My take- Option 5) D
A killed B, before that B killed C,A was simultaneously killed by D and E and accidentally E killed D who was also killed C with B. who died last among 5.
1.) A
2.) C
3.) E
4.) B

accidentally E killed D who was also killed C with B...meaning is unclear of "who was also killed C with B". was killed should precede "by" isn't it?
Material suggestions..
Hello All,
I was hoping to get some suggestion what material to use for CRs for my case. I am pretty good with CRs already. Getting 95% of them right on the OG 12 and the GMAt verbal. I take a lor of time specially with the difficult qns. About 2 mins a qn. With the simpler ones 1.2 mins a question. Can any one suggest which books would be best to work on my technique so as to improve my speed??
Thank you in advance....
Best,
Murthy

The last part of the sentence is not clear. i killed everyone except E. so think it must be 3) E.
One sure way you can tell how quickly a new idea,for example, the idea of "privatization" ,is taking hold among the population is to monitor how fast the word or words expressing that particular idea are passing into common usage. Professional opinions of whether or not words can indeed be said to have passed into common usage are available from dictionary editors, who are vitally concerned with this question.
The method described above for determining how quickly a new idea is taking hold relies on which one of the following assumptions?
(A) Dictionary editors are not professionally interested in words that are only rarely used.
(B) Dictionary editors have exact numerical criteria for telling when a word has passed into common usage.
(C) For a new idea to take hold, dictionary editors have to include the relevant word or words in their dictionaries.
(D) As a word passes into common usages, its meaning does not undergo any severe distortions in the process.
(E) Words denoting new ideas tend to be used before the ideas denoted are understood.
C is it? Please confirm with OA
How accurate are the 1000CR/RC answers, specially when their is no explanation? Also are they good source of preparation?
TIA
The commercial news media emphasize exceptional events such as airplane crashes at the expense of those such as automobile accidents, which occur far more frequently and represent a far greater risk to the public. Yet the public tends to interpret the degree of emphasis the news media give to these occurrences as indicating the degree of risk they represent.
If the statements above are true, which one of the following conclusions is more strongly supported by them?
(A) Print media, such as newspapers and magazines, are a better source of information than are broadcast media.
(B) The emphasis given in the commercial news media to major catastrophes is dictated by the publics taste for the extraordinary.
(C) Events over which people feel they have no control are generally perceived as more dangerous than those which people feel they can avert or avoid.
(D) Where commercial news media constitute the dominant source of information, public perception of risk does not reflect actual risk.
(E) A massive outbreak of cholera will be covered more extensively by the news media than will the occurrence of a rarer but less serious disease.
I think D
Can you please confirm with official answers?:)

All of John's friends say they know someone who has smoked 40 cigarettes a day for the past 40 years and yet who is really fit and well. John does not know anyone like that and it is quite certain that he is not unique among his friends in this respect.
If the statements in the passage are true, then which one of the following must also be true?
(A) Smoking often lie about how much they smoke.
(B) People often knowingly exaggerate without intending to lie.
(C) All John's friends know the same lifelong heavy smoker.
(D) Most of John's friends are not telling the truth.
(E) Some of John's friends are not telling the truth.
OPTION E
Some people have been promoting a new herbal mixture
as a remedy for the common cold. The mixture contains,
among other things, extracts of the plants purple coneflower
and goldenseal. A cold sufferer, skeptical of the
claim that the mixture is an effective cold remedy, argued,
"Suppose that the mixture were an effective cold remedy.
Since most people with colds wish to recover quickly, it
follows that almost everybody with a cold would be using
it. Therefore, since there are many people who have colds
but do not use the mixture, it is obviously not effective."
Each of the following is an assumption required by
the skeptical cold sufferer's argument EXCEPT:
(A) Enough of the mixture is produced to provide the
required doses to almost everybody with a cold.
(B) The mixture does not have side effects severe
enough to make many people who have colds
avoid using it.
(C) The mixture is powerful enough to prevent
almost everybody who uses it from
contracting any further colds.
(D) The mixture is widely enough known that
almost everybody with a cold is aware of it.
(E) There are no effective cold remedies available
that many people who have colds prefer to the mixture
OPTION C
Awaiting answers 😃

Read the last line of passage " it now equals that of cocoa." it says "now" ... now only the earnings will be unprecedented. so We can not say E is correct. On the other hand, option D says the stocks are over and yes it is.. in last 3 years the surplus amount has exhausted.
More than a year ago, the city announced that police would crack down on illegally parked cars and that resources would be diverted from writing speeding tickets to ticketing illegally parked cars. But no crackdown has taken place. The police chief claims that resources have had to be diverted from writing speeding tickets to combating the citys staggering drug problem. Yet the police are still writing as many speeding tickets as ever. Therefore, the excuse about resources being tied up in fighting drug-related crime simply is not true.
The conclusion in the passage depends on the assumption that
(A) every member of the police force is qualified to work on combating the citys drug problem
(B) drug-related crime is not as serious a problem for the city as the police chief claims it is
(C) writing speeding tickets should be as important a priority for the city as combating drug-related crime
(D) the police could be cracking down on illegally parked cars and combating the drug problem without having to reduce writing speeding tickets
(E) the police cannot continue writing as many speeding tickets as ever while diverting resources to combating drug-related crime
I think the answer is "E".
Whats the OA?

Got the second one right ....
Planners in City X noticed that many of the trees in the city were dying because of exposure to increased levels of air and water pollution. A study they commissioned revealed that sycamore trees actually thrive in environments with elevated levels of carbon monoxide, the main pollutant emitted by automobiles. In order to reverse the trend of dying trees, the city adopted a policy to replace all sick trees with sycamore trees.
Which of the following, if true, would most weaken the logic employed by the city planners?
a) In the forest, oak trees live an average of 70 years while sycamore trees only live for an average of 50 years.
b) Automobile manufacturers are developing newer car models that emit significantly fewer pollutants.
c) A survey by Urban Forests found that the sycamore is the most common tree in American cities.
d) The city recently installed low exhaust buses for its public transportation system.
e) Sycamore trees are extremely sensitive to sulfur dioxide, the main component of acid rain.
Option C (60-40 chance :
- have a feeling that B is also right)
