you need to eliminate wrong answer choices that have clear and strong issues. A has SV issue - The are a group........... B has same issue as in A - Getting together on the weekends are ............... Here "Getting together on the weekends" should be singular, so verb should be is. Also C has SV issue - A group ............. like........... In E - if "who" modifies "a group", than "likes" is alright but it has parallelism issue- .............likes ....................and helping ............. But if "who" modifies "kids ", than "likes" is incorrect. D has least issue, hence correct choice. without comma "who" modifies nearest subject. so in D "who" clearly modifies "kids"

Q1. Clearly, while comparing two companies, higher sales do not necessarily indicate higher profits. A recently published article in a prominent business magazine shows that the top ten names on the list of companies with the highest sales and the corresponding names on the list of companies with the highest profits are mutually exclusive. Which of the following can properly be inferred based on the above statements? (A) While comparing two companies, the company with higher sales is more likely to have lower profits. (B) It is highly likely that two companies with different sales have the same profit margin. (C) Sales and profits have no correlation. (D) While comparing two companies, lower sales do not by themselves indicate lower profits. (E) In order to compete in the market, it is better for a company to have higher profits than higher sales.

Q2. Two different concepts, copyright infringement and plagiarism, are often confused for each other. Copyright infringement deals with the unauthorized use of copyright material and hence the violation of the rights of the copyright holder. Plagiarism, on the other hand, is concerned with false claims of authorship of ideas, works etc. that may not necessarily be protected under copyright. Moreover, even if a person gets the permission to use copyright material, it may still account for plagiarism if the person tries to falsely claim the authorship of the material. Which of the following must be true on the basis of the information given in the above argument? A. Plagiarism may not always amount to copyright infringement but copyright infringement always amounts to plagiarism. B. Any unauthorized use of material that has been protected under copyright will be considered plagiarism. C. Under certain conditions, use of copyright free material can still be considered plagiarism. D. Even authorized use of copyright material amounts to plagiarism. E. In a court of law, it is easier to prove a case of copyright infringement than a case of plagiarism.

CR Questions February - 25 :

Q1. For students, the time spent playing sports after regular classes is time not spent studying. Moreover, constant engagement with sports is a cause of less familiarity with the course curriculum for many students, even though it is a fact that extracurricular activities help mould a well-rounded individual. Therefore, students who spend more than average time in playing sports are less proficient in their course curriculum than other students.

Which of the following statements best supports the above argument?


(A) Students who do not regularly play sports may occasionally indulge in binge-watching popular dramas.

(B) Studies have proven that students regularly playing sports are not likely to show interest in studying the topics included in their curriculum

(C) A well-rounded individual divides his time among multiple activities to gain acceptable proficiency in each of them rather than devoting time to master only one or two.

(D) Engaging with course curriculum is the significant other alternative activity for students who do not spend more than average time playing sports.

(E) Typically, the students who win the maximum number of awards in sports are less familiar with their course curriculum than the students who show disinterest in sports.

Q2. Customers are aware that most of the faults that arise in their mobile phones are due to the excessive exposure of these phones to moisture or water. Accordingly, engineers at Talkit Inc. have developed a water-resistant phone that can stay underwater for at least 30 minutes without any resultant damage to either its hardware or software. However, since the manufacturing cost of the phone is anywhere between 25-30% more than that of an ordinary phone, trade analysts have predicted that the phone will be very expensive and as such not be able to find enough customers.

Which of the following, if true, argues in favor of the assertion that the analysts’ prediction is premature?

(A) The manufacturing cost of the water-resistant phone is less than that of most high-end smartphones.

(B) The phone has a built-in high-resolution camera that can match if not beat the quality of the usual 8-megapixel camera the regular phones come with.

(C) According to several recent surveys of consumers, people looking to purchase a new phone are unlikely to buy models that are more expensive than most popular models.

(D) The latest tests done at Talkit Inc. have indicated that the water-resistant phone can actually withstand at least forty minutes of remaining underwater.

(E) The average repair cost of a regular phone in its lifetime is anywhere from 30%-35% of its original selling price

It’s a bit of a tricky sentence

The subject is "a group" which must be singular. However, because "a group" is modified by "of kids" which is plural, the phrase "who like" must refer to the "of kids" because it cannot logically refer to "a group". Sometimes modifiers modify other modifiers. Sometimes they can reach back (for example, if it was "who likes" it would be referring to "a group").

Well. the timeframe is conveyed by "had been". Even if we were to remove "initially" completely, even then the meaning wouldn’t change at all. For eg, "The entire project took over three years to complete, a much longer time frame than the one that had been given by the building’s architect." The meaning didn’t change? right? :) So that’s why I thought that since initially modifies given, we should prioritize adverb modifier’s closeness rather than the comparison’s closeness. :P But ofcourse, I could be wrong. :) What do you think? What are your opinions on this? :)

You are correct that "initially" is not an essential modifier, however the placement of "initially" in B is far more logical than the one in A. Otherwise, the two sentences are completely identical. I would not stress too much over this question

D. There "is" a group of kids in our neighborhood who like to get together on the weekends and help less fortunate children.
I am talking about this "is". Is it’s usage correct?

Well, this all is fine but my question was more about the usage of "is". On one hand, we are saying that the group is singular by using "is" and on the other hand we are using "like", a plural.? If we are using "kids" for the word "like" than is using "is" appropriate?
That’s what I was confused about.

you cant say, "There are a group............". in that choice, "like" acts as verb of the modifier, subject of which is "kids". Separate Main sentence from modifier. so you can differentiate between them

I was at first leaning towards E but there are two "by"s in it in a row. On the other hand, "Ensuring Using" doesn’t sound as good as "Ensuring by using." So if the two bys are not considered an issue then I think E would win. :P

A and B suffer from meaning issues. Using the approach ensures an objective analysis, the approach itself is not an objective analysis. C implies that problem solving is the scentific method. Not quite.

E has a meaning issue - applying the method improves by ensuring? Not quite.

Should be D. the method improves results by using a standard approach for problem solving - clear meaning

mysterymanrog, hmm, interesting. :) Yea, you are right. Also, A and E had grammar issues as well. Even though D looked perfect in grammar terms but the issue that I had with it was more about logic. I guess I thought that "Applying the scientific method" shouldn’t be followed by "Using a standardized approach" because both have a similar meaning. But ofcourse, I stand corrected. :) Thanks :)

Q1. For students, the time spent playing sports after regular classes is time not spent studying. Moreover, constant engagement with sports is a cause of less familiarity with the course curriculum for many students, even though it is a fact that extracurricular activities help mould a well-rounded individual. Therefore, students who spend more than average time in playing sports are less proficient in their course curriculum than other students. Which of the following statements best supports the above argument? (A) Students who do not regularly play sports may occasionally indulge in binge-watching popular dramas. (B) Studies have proven that students regularly playing sports are not likely to show interest in studying the topics included in their curriculum (C) A well-rounded individual divides his time among multiple activities to gain acceptable proficiency in each of them rather than devoting time to master only one or two. (D) Engaging with course curriculum is the significant other alternative activity for students who do not spend more than average time playing sports. (E) Typically, the students who win the maximum number of awards in sports are less familiar with their course curriculum than the students who show disinterest in sports.

Q2. Customers are aware that most of the faults that arise in their mobile phones are due to the excessive exposure of these phones to moisture or water. Accordingly, engineers at Talkit Inc. have developed a water-resistant phone that can stay underwater for at least 30 minutes without any resultant damage to either its hardware or software. However, since the manufacturing cost of the phone is anywhere between 25-30% more than that of an ordinary phone, trade analysts have predicted that the phone will be very expensive and as such not be able to find enough customers. Which of the following, if true, argues in favor of the assertion that the analysts’ prediction is premature? (A) The manufacturing cost of the water-resistant phone is less than that of most high-end smartphones. (B) The phone has a built-in high-resolution camera that can match if not beat the quality of the usual 8-megapixel camera the regular phones come with. (C) According to several recent surveys of consumers, people looking to purchase a new phone are unlikely to buy models that are more expensive than most popular models. (D) The latest tests done at Talkit Inc. have indicated that the water-resistant phone can actually withstand at least forty minutes of remaining underwater. (E) The average repair cost of a regular phone in its lifetime is anywhere from 30%-35% of its original selling price

CR Questions March - 1 :

Q1. In order to control the deer population, a biologist has proposed injecting female deer during breeding season with 10 milligrams of a hormone that would suppress fertility. Critics have charged that the proposal poses health risks to people who might eat the meat of treated deer and thereby ingest unsafe quantities of the hormone. The biologist has responded to these critics by pointing out that humans can ingest up to 10 milligrams of the hormone a day without any adverse effects, and since no one would eat even one entire deer a day, the treatment would be safe.

The biologist’s response to critics of the proposal is based on which one of the following assumptions?

(A) People would be notified of the time when deer in their area were to be treated with the hormone.
(B) The hormone that would be injected into the deer is chemically similar to hormones used in human contraceptives.
(C) Hunting season for deer could be scheduled so that it would not coincide with breeding season.
(D) The hormone in question does not occur naturally in the female deer that would be injected.
(E) Most people do not consider deer meat to be part of their daily diet and eat it only on rare occasions.

Q2. In 2005, more citizens from the country of Monrovia migrated from Monrovia to neighboring Abstania than during any prior year. In 2005, the number of reported violent crimes in Abstania increased dramatically over 2004. The unavoidable conclusion is that Monrovians who migrated from Monrovia to Abstania were responsible for this increase.

Which of the following statements, if true, would most seriously weaken the claim that Monrovians were responsible for the increase in violent crime in Abstania during 2005?


(A) Each year more violent criminals are apprehended in Abstania than in Monrovia.

(B) During 2005, more violent crimes were reported in Abstania than in Monrovia.

(C) In 2005, no Monrovians migrated from either Monrovia or Abstania to any country other than Monrovia or Abstania.

(D) In 2005, the number of unreported violent crimes in Abstania increased as well.

(E) In 2005, fewer Monrovians migrated from Monrovia to Abstania than from Abstania to Monrovia.
