Can you please explain why A for q2 ... it is clearly mentioned as a change here For instance, when radio stations stream their content onto the internet some ads must be stripped out for legal reasons. Advertisements featuring radio personalities often have to be removed because there is no arrangement to pay for the rights of on-air talent, writers and producers.

Because "often have to be done" is not the same with "MUST be done". The fist means in most cases, while the second one means always. This kind of trap is quite often used in GMAT.

All the others one were pretty easy, apart from q2. q2 says
The author implies that all of the following are changes internet radio is causing in the industry EXCEPT
Option B is not caused by internet radio.
Please explain.
As I understood the question we should eliminate all reasons that changed the industry. Fot instance, lets look on D. The growing number of users is not caused by the internet radio, but obviously it is the reason of changes. B plays the same role. The industry had not been changed and was outdated; therefore, it had to be changed for needs of the internet marketing.

In contrast, "A" gives us the reason not mentioned in the article. So A.

But doesnt the language mean that ...the changes internet radio are causing....
A may b extreme but is still relevant
B is something IR has no effect on
D may be thought of as ...the features are causing the viwershi to increase as in ..its the effect of the good things abt IR

B still seem the right answer may b i understood something incorectly lease explain

For question number 2, even though A is an extreme statement, B is not stated as a change that internet radio is causing. I marked B. Still do not understand why A is correct. Can anyone please explain?

Hello urvashis09

The statement B says that "Radio ads from 30 years ago are similar to those aired today" and following is what I understand from the passage.

The internet radio has already started in the past. It is not something that is going to start in the future or starting now. Since the internet radio has already started and the author says that radio ad's today are similar to those 30 years ago, I think the internet radio has a role in keeping these ads similar. This eliminates option B.

Does this make sense ?

In Question 4, how do we identify the tone of the passage?

Hi acegmat20,

4. The tone of the author towards advertising opportunities in internet radio can best be described as

A) Distrustful
B) Frustrated
C) Enthusiastic
D) Disinterested
E) Fervent

Explanation: Author in the passage discusses about how the radio internet radio pose new challenges to companies wishing to advertise on the radio and how different companies are adapting and gearing up to the internet format. Author seems pretty enthusiastic, as he mentions in the last para:
"RightSpot and similar agencies are working to turn a nascent field into a viable business that benefits advertisers of any size. They expect the percentage of internet radio listeners to increase from 24 percent of listeners in 2006 to 50 percent in 2010. This increase will further add to the necessity for radio advertisers to change methodologies. Those that embrace the changes will certainly see positive results."

The author doesn't seem to be Distrustful, Frustrated, Disinterested or overly passionate. He simply mentions the obstacles that the radio companies are facing and how they are trying to overcome. Other options are too extreme. Thus C is the best answer.

Hope This Helps.
Thanks.
