Verbal Question of the Day Chat Group

shuvamp, i will be giving my exam around the same time(classic edition)

Great score

how did you prepare for DI?

I used complementary TTP material for 5 days and practised all DI tests after that I brought official DI question bank and trust me the official DI material is really helpful.
As I was timing around 2.5 minute to 3 minutes and this Official material helped to improve my timing through practise mode

A very rookie doubt. Will colleges like isb have a low cutoff now for people giving focus edition. I mesn profile matters but like initially it was 700+ advisable. What would change with focus edition, any idea?

how difficult is quant as compared to mocks

how was DS part in official. and how similar were mocks?

Alright. Are the questions in official DI set different from what we get in OG material?

Hey, could you tell us if TTP DI material was helpful in any way?

I am looking for a study buddy for Gmat current edition. planning to take the test December end sometime.

can anyone confirm correct answer? It’s between C and E for me. tho E loses the pronoun and makes it less ambiguous. So I would have guessed E.

I am wrong, E can’t be the one because of incorrect use of verb have. it has to be singular because of as well as. So it leaves D as the best option by elimination.

We can do it together

Q1 - A. E’s verb agreement is wrong
Q2 -A. E is unidiomatic. It sounds weird to say contribute to significantly increase. It’s more idiomatic to say "contribute to ’a noun’" in this context

As per me A is the right choice. All independent clause is saying: Women do not loose V fat as efficiently as men do( comparing action done by women & men).
However I have a doubt on the validity of the question itself! As per my learning Due to is never used to show an action, but here due to is used to show the action ( women lose V fat), better we use Because of the difference in physiology, women who....bla bla

No errors in the original choice. Clearly the answer is A.
