Understanding the Question:
The question asks for "some possible signs of impending rainfall in Exville today." It's not asking us to determine definitively if it will rain, nor how many signs there are. It's asking: does the information provided in each statement describe things that are considered signs of approaching rain in the specified location and timeframe?
Analyzing Statement (1):

  • (1) The weather forecast correctly predicts a 90% chance of rain in Exville today based on heavy cloud cover and low-pressure systems moving into the region.
  • Does this describe signs of impending rainfall? Yes, absolutely.

    • A high-probability weather forecast itself acts as a sign or indicator for most people.
    • More importantly, the statement identifies the basis for the forecast: "heavy cloud cover" and "low-pressure systems." These are classic meteorological signs that often precede rain.
  • Is it relevant to Exville today? Yes, the statement specifies "Exville today."
  • Conclusion for (1): Statement (1) provides specific examples (heavy cloud cover, low-pressure systems, a high-probability forecast) that are indeed possible signs of impending rainfall in Exville today. It successfully answers the question "What are some possible signs...?"
Analyzing Statement (2):
  • (2) Given the darkening sky, the sudden drop in temperature, and strong winds, it is highly likely that a rainstorm is imminent in Exville today.
  • Does this describe signs of impending rainfall? Yes, definitely.

    • "Darkening sky" (from approaching rain clouds).
    • "Sudden drop in temperature" (often occurs as a storm system moves in).
    • "Strong winds" (frequently associated with weather fronts that bring rain).
    • These are directly observable phenomena commonly recognized as immediate precursors to rain. The statement itself interprets them as making rain highly likely and imminent.
  • Is it relevant to Exville today? Yes, the statement specifies "Exville today."
  • Conclusion for (2): Statement (2) provides specific examples (darkening sky, temperature drop, strong winds) that are indeed possible signs of impending rainfall in Exville today. It successfully answers the question "What are some possible signs...?"
Synthesizing - GMAT Style Answer:
This question is phrased like Data Sufficiency, but it's really testing your understanding of what constitutes a "sign" in this context.

  • Statement (1) alone provides valid examples of signs of impending rainfall relevant to the situation.
  • Statement (2) alone also provides valid examples of signs of impending rainfall relevant to the situation.
Since each statement independently provides an answer to the question "What are some possible signs...?", the GMAT-style answer would be (D).

Question: Any "possible" sign of about to happen rainfall?

Statement 1: The weather forecast correctly predicts a 90% chance of rain in Exville today based on heavy cloud cover and low-pressure systems moving into the region.
2 Possible signs = heavy cloud cover and low-pressure systems. So, Sufficient.

Statement 2: Given the darkening sky, the sudden drop in temperature, and strong winds, it is highly likely that a rainstorm is imminent in Exville today.
3 Possible signs = darkening sky, the sudden drop in temperature, and strong winds. So, Sufficient.

Answer D
