What does test anxiety really look like on the GMAT? For many test takers, it does not look like a panic attack. Instead, it shows up as brain fog, rereading, negative comparisons, mental noise....

Whenever x<-5 or x>-1, |x+3|>2 is true.
We know from the main statement x<-5, so option II must be true. Of course whenever x>-1, it will still be true.
A simpler way to look at it.
Say statement says x=-2
Option two says x^2=4…x=2 or x=-2.
Now x can be 2 too, but we are concerned with what is the case when x=-2.
Thus x=-2 means |x+3|>2 is always true.

For anyone confused with 'Must Be True' questions, consider it this way.
The given range should be a subset of the the range derived from the correct option. Not the other way around.

This question is of the format - If condition, then what MUST be true. In Quant, such questions can be asked in the context of Number Properties or Algebra concepts. In this question, the context is Algebra.
To answer this question comfortably, one needs to completely understand the condition presented. And this understanding involves visualizing the value of x. And then one needs to carefully simplify the choices. While each individual choice can be visualized on the number line, the reason why many students falter in this question is because they are unable to devise a solid approach to answering this question.
As you watch the video, observe how we have used the process skill of translating Quant back to English to develop an iron-clad approach to solve this question. In fact, statement II is where students tend to falter and by applying this translation technique, they can avoid this pitfall.
Did you also falter on Statement II when you solved this question on your own? Try applying the translation technique going forward!
