I shouldn't be trying to answer these questions so late an hour but, as Stoylar and ngulati did, my vote goes to B.


Hey stoylar your "Alas" word reminds me of "The Lord of the Rings" book. :war (It is used a lot in it)

Which is a good practice for RC by the way.

PR says its C...I guess its a PR typo... C needs a "is" in front.

And the sentence requires present tense. But Alas :) , we are mere

mortals.

Martin, buy disclosed LSAT's for CR and RC..they are tougher than the

real thing, but as good as it gets.

"10 Actual Official Lsat Preptests" is the title of the book.

Hey Praet, are you sure C is correct? This doesn't seem ok:

"One of the most familiar plots used in todayтАЩs cinema in which the coward turns out to be a brave hero."

Sounds like the sentence should go on... doesn't it?


I regards to the LSAT material, do you think the free LSAT tests downloadable from their site are as god as the book you mention?

I know C is not good...but as i said, it has to be must be PR's typo...PR is
very inconsistent ...their quality is sometimes good ..but sometimes they
have wrong answers.

With LSAT, i have not tried the online tests..but as you said ,the downloads are free..so it must be more like an introduction to the types of questions that ou can expect on the test.

Hope that helps

Where is only for places in the GMAT.

C is not a clause; it is a phrase.

One of the most familiar plots used in todayтАЩs cinema is the one where the coward turns out to be a brave hero.

in which the coward turns out to be

was the one where the coward turned out to be

is the one where the person seeming to be cowardly turns out to be

I vote for B.

in which should be used,

Though i am not sure about the verb "turned" i think if the option were "is the one in which the coward turns out to be " it would have been better.
