delta green ground beetles sometimes remain motionless for hours at a stretch, although they are more active in wet years than in dry years. In 1989 an observer spotted ten delta green ground beetles in nine hours; in 1985 the same observer at the same location had counted 38 in about two hours. This difference probably does not reflect a drop in the population of these rare beetles over this period, however, because 1985 was a wet year and 1989 was relatively dry.

Which one of the following, if true, most strongly supports the conclusion drawn above?


(A) Because of their excellent camouflage, delta green ground beetles are almost impossible to see if they are not moving.

(B) The only habitat of delta green ground beetles is around pools formed by the collection of winter rains in low-lying areas.

(C) Della green ground beetles move about very little to get food; most of their moving from one place to another is related to their reproductive behavior.

(D) Della green ground beetles are so rare that, although the first specimen was found in 1878, a second was not found until 1974.

(E) No predator relies on the delta green ground beetle for a major portion of its food supply.

Q2. Letter to the editor: Your article was unjustified in criticizing environmentalists for claiming that more wolves on Vancouver Island are killed by hunters than are born each year. You stated that this claim was disproven by recent studies that indicate that the total number of wolves on Vancouver Island has remained roughly constant for 20 years. But you failed to account for the fact that, fearing the extinction of this wolf population, environmentalists have been introducing new wolves into the Vancouver Island wolf population for 20 years.

Which one of the following most accurately expresses the conclusion of the argument in the letter to the editor?

(A) Environmentalists have been successfully maintaining the wolf population on Vancouver Island for 20 years.

(B) As many wolves on Vancouver Island are killed by hunters as are born each year.

(C) The population of wolves on Vancouver Island should be maintained by either reducing the number killed by hunters each year or introducing new wolves into the population.

(D) The recent studies indicating that the total number of wolves on Vancouver Island has remained roughly constant for 20 years were flawed.

(E) The stability in the size of the Vancouver Island wolf population does not warrant the article’s criticism of the environmentalists’ claim.


Difficulty - Hard

A seems appropriate.

IMO, E

D

E negates the premise

B

E

How could A be the correct ans

The argument says that 1985 was a wet year and 1989 was relatively dry. The conclusion is that the difference in count does not reflect a drop in the population. Given that the ground beetles are less active in dry areas, it is quite possible that if the beetles had some special characteristics, the observer’s count could have been erratic. We need to find a strengthener on the similar lines. Option A rightly says so.

This does not support the conclusion of wetness. The conclusion does not stop at the difference in count, it goes further to say it was because’85 was a wet year
