Re: For years the beautiful Renaissance buildings in Palitito

Most tourists come to Palitito by tour bus -- is irrelevant

The stimulus talks ONLY about the buses. So, it does not matter whether 1 tourist or some tourists or many tourists or all tourists come by bus.

Is my reasoning for elimination of D correct?

Re: GWD-TN-16

I still did not get why C is wrong. Please help.

"the raise in salary really does improve the situation" --> a certain change will have a positive effect

"the ban will have little or no negative effect" --> pointing to the absence of negative effects

Dear Ron, could you please share thoughts on how 'C' is correct? The passage does not mention comparison between European history and the rest of the world.

Re: RC: After the second World War, unionism in the Japanese

The passage states that the oh-no system allowed production to meet the "minimum resource requirement". Use of minimum possible resources = lowest possible production cost. I see what you're getting at here, in the sense that "cost" is usually cast in terms of money, and money i...
