Thanks for the explanation. The claim version today makes it more clear, even though I still marked the wrong answer. The key here, I believe, is understanding the true conclusion of the passage, even if its short.

Bump question #2... It can be inferred from the passage that current treatments of Parkinson’s Disease... (a) repair damaged cells by replenishing dopamine levels in the brain (b) are ineffective in their treatment of Parkinson’s symptoms, such as tremors (c) were developed without a complete unders...

Team, quick question on this verbal question: -- Relevant part of passage: "For several decades after its discovery, aluminum was considered a precious metal and was more costly than gold or platinum, not because of any fundamental scarcity, but because of its elevated cost of production. The p...

Negating the solutions here really help to see if the conclusion falls apart. (a) New technological developments in the next century WILL divert rising seas from the world’s coastal cities. (clearly populations are saved) (b) Individuals WILL become more aware of the steps they can take to reduce th...

Hi, I have a question on the same passage. It is the general purpose type question. Which of the following most accurately describes the primary purpose of the passage?

Can some one better explain this answer (OA is E). I understand there needs to be an independent sentence after the semi-colon (knock off A & B) and we need "from" in the "prevent from X-ing" idiom (knock off C). However, to eliminate D, it seems like a lot of extra items/con...

After reviewing this problem, the answer makes sense. I'm also seeing a pattern, prime factorization helps nearly 100% of the time in divisibility/prime number questions. However, in the answer explanation, it is writtem: "The only prime factors that 24 and 28 share are 2 and 2(2^2)." What...

To recap, we only need to realize that "likely" takes the infinitive (eliminating ABD) and "as X as" is the correct form for comparison (eliminating E) to solve this problem. The beginning part of the underline is a false split and this isn't a "like" vs "as" ...

I think you can remove the first modifier because it seems to be a prepositional phrase that modifies the rest of the whole sentence. We could write: Provided with high energy feed, and milked regularly, Holstein cows will produce an average of 2275 gallons of milk each year (for the farmer who take...
