Dear carcass,
My intelligent friend, I am not sure of your exact purpose in constructing the Question of the Day. This particular question strikes me as slam-dunk easy, because as soon as one figures out the modification issue, a quick scan down the beginnings of the answer choices immediately reveals the answer. I don't know whether any question on the GMAT would be quite this easy. What do you think?
Mike :-)

Hi mikemcgarry,

I am always really glad to hear from you :)

Well, the purpose is to give to the students questions that are not discussed before on the board. In fact if you perform a quick search these questions have not discussed before.

I know that it is too much easy but our intent is to give practice from all area of contents After all is a question that comes from a reliable resource. NOT mine :-D

Either way, thank you a lot for your thought.

By the way, time ago I sent you a PVT about an important thing. Please if you didnt see because too busy or else, let me know. I will be glad if you will have an eye - your eagle eye - on it.

Regards
