Rishi.gupta

Hello everyone, my name is Rishi and want to prepare for the GMAT, but I don’t know where I have to start, which book I have to purchase, and which coaching I have to join. I will be grateful if anyone will me with this. If anyone wants then they can directly contact me at this no. 9644933334.

hey try the CR and RC questions first and check with a diagnostic mock test -- mba.com has 2 practice tests for free -- then you can decide next steps basis how much prep is required

Can anyone help me with the question 1 of this passage. The answer explantation given below does not look satisfying to me .

The author mentions about the learning curve in the introduction para of the passage so its something new that the author wants to discuss...Then there is a marker word "However" which tends to present something new and different from what the author introduced...Combining these two set of info we can go for option C

Hope this helps

But C option says “an alternative “ there is no alternative given. Rest paragraphs says that this may not be continuous and explains more in details but there is no specific alternative.

Why answer A is not possible

But answer A says “analysed”. It’s been analysed later that the the process is discontinuous …

Am I thinking wrong here ?

The author suggested alternative in para 3 "Managers who anticipate and plan for intense user activity when a new technology is first introduced are better able to....."

Oh, but I do see quant question of the day.

srijasinha

Can anyone help me with the question 1 of this passage. The answer explantation given below does not look satisfying to me .

Hi, srijasinha!

The author of the passage most likely mentions "the learning curve" in the highlighted text for which of the following reasons?

A. To introduce a concept that is then analyzed in greater detail
B. To explain an assumption that underlies a subsequent recommendation
C. To identify a model to which an alternative is then proposed
D. To illustrate the wide variety of models that describe the way in which people gain knowledge
E. To cite a now-outdated theory about the way in which people learn

This is the question, right?

Answer A is wrong because he has not analyzed the concept of learning curve later. He has in fact said, ,"However, when a new technology is introduced into a particular sector of a company, the process of learning about and modifying that technology may not, in fact, be continuous. " After that he goes on to talk about what he feels to be true. Clearly, he is not in favour of learning curve. The sentence with the phrase itself says it is a familiar model which presumes that learners gain knowledge in a continuous and highly regular progression over time.

Answer B is tricky because it has words from the very same sentence, but the overall meaning is not in line with the author’s intent. It is also therefore wrong.

C says, a model is identified. And that is exactly what learning curve is as per the statement. It is a model. So, no reason to eliminate. And has he gone ahead and proposed an alternative model? Of course he has! The second para tells us, The period of intense activity by users is typically followed by one in which users return their attention to their customary production tasks, though using the new technology to accomplish those tasks." While has has not named his model, this is surely an alternative to the learning curve.

’wide variety of models’ in D makes it worth eliminating.

E is actually opposite to what is given because it implies the learning curve is now outdated. However, the passage says it is a familiar model.

Hence, C is the right answer.
