hey guys, while practicing I mostly get the right answer in CR but the reasoning is different than stated in the OG, and it’s not just blindly a guess, will it create a problem in the future in anyway?

OG - the questions are the best out there, but their explanations are not high-quality, imho. I believe you will get excellent explanations on the GMATClub Forums, from folks here.

Hi guys, Did you see this questions? In general, jobs are harder to get in times of economic recession because many businesses cut back operations. However, any future recessions in Vargonia will probably not reduce the availability of teaching jobs at government-funded schools. This is because Vargonia has just introduced a legal requirement that education in government-funded schools be available, free of charge, to all Vargonian children regardless of the state of the economy, and that current student-teacher ratios not be exceeded.

Which of the following, if true, most strengthens the argument?


(A) The current student-teacher ratio at Vargonia’s government-funded schools is higher than it was during the most recent period of economic recession.

(B) During recent periods when the Vargonian economy has been strong, almost 25 percent of Vargonian children have attended privately funded schools, many of which charge substantial fees.

(C) Nearly 20 percent more teachers are currently employed in Vargonia’s government-funded schools than had been employed in those schools in the period before the last economic recession.

(D) Teachers in Vargonia’s government-funded schools are well paid relative to teachers in most privately funded schools in Vargonia, many of which rely heavily on part-time teachers.

(E) During the last economic recession in Vargonia, the government permanently closed a number of the schools that it had funded

This is from the free question bank. I don’t think this question is logical enough. How could I know whether this question is made by the official GMAT or just someone online?

The conclusion and premises are given clearly and logically enough. But none of the choices satisfy the official standard of "strengthen."

This is one of the harder or hardest critical reasoning questions. It has about three pages of discussions:

https://gmatclub.com/forum/in-general-j ... 88403.html

If you’re just starting out, I wouldn’t worry about it. But you’re not incorrect that it doesn’t look like a typical question it doesn’t seem to satisfy the conditions. That’s what hard critical reasoning questions do... it looks strange and don’t seem to work.

Thank you, my friend. I thought the harder or hardest question should be hard in the complex grammar and vocabulary used. But the logic should not be weakened. On the official website, there are rules for each kind of question. I am just perturbed by being misled by incorrect questions.

I am just a poor student who has pinned all my hopes on this exam. If I get this kind of problem, it will be a huge blow to me because it will negate all my previous efforts. I hope the GMAT will be a test where all my weaknesses will be clearly pointed out so that I know how to make the effort.

The question is tagged as GMAT Prep (Classic), meaning that it’s a question from the official mocks for the old GMAT.

You might be misled by a question if it is not from official source. However if it’s an official question I would think it’s a fair game.

RC and CR have not changed from the old GMAT Format to GMAT Focus Edition.

hello, the answer is B.

fellows, I got enough from that hardest field. I predicted that I may not answer correctly, but what depresses me is that none of the explanations are cogent. I got a new one:

For several centuries there have been hairless dogs in western Mexico and in coastal Peru. It is very unlikely that a trait as rare as hairlessness emerged on two separate occasions. Since the dogs have never existed in the wild, and the vast mountainous jungle separating these two regions would have made overland travel between them extremely difficult centuries ago, the dogs must have been transported from one of these regions to the other by boat, probably during trading expeditions.

Which one of the following is an assumption that the argument requires?

A. Hairless dogs have never been found anywhere except in the regions of western Mexico and coastal Peru.

B. Most of the trade goods that came into western Mexico centuries ago were transported by boat.

C. Centuries ago, no one would have travelled between western Mexico and coastal Peru by boat except for the purposes of carrying out a trading expedition.

D. IF hairless dogs were at one time transported between western Mexico and coastal Peru by boat, they were traded in exchange for other goods.

E. Centuries ago, it was easier to travel by boat between western Mexico and coastal Peru than to travel by an overland route.

The correct answer is E. but the answer given, for example the first comment: A. Hairless dogs have never been found anywhere except in the regions of western Mexico and coastal Peru. - argument is about transport of the dogs from one region to the other, the existence of dogs in other regions doesn’t affect the conclusion. Incorrect. E. Centuries ago, it was easier to travel by boat between western Mexico and coastal Peru than to travel by an overland route. - If we reverse this it says " It was harder to travel by boat than to travel by land", since it is already hard to travel by land, travel by boat would be then even harder, thus making the conclusion weak & quite unlikely. Hence this is the correct answer.

I can totally explain in an opposite way: E Centuries ago, it was easier to travel by boat between western Mexico and coastal Peru than to travel by an overland route. - argument is about transport of the dogs from one region to the other, the extend of difficulty in transportation doesn’t affect the conclusion, incorrect; A. Hairless dogs have never been found anywhere except in the regions of western Mexico and coastal Peru.- reverse:" there are hairless dogs in other places," which means the hairless dog could be transported from other places. Since dogs could be from other places, thus making the conclusion weak& quite unlikely(other places might don’t have the traffic issues). Hence this is the correct answer.
