Hi but don’t you think that option E weakens the conclusion that town S is more aware than town T cuz if the price of Newspapers is less people are more likely to buy them and conversely town T people are more likely to share the papers from each other rather than buying.

E is not saying anything about sharing or about awareness of price
It just says about the avg prices

The start of the para already gives that one place has more newspaper than another so the dynamics of price and demand aren’t relevant as we already have final qty
Hope this makes sense

I cannot access any GMAT FOCUS edition study material on mba.com
I am from India.
I am trying to purchase the practice test exams 3 & 4 but cannot see them in the ’all GMAT prep’ section.
Whereas, if I logout and visit the prep section all are available
Anybody aware of this issue?

Vastly enriched by long years of professional experience, employees over 50 contribute as much as do their younger counterparts to an organization’s success, yet Difficulty - Hard

A - This option is correct because structure is IC, but (FANBOY) IC. Modifier vastly enriched is correctly placed near noun Employees over 50. Subject verb agreement Employees - contribute.
B - Modifier incorrectly placed next to noun organization instead of employees. Incorrect.
C - 2nd IC missing. Yet being so maligned is a Dependent Clause. Incorrect structure.
D - Meaning error - As their younger counterparts, employees - could me employees over 50 are younger counterparts of youth.
E - 2nd IC missing. Yet so maligned is a Dependent clause. Incorrect structure.

Therefore, option A is the correct answer.

D) is critical to the maintenance of democratic institutions in the United States. E) might be achieved through multiple rounds of elections.

In Para 1, through the use of 30 election results, the author says that the current process is not making the most popular candidate President. Then he goes on to say this "Proposed alternatives include multiple rounds of elections, “approval voting,” and “rank voting.” Notice the use of "and". We cannot surely conclude which alternative is better of the two unless the author has given opinion in the subsequent paragraphs. But on reading the last para we can see that he doesn’t claim one to be better than the other. So, what we can surely infer is that to get the popular candidate we would need multiple rounds of elections in either of the system. Therefore, option E is the correct answer.

B - everyone (singular noun) = their (plural pronoun). Incorrect.
C - everyone (singular noun) = their (plural pronoun). Incorrect.
D - not concise, best structure - to signal how no one can get away with committing ...
get away with should be followed by a noun - here it is present participial phrase.
E - everyone (singular noun) = his/her (singular pronoun). Correct. Concise.

Therefore, option E is the answer.

A growing number of developed and developing countries are calling for urgent changes to the World Bank and other publicly funded finance institutions, which they say have failed to provide the funding needed to help poor countries cut their greenhouse gas emissions and adapt to the impacts of the climate crisis. Is this Sentence Grammatically correct?

Re: Verbal Question of the Day Chat Group [#permalink]
Mate, the very first mistake I can see here: A growing number demands a singular verb, whereas you have used "are", which is incorrect

Better we use another comma pairs after "which" and they say (after finance institutions) because it kinda feels run on. Not a deterministic error but still a better structure I feel.
