The problem with Option E in Q1 is "qualifying". Qualifying basically means proving (I think). To qualify the position, the author uses the entire passage, not just the 1st paragraph. Thus, E is not right. C is right. Generalization (you can also consider it a position) is that adopting new tech is not easy. It's advanced because the 1st paragraph goes further to explain what makes the adoption hard. Also several evidences are given to support, but not completely prove, the point.

[quote="zac123"]
All correct.

[url=https://gmatclub.com:443/forum/memberlist.php?mode=viewprofile&un=workout][b]workout[/b][/url] This was a very long passage in terms of content. Are we going to see passage this big on the D-Day??
I am expecting one though.[/quote]


I took 18 mins 44 sec, and still got 1 wrong :cry: , I am taking too long to get to correct ans . how can improve this .[/quote]

Hey zac123 I think you should acknowledge the fact that the hit rate matters so initially it may take time , however you can do one thing, while reading if you can simultaneously convert the text in your native language in your mind and a frame a series of sequence, it can help!

Hi workout

Thanks for your detailed analysis. Regarding Q2, I have already understood why E is correct, but I couldn't find information from the passage for B, C, and D. Per my understanding from the question, the correct answer should be the one that the author is cannot prove to be true and the incorrect answers should be the ones the author can prove from the passage. Could you elaborate on this? Many thanks.

2. It can be inferred from the passage that the author was unable to assess the truth of which of the following statements about opaque-2 maize?
Scope: Recent innovations such as opaque-2 maize, Antarctic krill, and the wheat-rye hybrid triticale seem more promising, but it is too early to predict their ultimate fate.
For example, the better protein quality in tortillas made from opaque-2 maize will be of only limited benefit to a family on the margin of subsistence if the new maize is not culturally acceptable or is more vulnerable to insects.

(A) It is a more recent innovation than the use of fish-protein concentrate.
(B) It can be stored as easily as other varieties of maize. → not mentioned
(C) It is more popular than the wheat-rye hybrid triticale. → not mentioned
(D) It produces tortillas of greater protein content than do other varieties of maize. → not mentioned, in the passage, it is “better” (quality) not “greater” (quantity)
(E) It is more susceptible to insects than are other varieties of maize.

5. The author suggests that, in most developing countries, extensive government intervention accompanying the introduction of a food innovation will
Scope: “Since large segments of the populations of many developing countries are close to the subsistence margin and essentially powerless, they tend to be the losers in this system unless they are aided by a government policy that takes into account the needs of all sectors of the economy. Therefore, although technical advances in food production and processing will perhaps be needed to ensure food availability, meeting food needs will depend much more on equalizing economic power among the various segments of the populations within the developing countries themselves.
(A) usually be sufficient to guarantee the financial success of the innovation
(B) be necessary to ensure that the benefits of the innovation will be spread throughout the society
(C) provide the incentive necessary to convince landowners to try the innovation
(D) generally cost the country more than will be earned by the innovation
(E) normally occur only when the innovation favors large landowners
