Verbal Question of the Day Chat Group

Its e

Can anyone confirm

1. E
2. E

They will provide the answer by the end of the day I guess

E is among the top of rejected choices because it goes against the premise. Author has already said that new radio sales were the highest, but E says sales of older version was even higher! So you cannot challenge the premise. Hence E is an easy sure shot rejection. However, D is the answer because it tells why even after old radio had lower sales, it was able generate more profit ( because of lower cost)

Well, j didn’t see anywhere author has seen new ones are highest ( explicitly) ,Author said that the profit on old ones was high than new ones so we can easily deduce that sales was definitely higher for old ones. So no way its a clear rejection.

Please explain it to me what do you mean by record high sales in general?

IMO, record high sales means surpassing every godamn sales, ever achieved by the company.

texas test prep is giving 20 gmat focus mocks for $30. if anyone is using their mocks please tell me whether their mocks are good or not

lol I seriously doubt someone could come up with 20 worthwhile mocks in such a short timeframe

and if they could, they wouldn’t be offering them all for $30

I would really strongly urge you all to stick to the official mocks. If you want to practice resilience then you can give Manhattan Prep mock and TTP mock, maybe even EGMAT but don’t stray outside of these three.

IMO E

I would say A but id not really like the way its written. Alternatively I’d go for E as a second option

hi , unable to find vedio explantion of rc is that avaible or not

Is c the correct answer

Answers

A Possible because the cost comparison ties into 2 things : maintenance of cost structure and post import price spike nexessitaing switch
B not rooted in given para
C the para doesn’t talk about no of growers
D again not relevant as as it relates to pre tax period
E Would like to avoid as amount of cane juice isn’t necessarily addressed in para but a good alternate to A

Between A and E - A bcs it has more points of synchronicity with para

Answer

A- Weakens as it introduces the idea that no if newspapers doesn’t necessarily relate to interest but greater population
B Weakens as it point out that all newspaper in A don’t go to all citizens in S
C Weakens as less time implies less information absorbed
D weakens - as the conclusion is about world events and this means the paper has less world event data
E Neither weaken nor strengthen as price isn’t relevant to news awareness

So E for Q2

My thought process
