Hi all. Anyone has experience with using PowerScore Critical Reasoning bible as a complementary practice material?

I’m considering picking it up since I’ve gone through most of the OG questions already and looking to improve my CR/Verbal score. How is Powerscore CR bible compared to other books like the one from Manhattan Prep?

In choice A, we can establish a correlation that increase in the human population and not the increase in alligator population might have led to increase in the number of sightings . In Choice C and other options, such a correlation cannot be established.

Answers seem to be D and B

Why would it be D and not C?

On hindsight C seems to be the right choice, keyword being “often” in the answer choice. I went with D to correlate the outside usage but that is weakening it

D says computers are more mobile as compared to laptops. Does it really make any difference except for the fact that I wasted my money on laptop;

Which is the correct answer?

I would say it is E. If it is true the statement, it would have been difficult to determine that the appearance of alligators on golf courses had increased dramatically, as the sightings had occured at times at which few people were present.

if there are more sightings in less crowded people, it actually strengthens the argument that alligator population has increased.

Sorry for the typo earlier,
if there are more sightings in less crowded place, it actually strengthens the argument that alligator population might have increased.

CR Questions March - 6 :

Q1. A certain experimental fungicide causes no harm to garden plants, though only if it is diluted at least to ten parts water to one part fungicide. Moreover, this fungicide is known to be so effective against powdery mildew that it has the capacity to eliminate it completely from rose plants. Thus this fungicide, as long as it is sufficiently diluted, provides a means of eliminating powdery mildew from rose plants that involves no risk of harming the plants.

Which one of the following is an assumption on which the argument depends?


(A) There is not an alternative method, besides application of this fungicide. for eliminating powdery mildew from rose plants without harming the plants.

(B) When the fungicide is sufficiently diluted it does not present any risk of harm to people, animals. or beneficial insects.

(C) Powdery mildew is the only fungal infection that affects rose plants.

(D) If a fungicide is to be effective against powdery mildew on rose plants, it must eliminate the powdery mildew completely.

(E) The effectiveness of the fungicide does not depend on its being more concentrated than one part in ten parts of water.



Difficulty - Hard

Q2. The Department of Homeland Security has proposed new federal requirements for driver’s licenses that would allow them to be used as part of a national identification system. Using licenses for purposes not directly related to operating a motor vehicle is un-American because it would require U.S. citizens to carry the equivalent of “papers.” Such a requirement would allow the government to restrict their movements and activities in the manner of totalitarian regimes. In time, this could make other limits on freedom acceptable.

The author assumes which of the following?


(A) The next presidential election will be dishonest, as has happened in eastern European countries.

(B) The government will soon start curtailing the activities of those it considers “dissidents.”

(C) Blanket restrictions on law-abiding individuals are contrary to the traditions of American culture and law.

(D) The majority of Americans are not willing to give up their right to travel and move about without identification.

(E) Americans should resist all government regulation of their lives.
