we need to use a nested list for this to make sense. Therefore, we need... have discovered that... and that...
ACE out.
B vs D.
B uses the -ing form of verbs, which is not required and incorrect here. the meaning changes that the thumbs are shortening and straightening during the evolutionary process. As if it’s all happening at the same time.
D has clear meaning, and uses the correct verb form.

A has subject verb issue. "trying to survive.. often spell" singular with plural. out.
B has modifier issue. The placement of in 1992 is not ideal. Did the attempt start in 1992, or did the local make a warning in 1992? its not clear. out.
C seems fine. keep
D seems fine. keep
E) has a meaning issue. the modifier after attempt makes it unclear what the attempt was. The sentence conveys the meaning that CM started his attempt, hoping that living off the land would prove possible. Attempt of what? it’s not clear. Out.
C vs D. D is more clear. The opening modifier off C is not ideal imo. It should be closer to "living off the land".
Final Answer D.

All D today? lol

(A) After the First World War, the fear of great future destruction was as intense as it was after the Second World War.

(B) Psychologists have determined that fear of retaliation tends to temper aggressiveness among human beings.

(C) The Second World War was far less destructive than most people generally believe.

(D) Fear of repeating the levels of destructions that the Second World War produced is as pervasive today as it was forty years age.

Q2. Editorial: To qualify as an effective law, as opposed to merely an impressive declaration, a command must be backed up by an effective enforcement mechanism. That is why societies have police. The power of the police to enforce a society’s laws makes those laws effective. But there is currently no international police force. Hence, what is called “international law” is not effective law.

Which one of the following is an assumption required by the editorial’s argument?


(A) No one obeys a command unless mechanisms exist to compel obedience.

(B) If an international police force were established, then so-called international law would become effective law.

(C) The only difference between international law and the law of an individual society is the former’s lack of an effective enforcement mechanism.

(D) The primary purpose of a police force is to enforce the laws of the society.

(E) Only an international police force could effectively enforce international law.

Today’s CR Questions :

Q1. The core reason why we find most immigrants to the country Amora doing odd jobs is the immigrants’ low qualification level. Most immigrants are school dropouts and are not skilled in any particular trade. Most come to Amora to seek a better life and are willing to work their way up in the foreign land. In their initial years in Amora, immigrants take jobs such as cab driving, construction, or hourly jobs at departmental stores. It is clear, therefore, that if the immigrants are to be encouraged to work outside these segregated low-paying jobs, __________

Which one of the following best completes the paragraph?

A. Immigration laws should be made tougher to allow only skilled immigrants into Amora
B. Society’s perception of low-paying odd jobs as "jobs for immigrants" must be changed.
C. More immigrants should be allowed to take up high-paying jobs.
D. Immigrants should be allowed/encouraged to take school and college courses.
E. More high-skilled jobs need to be added in Amora

Q2. The death penalty involves medical doctors, who are sworn to preserve life, in the act of killing. This issue was much discussed after several states provided for execution by lethal injection. The American Medical Association, responding to this issue, declared that a doctor should not participate in an execution. The American Medical Association resolved the ethical problem. However, since the association confers that a doctor may determine or certify death in any situation, it can be argued that when doctors use their stethoscopes to indicate whether the electric chair has done its job, they are assisting the executioner.

In the argument given, the two portions in boldface play which of the following roles?

A. The first is the main conclusion of the argument; the second states a position that the argument seeks to oppose.

B. The first provides evidence that has been used to oppose the main conclusion of the argument; the second is that conclusion.

C. The first is a claim that has been used to reach the main conclusion of the argument; the second brings that conclusion into question.

D. The first is a position that the argument accepts; the second is the main conclusion of the argument.

E. The first states a conclusion that the argument reaches; the second calls that conclusion into question.

C is wrong because it implies that the cemeteries are doing the action. Illogical meaning.

We need to refer back to students, as the non-underlined portion says "such students". Therefore, ABC are out. Needed is the wrong word here - required is better. Should be D.

The only logical comparison here is B.
A is nonsense, comparing the proportion of neurons in a mammal brain to the proportion of neurons in a mammal brain in a insect brain.
B properly compares the proportion of neurons devoted to x function in a mammal brain, to the proportion of neurons devoted to y function in insect brain.
C compares the mammal brain devoting to an insect brain. Controlling is a modifier here, not a verb.
D: I am not 100% sure, but there is a SJV error here. A larger proprtion of (plural) should be plural. Regardless, we have a nonsense comparison here as well: the proportion of neurons in a mammal brain devoted to x, to the proportion of neurons in a mammal brain in an insect brain devoted to y. nonsense.
E is complete nonsense, like D and A.

we can eliminate C and E here, for illogical meaning.
B can also be eliminated. The meaning implies that the cemeteries were "steeped in romanticism".
between A and D now.
D makes a similar error to B, where it implies that the cemeteries are "steeped in romanticism".
A properly conveys the meaning that the cemeteries were in America, and that America was steeped in romanticism, not the cemeteries themselves.
Should 100% be A.

Really nice question 12922, is this GMATPrep? I think I saw it one of my mocks.

CR Questions November - 30 :

Q1. Heavy weight lifting was for long considered the most effective muscle-building exercise. However, through recent studies conducted in hundred gymnasiums across the state where most amateur bodybuilders workout, it was found that well above eighty percent of heavy weight lifters suffered from serious damage to their muscles during their workouts. Citing these statistics, some bodybuilding experts argue that heavy weight lifting should not be taken up by amateur bodybuilders.

Which one of the following, if true, most weakens the criticism against heavy weight lifting by amateur bodybuilders?

A. The number of injuries during amateur heavy weight lifting workouts has gone up by thirty percent in the past two years.
B. Many of the amateurs who suffered muscle damage during heavy weight lifting workouts were first-time heavy weight lifters.
C. Heavy weight lifting workouts, when carried under expert guidance, are more effective and safer than when undertaken without guidance by amateurs.
D. Among the amateurs who engaged in heavy weight lifting, only those with a history of injuries suffered muscle damage.
E. Heavy weight lifting can be fatal to those with heart troubles.

Q2. As a Christmas bounty, the city council of Granara decided to provide all Granara residents free intercom service in order to reduce their expenses on telephone bills. Every person in the town applauded the announcement because it was evident that every household would be benefited from this move. However, when the plan came to implementation, people were found hesitant in paying the required $100 one-time fee for the same. “The telephone bill every household would save in three months was enough to justify $100, yet it is not clear why people are not signing up”, the Mayor said in a review meeting on the project.

Which one of the following, if true, most helps to explain the residents’ hesitation to sign up while simultaneously believing in the benefits of the scheme?

A. Cheap mobile phone connection plans for long distance calls were round the corner and everyone was waiting for them.

B. The intercom would benefit people only when everyone in the town had a connection, and people were skeptical about everyone signing up.

C. The same telecom companies that provided private telephone connections to residents would build the intercom network.

D. The intercom network did not include the offices outside town where some of the residents worked.

E. People believe that $100 was worth their savings in telephone bills of six months, and not three months as the Mayor believed.
