Hi VeritasKarishma,

Could you please help me with this question?
https://gmatclub.com/forum/a-proposed-change-to-federal-income-tax-laws-would-eliminate-deduction-64195.html#p469416

I had difficulty while negating option A.

A says -
Without incentives offered by federal income tax laws, at least some wealthy individuals would not donate as much money to charitable and educational institutions as they otherwise would have.

My negated statement was - Without incentives offered by federal income tax laws, no wealthy individuals would donate as much money to charitable and educational institutions as they otherwise would have.

My doubt is for answer choices such as A, should we negate "some/all/none etc" or should we negate the verb (would not donate)? Also in this case the option A has negative in the main verb - would not donate, and I made it positive in my negated statement. Am I correct?

I have always struggled negating answer choices such as A, where I have "All/Some/None etc.." and the main verb has a negative (would not, should not) attached to it.

Thanks!

In this question, OA is option B.
the argument clearly mentions that the insurance is partly responsible for the high rate of bank failures.
Option B says that the frequent bank failures occurred as a result of depositors' fears of losing money in bank failures even in the absence of insurance.

I know that by giving a different cause for an effect, we can weaken the argument.
But in this case, when one cause is partly responsible , is the above statement still valid ?

Hi Karishma,

Please provide your 2 cents on this question: https://gmatclub.com/forum/senator-betw ... 72638.html

IMO, the correct choice attacks the premise of the argument. How can we question the facts presented in the argument?

Thanks!

Hey anupam87:

Yes, I have discussed negation in this question a fair few times on this link. Check out the last comment: https://gmatclub.com/forum/a-proposed-c ... l#p2534607
It discusses negation of (A) in detail.

You cannot negate both the verb and some quantifier.

Some friends will come.
Negation - No friends will come.

If you negate both, you get 'No friends will not come' which is 'All friends will come'. That is not the negation of 'Some friends will come.'

You negate the quantifier and let the verb be as is.

Hi Karishma,

I have been following your response threads to CR questions, and they are really helpful.

Could you please provide an explanation for the following question:


Airline Representative: The percentage of flight delays caused by airline error decreased significantly this year. This indicates that airlines listened to complaints about preventable errors and addressed the problems. Although delays caused by weather and other uncontrollable factors will always be part of travel, preventable delays are clearly decreasing.

Which of the following most clearly points to a logical flaw in the representative's reasoning?

A. Airlines may be motivated by financial concerns to underreport the percentage of flight delays caused by airline error.

B. The delays caused by uncontrollable factors could have led to an increase in complaints to airlines.

C. Complaints may not be the most reliable measure of how many errors occurred in a given year.

D. Delays caused by weather and other uncontrollable factors could have increased dramatically during the year under discussion.

E. Airline customers might not believe that particular delays were caused by uncontrollable factors rather than airline error.

Hey Abhishekrao12,

Check the link:

https://gmatclub.com/forum/bank-deposit ... l#p2539169

The insurance is partly responsible for bank failures but if the insurance is not present, it leads to frequent bank failures. Hence, insurance cannot be a reason for bank failures.

Hey abcdddddd,

The correct option does not conflict with the premises. Most doctors used to club it with depression only. Some perhaps still identified PP depression separately. Check here:

AAspirations
I'm struggling with the Official Advanced Level CR questions. Usually I spend time on the question stem, find the gap and work on the options. Like taught by Veritas Prep instructor Dan, the correct answer usually pops out but with the advanced questions, I'm simply stuck at not knowing how to work them.

Hey AAspirations,

Looks like I missed your query. With advanced CR questions, often students miss one or two critical words.
For example, look at this official question which is tagged 700 level. People struggle in it. But look at my explanation. You will see that it was all about one critical word - percentage. Those who got confused here did not pay attention to it.

If there are some particular questions that you got stuck on, let me know. I will help resolve them for you.
