Thanks Varun!
Here is another one and the funny thing about it is that the answers differ in 2 exams and my own answer differs from those two :(
Advertisement: Today's clients expect top quality. Every improvement in the standards of service raises client expectations. The company that is complacent and satisfied with the current quality of its products will soon find that its clients are not. At Service Enterprises, meeting or exceeding client expectations is our goal.
Which of the following must be true on the basis of the statements in the advertisement above?
A. Service Enterprises' competitors will succeed in attracting customers only if those competitors adopt Service Enterprises' goal as their own.
B. A company that does not correctly anticipate the expectations of its customers is certain to fail in advancing the quality of its products.
C. Service Enterprises goal is possible to meet only if continuing advances in product quality are possible.
D. If a company becomes satisfied with the quality of its products, then the quality of its products is sure to decline.
E. Service Enterprises' customers are currently satisfied with the quality of its products.
Dear dear - another tricky one :(
Mr. Frank Loren owns a house in the small town of Rayleigh Harbor. None of the residents of Rayleigh Harbor
pay any local property taxes anywhere else. Also, Rayleigh Harbor exempts residents from local property taxes
on their homes if they are over 70 years of age.
Which of the following must also be true?
A. Mr. Loren pays no local property tax in Rayleigh Harbor (though he may pay such taxes elsewhere).
B. Mr. Loren pays no local property taxes anywhere.
C. If Mr. Loren is over 70 years of age, he pays no local property taxes anywhere.
D. If Mr. Loren is over 70 years of age, he pays no local property taxes in Rayleigh Harbor, but perhaps he does
elsewhere.
E. None of the preceding conclusions follow from the stated assumptions.
The exam says E whereas my logic says C. Any idea??
Mr. Frank Loren owns a house in Rayleigh Harbor but he may not actually be living in it. So he may not be a "resident" of Rayleigh Harbor. So statements 2 and 3 may not apply on him. This explains the answer i hope.
In medieval times, Libya was the principal corridor for the transmission of goods by merchants between Europe
and Africa.
A. for the transmission of goods by merchants between
B. in which the transmission of merchants' goods took place among
C. where the transmission of merchants' goods occurred between
D. which was transmitting merchants' goods among
E. through which merchants' goods were transmitted between
What should be the answer- A oe E?
Thanks in advance!

I would have chosen one of option C or option E. But then I realized that for option C to be true, option E needs to be verified first. So I would have marked option E as my answer.

This is my first GMAT related question with "None of the above" as one of the answer options.
Well.. very frankly in exam I would have marked option C, hands down.. But I guess the question itself has the answer, in a way..
"must also be true"... so nothing can be assumed... go by whatever is given in the passage.. So I guess option E is indeed correct.

This one is really a good one.
Here is my crack at it.
Answer : E affirmative.
A - Negates what has been stated in the passage.
B - Negates again, as Loren owns a home in RH
C,D - No info is given about Loren's age. Nor about any other property he might own elsewhere.
The Key here is the phrase "must be true" in the question.

My Answer: C
A - Out of scope, as it does not validate if SE's goal has been achieved or not
B - Extreme, "certain to fail" - that level of confirmation has not been conveyed for a must be true scenario
C - valid. SE can Meet or Exceed, thats its goal. If Quality increases then it will exceed.
D - flip scenario. Constant quality => satisfied client => "want more" cannot be quenched. Not the other way round.
E - very close. However, nothing about the goal has been conveyed here.
Puys please help me in solving the below CR ques:-
Useful protein drugs, such as insulin, must be administered by the cumbersome procedure of injection under the skin.If proteins are taken orally, they are digested and cannot reach their target cells.Certain nonprotein drugs,however,contain chemical bonds that are not broken down by the digestive system.They can ,thus, be taken orally.
The statements above most strongly support a claim that a research procedure that
successfully accomplishes which of the following would be beneficial to users of protein
drugs?
A)Coating Insulin with compounds that are broken down by target cells,but whose chemical bonds are resistant to digestion.
B)Converting into proteins compounds,by procedures that work in the laboratory,the non protein drugs that resist digestion
C)Removing permanently from the digestive system any substances that digest protein
D)Determining in a systematic way what enzymes and bacteria are present in the normal digestive system and whether they tend to be broken down within the body
E)Determining the amount of time each non protein drug takes to reach its target cells.

I think the question stem will be asking abt the insulin efficacy improvement or about taking drugs orally.I believe in that case A will be the answer.

E.
A is extreme case.
B is definately not desirable.
D/C is out of scope

A should be the answer.
My thoughts:
D/E - Out of scope
B - If non protein compounds are converted to protein, the basic problem of protein intake remains as is.
C - this looks like an extreme answer
A - the best, solves the problem
-- can be taken orally - chemical bonds won't be broken now
-- target cells can break the compound

E)Determining the amount of time each non protein drug takes to reach its target cells.
Answer to this question is option A.
But why can't the answer be option B?
First of all Why not option A--
It is stated that proteins if taken orally are digested and cannot reach the target cell so if we either cover them with non protein drug then only they are going into the digestive system and will not reach the target cel
Now Why Option B-if the non protein drug is converted into protein compounds they can be broken down by the digestive system and can reach target cell.
Please provide clarifications/hints where i need to be corrected.

The answer is (A)
The choice should identify a "procedure" that successfully accomplishes which of the following would be "beneficial to users of protein"
We need to identify a procedure will allow users to consume insulin easily. Procedure here means something that will allow the insulin, a type of protein to reach the target cell.
The main of the passage is as follows:
Proteins, hence insulin are digested >> they cannot be taken orally
The non protein drug is not digested, but can be broken down by the target cell.
So the option is A. Coat the insulin with the non protein drug. Consume the drug orally (this is the benefit....ease of consumption vs injection). Now, since the protein is within the other drug, it does not get digested. But, when it gets to the target cell, it breaks down the other drug, releasing the protein.
Voila ! Mission accomplished.
