(A) People who smoke are unlikely to quit merely because they are no longer exposed to tobacco advertising.
This is true, but it does not matter to those who take their first cigarette puffs and therefore does not apply to the claim above.
(B) Broadcast media tend to have stricter restrictions on tobacco advertising than do print media. - This point does not contradict the columnist at all.
(D) Most people who begin smoking during adolescence continue to smoke throughout their lives. - This is true, but it has nothing to do with advertising issues, and therefore is not a subject matter for discussion.
(E) People who are largely unaffected by tobacco advertising tend to be unaffected by other kinds of advertising as well. - It is generally controversial since it does not dispute the assertion by the columnist about tobacco advertising’s effect on smoking inclination; rather it addresses people’s general responsiveness towards adverts.
It turns out that the most challenged assertion

Hence main argument is banks should focus on minimizing their reliance on machines because customers value personal attention and familiarity when they visit their banks.

On multiple occasions, Fuqua enabled me to step out of my comfort zone.

I vividly recall the day I arrived inDurham , tasked with setting up a new home on 9th Street with just two suitcases, having traveled halfway across the world from India. The experience was a mix of intimidation, overwhelm, and excitement. It marked the beginning of forging new friendships and embracing new experiences.

Engaging with a Diverse Community

Joining a diverse MBA program like Fuqua provided ample opportunities to connect with people from all over the globe.

I'm specifically looking to practice these questions in a quiz format that allows me to track my time and select specific topics for each quiz. While I know I can practice directly from the OG book, I find the quiz format more beneficial for my preparation.

Does anyone know of any resources or platforms that offer this kind of quiz format with official GMAT questions? Also, if anyone has experience with the e-books and question banks provided by MBA.com, could you share if they include such quizzes?

One study identifies several such firms that are turning eco-consciousness into a source of competitive advantage. The most salient quality of these highly profitable companies is that they turn limitations (of resources, labor, and infrastructure) into opportunities.

Thank you so much for your detailed insights, particularly when many of my peers focus primarily on the financial aspects, such as the return on investment, without considering the full educational value. They argue that the high cost of the Babson full-time MBA program might not yield a proportional ROI, especially when compared to potential earnings post-graduation. In Taiwan, there's a belief that only a Master's in CS justifies such an investment—haha!

I'm carefully considering all options and will inquire with Babson about the possibility of additional scholarships.

Given your experience, I'd like to ask about the closure of Purdue's traditional MBA program due to COVID-19 impacts.

Given,
1. A baseball team increased its home attendance 20 percent in each of two successive years.
2. home attendance was 1 million the year before the first increase

Asked,
what was the attendance the year of the second increase?

Each year the attendance increased by 20% => 1mil + 20% of 1 mil
This happens twice,

=> 1mil * 1.44
=> 1,440,000

The answer is C
