Di can be a few options: OG2024 online tool, mba.com or DI sub-forum
In OG 2024 PDF, the DI section includes only only DS questions, it excluded Graph, Mutri Resoning, two sets questions.
I think its high time to import and work on developing New Questions in DI inline with Practise tests and Pratice question bank of Official Gmat

Hi I recently started my preps for GMAT Focus Edition, currently I am completing all the GMAT Ninja videos to give me a head start. I noted that the comprehension Q’s can be lengthy and we do not have the option of highlighting or annotating on the screen. It would also be time consuming to write down points on a paper. Whats your best tip for those preparing. Also, I’m more of a number person so while I enjoy reading, I can struggle with the details in word passages, any tips?

Posting this question in the group with hopes that others who may have struggled or who struggles with it can benefit from the tips.

How can the ‘city’ open the process?

The pronoun ‘it’ has no proper antecedent. So, A,B and E are out. Between C and D, parallelism is maintained in D. Although D does not sound right, it seems like the answer.

RC is not about memorizing every detail in the reading passages. Engaged reading is crucial. Focus on the passage's structure, the different perspectives presented, the main idea, and the author's tone. This way, you'll understand the passage's essence and can quickly go back to find specific details when answering the questions.
If you come across a key point or a term that you definitely want to remember and reference later, jot down the key word or phrase, along with the paragraph number, for easy reference.

Thanks for responding. I was thinking of ways to strategize as I watch GMAT Ninja videos. Half way through their RC videos. Would it help if I read the Question first then the passage to help me understand better where to focus?

Actually, I wouldn’t recommend reading the question before the passage. I totally get the urge to find strategies that might give you an edge on the GMAT RC sections. However, from my experience, the best approach is pretty straightforward: just read the passage through once and then tackle the questions, referring back to the passage if you need to for those detail-heavy questions.

Try to avoid skimming, paying disproportionate attention to the beginning and end of paragraphs, or speed reading. Instead, dive into the passage with genuine interest. Focus on understanding the structure, tone, main idea, different perspectives presented, and the author’s purpose. This way, you’ll be well-prepared to answer the questions that follow. Remember to read with curiosity—it can make a big difference!

Until recently, quinoa was farmed via traditional methods that are relatively benign in terms of their effects on the environment. However, as quinoa, which contains key nutrients in high concentrations, has become increasingly popular, in order to produce quinoa in greater quantities, quinoa farmers have been shifting to using commercial farming methods that have significant negative effects on the environment. Therefore, people concerned about the environment should curtall their quinoa consumption and eat other foods Instead.

Which of the following is an assumption upon which the logic of the above argument relles?

a)It would be possible for quinoa farmers to meet current demand by using traditional farming methods on farms that utilize large land areas.
b)There are other foods that contain the nutrients that quinoa contains in the exact same concentrations.
c)The commercial farming methods used for farming quinoa are more detrimental to the environment than are the methods used for farming other food crops.
d)Quinoa farmers were better off before increasing demand for quinoa catalyzed the shift to farming quinoa via modern commercial farming methods.
e)Quinoa would not be as popular as it is If more people were aware of the environmental effects of quinoa farming.

Answer (c), but why not (b)?

Why not e? If people were made aware of the environmental effects of quinoa farming it will become less popular and therefore will switch to other foods?
