I am working on GMAT RC. I came across following two observation about me :
1. I am trapped between the large point and main point.
2. Does implies questions content always need to mentioned in passage i mean cant I perceive something based on argument discussed in passages.
Please guide me!
Guys! I'm back in full swing to give GMAT in 2015. Buddies and pals, preparing for GMAT keep in touch for a group discussion on various topics.
I am following Kaplan and stuck with CR section. It asks me to understand the assumption made by author and for some reason I am always making a different assumption. Any tips/advice?
Guys, please give me your reviews about below mentioned AWA. Its my first AWA, so help me out.
The following appeared as part of an annual report sent to stockholders by Olympic Foods, a processor of frozen
foods:
"Over time, the costs of processing go down because as organizations learn howto do things better, they
become more efficient. In color film processing, for example, the cost of a 3-by-5-inch print fell from 50 cents for
five-day service in 1970to 20 cents for one-day service in 1984. The same principle applies to the processing of
food. And since Olympic Foods will soon celebrate its 25th birthday, we can expect that our
long experience will enable us to minimize costs andthus maximize profits."
----------------------------------------------START----------------------------------------------------------------
The author states that Olympic Foods will be able to minimize cost and maximize profit. The argument stated by author has some serious logical gaps whic needs to be adrresed to substantiate the very same argument.
First, the argument makes a direct comparision between Food organisation and a Film Processing organisation ,wherein, there may be several aspects which may work in favour of Food oraganisation may not work in favour of Film Processing. Like, cost of print fell by some amount in a span of few years which may be caused because of various reasons as there may be tax deduction in raw materials for print, there could be an availability of another alternative for print which lead to reduction in price etc.
Second, the evidence provided in the argument contains a mathematical flaw which author fails to comprehend. The cost of a 3-by-5 inch print was 50 cents for five-day service in 1970 whereas in 1984, it was 20 cents for one-day service, which calculates to 100 cents for five-day service. Hence, the price actually doubled for print films instead of a decrease.
Third, argument specifies that Olympic Food is 25 years old organisation and based on this 25 years of experience the author expects the organisation to make profit. This conclusion seems theoretical rather than practical, because to derive at such a strong conclusion the author at least needs to mention organisation's business revenues in terms of profit or loss figures, what were the major accomplisments achieved and their corresponding outcomes etc.
It is difficult to accept the analysis that Olympic Food will be able to maximize profits until all of the above mentioned logical gaps are adrressed and rectified.

Hi, I tried to rectify errors as discussed with you. And here I am with my 2nd AWA. It would be of great help ,if you can provide me your valuable inputs on this and also give a grade out 6 for this AWA. Thank you.
The following appeared in an announcement issued by the publisher of The Mercury, a weekly newspaper:
"Since a competing lower-priced newspaper, The Bugle, was started five years ago, The Mercury's circulation has
declined by 10,000 readers. The best way to get more people to read The Mercury is to reduce its price below
that of The Bugle, at least until circulation increases to former levels. The increased circulation of The Mercury will
attract more businesses to buy advertising space in the paper."
Discuss how well reasoned you find this argument. In your discussion,
be sure to analyze the line of reasoning and the use of evidence in the
argument. etc....................
--------------------------------------------Start-------------------------------------------------------------------
Although the argument has few merits ,a number of logical gaps undermine the claim. The author in the aurgument, concentrates on increasing the business of The Mercury by reducing its price and neglects various other aspects that can play a very pivotal role for the business of The Mercury.
Low-priced newspaper can definitely be one of the reason for decline in reader base for The Mercury, but it cannot be the only reason. There can be various other factors like a specific topic covered in The Mercury was not accurate in comparision to reality and The Bugle. Likewise, the range of topics like sports ,entertainment, politics, hollywood news etc. would have been substantially reduced and this might have caused disinterest in readers. Similarly, the font size and style used in The Mercury may have been a problem for readers to read at home and especially while commuting which might have caused the reader to switvh from The Mercury to The Bugle. Newspapers like The Bungle could also have opted for a different marketing stratergy like an yearly subscription of newspaper wherein the reader could pay for an entire year and save some money.
The increased circulation may not necessarily attract advertising space ,because it may be the case that along with The Mercury there may be several other newspapers whose circulation can increase, which may be more than that of The Mercury. As a result ,other newspapers will have more reader base as compared to The Mercury. So, it is quite predictable that purchase of advertising space of the newspaper with higher number of reader base will be more.
Along with reduction in price of the Mercury ,all the discussed points should also be taken into account to increase the business of The Mercury. Failing to do so, can seriously jeoparadise the business.

Hello Good ppl of PG,

Check the attachment. And please provide explanations so that it can help us all:-)
Hello,
And here is another. Please provide your explanation along with your answer. The objective is that everyone understands WHY the answer is correct 😃
PLEASE RATE MY ESSAY AND POINT OUT THE ERRORS AND FLAWS. PLS SUGGEST WAYS TO IMPROVE. THANKX IN ADAVANCE 😃
The following appeared in the editorial section of a corporate newsletter: “The common notion that workers are generally apathetic about management issues is false, or at least outdated: a recently published survey indicates that 79 percent of the nearly 1,200 workers who responded to survey questionnaires expressed a high level of interest in the topics of corporate restructuring and redesign of benefits programs.” Discuss how well reasoned … etc.
The author in his/her argument states that the long-time assumption that workers are uninterested in management issues is false, because a recent survey has portrayed a result that contradicts this assumption. However, the author fails to identify and discuss various key factors, based on which the argument could be evaluated more appropriately. The conclusion is based on unsupported claims and weak evidences, and therefore, requires a thorough analysis.
First, the argument provides a recent published survey as an example to bolster its claims. In contrast, one can argue that the survey might have been conducted by a non-reliable source or organization, and therefore unauthentic. For instance, the survey might have used workers with same opinion and their response to draw an inappropriate generalization, and the worker sample used for the survey was not a true representative of the entire class of workers and their different thinking. These reasons might have led to a false conclusion.
Second, the argument has not clearly mentioned the type of work of those workers who were surveyed. For example, the survey might have used the workers who have day-to-day interaction with the management or have to report to the management weekly, and therefore are constantly updated about the proceedings of management works. On the contrary, there is a high possibility that the survey has not included the workers who work at sites situated in remote places, away from the head office from where the management functions, as a result of which they are not aware of the management work, therefore, they fail to show any interest in management work proceedings.
In addition, the argument relies only on a single survey where workers were able to comprehend the management work procedures. However, it is also possible that majority of the workers, not included in the survey sample, are illiterate and could not comprehend managerial work skills that led to their reluctance in management proceedings.
Also, the argument would be strengthened if the author provides the missing links of evidences, for example, the source and rating of the organization that conducted the survey, the work profile of the workers used in the survey, and the approachability of the workers to the management so that they can connect well to management works.
In conclusion, the argument has questionable assumptions and relies heavily on unsupported claims. Without all the above-mentioned questions being answered, the author's claim remains unpersuasive.
Any one for GMAT prep in and around CHD?
