\r\n 34 <\/td>\r\n \r\n Middle <\/td>\r\n \r\n At the end of the 3rd paragraph, the text \u201cConsider this example:\u201d should be removed. <\/td>\r\n \r\n <\/td>\r\n \r\n <\/td>\r\n <\/tr>\r\n
\r\n 37<\/td>\r\n \r\n Top<\/td>\r\n \r\n Solutions, #2: The correct answer is B<\/strong>, not C. The explanation should be as follows: “(B): In the original sentence, the modifier who had been waiting does not clearly modify the people. It appears, illogically, to modify the closer noun (the airport). The boldface version moves who had been waiting next to the people, thus making clear that it is the people who had been waiting.”<\/td>\r\n \r\n (C)<\/td>\r\n \r\n (B)<\/strong><\/td>\r\n <\/tr>\r\n
\r\n 58 <\/td>\r\n \r\n Bottom <\/td>\r\n \r\n The example under preposition is not correctly used as a noun modifier. <\/td>\r\n \r\n Sue placed the CAT on the couch<\/u>. Where is the cat? (on the couch) <\/td>\r\n \r\n The CAT on the couch<\/u> loves dogs. Which cat? (the one on the couch) <\/td>\r\n <\/tr>\r\n
\r\n 85<\/td>\r\n \r\n Top<\/td>\r\n \r\n The marker in the second row of the table (Participle Modifiers) is labeled incorrectly.<\/td>\r\n \r\n not only X but also Y (closed)<\/td>\r\n \r\n X but Y (open)<\/td>\r\n <\/tr>\r\n
\r\n 120<\/td>\r\n \r\n Bottom<\/td>\r\n \r\n Explanation for #11. Delete the paragraph starting “The three uses of she”…<\/td>\r\n \r\n <\/td>\r\n \r\n <\/td>\r\n <\/tr>\r\n
\r\n 153<\/td>\r\n \r\n Bottom<\/td>\r\n \r\n Question 4b is labeled incorrectly. It should be labeled WRONG<\/strong>.<\/td>\r\n \r\n RIGHT<\/td>\r\n \r\n WRONG<\/strong><\/td>\r\n <\/tr>\r\n
\r\n 173<\/td>\r\n \r\n Bottom<\/td>\r\n \r\n In Question 10, “their” should be replaced with “its.”<\/td>\r\n \r\n THEIR<\/td>\r\n \r\n ITS<\/strong><\/td>\r\n <\/tr>\r\n
\r\n 175<\/td>\r\n \r\n Middle<\/td>\r\n \r\n In Question 10, the text in the parentheses at the end of the sentence should say: “The singular pronoun its<\/em> signals that the collective noun orchestra<\/em> is singular in this sentence, so the verb must also be singular.”<\/td>\r\n \r\n Like other collective\r\nnouns, orchestra<\/em> is almost always considered singular on the GMAT.<\/td>\r\n \r\n The singular pronoun its<\/em> signals that the collective noun orchestra<\/em> is singular in this sentence, so the verb must also be singular.<\/strong><\/td>\r\n <\/tr>\r\n
\r\n 228 <\/td>\r\n \r\n Middle <\/td>\r\n \r\n The example listed under Wrong<\/em> would be an acceptable usage under GMAT rules as \u201cestimated at\u201d can be followed by a simple noun. We have therefore updated the examples under Right<\/em> and changed the example under Wrong<\/em><\/td>\r\n \r\n WRONG: She ESTIMATES the cost AT ten dollars. <\/td>\r\n \r\n RIGHT: With a temperature ESTIMATED AT 100 degrees, boiling water can cause severe burns.<\/br>RIGHT: She ESTIMATES the cost TO BE 10% less than it was last year.<\/br> WRONG: She ESTIMATES the cost AT 10% less than it was last year. <\/td>\r\n <\/tr>\r\n
\r\n 259 <\/td>\r\n \r\n Top <\/td>\r\n \r\n The past tense of rise is rose. <\/td>\r\n \r\n risen <\/td>\r\n \r\n rose<\/strong> <\/td>\r\n <\/tr>\r\n <\/tbody>\r\n <\/table>\r\n <\/div>\r\n
