Are you saying idioms won't be asked anymore
ps25 SaysAre you saying idioms won't be asked anymore
Yes. This is a confirmed news. Sorry i dont have the link right now, but you can google it. 😃
I don't think one can ignore idioms since what is meant is not idioms precisely but expressions, the way they are used by the native speakers. they will be there anyhow!

I second you........

Instead of having a discussion here we shall wait till the official annoucment from the GMAC..even i heard that idioms will not be used but lets wait n watch
OFF TOPIC on this forum, but can anyone suggest me if they know someone who takes online classes for verbal???
Thanks
Hi,
Please can anyone tell me the difference between "If" and "Whether".
I got confused again. :(
Actually, in SC Grail its given as IF is used for one condition and Whether for more than one conditions.
In Manhattan, exactly opposite is stated i.e. Whether is used in case of a single condition and IF in case of more than one.
Please clarify.
Thanks In Advance. 😃
Can anyone post the list of non - American Idioms?

if is used for condition, if X then Y, that means Y will occur only when X has occurred or when X will hold true, Y will occur.
Whether is for "choice" (not conditional) often mutually exclusively choices -
whether you get 750+ (or not) depends on your luck (or not is implied by usage of whether)
one will get selected for a course by b-school whether or not one gets 750+ (whether or not is explicitly stated) - if one gets 750+ or even if one doesn't get 750+, he or she will get selected for the course
if you study hard before test, rest assured you'll be confident for test (there is no choice here),
Btw which page of Manhattan guide, I could not find it, do you have edition 4?
Hi,
Thanks for the reply to earlier posts. I have one more doubt.
Please can anyone tell me when to use "who" and when to use "that".
I frequently get confused with the usage of two.
Thanks in advance 😃

who is used for human/person. that is used for non-human entities.
Hi,
Please look at the foll:
A certain school's admissions policy requires of both undergraduate and graduate schools that academic prerequisites be the same for programs historically entered by male students as for programs requiring equivalent academic rigor that are usually entered by female students.
A. that academic prerequisites be the same for programs historically entered by male students as for programs requiring equivalent academic rigor that are
B. that academic prerequisites for programs historically entered by male students should be the same as for a program requiring equivalent academic rigor
C. to demand academic prerequisites the same in programs historically entered by male students as in programs of equivalent academic rigor that are
D. to demand academic prerequisites the same apart from whether a program was historically entered by male students or is one demanding equivalent academic rigorE. to demand academic prerequisites as much for programs historically entered by men as for a program demanding equivalent academic rigor
OA. is (A). But I have a problem with this. (Please see Bold faced). Shouldn't it be:
As "those" for the ......
Please clarify..!
TIA
Hi,
Another one!
Augustus DeMorgan made many valuable contributions to calculus, trigonometry, algebra, and logic; but perhaps his most famous academic contribution, a pair of theorems concerning complementation of sets, is still known today as DeMorgans Rules.
A. a pair of theorems concerning complementation of sets, isB. a pair of theorems concerning complementation of sets, areC. two theorems that have to do with complementation of sets, areD. two theorems that define complementation of sets, isE. two theorems that are both related to complementation of sets, are
OA - A.
My Ans - D logic (a pair can not be called Rules (Plural)).
Please clarify.
TIA 😃

D is wrong, are you sure "pair of theorems concerning complementation of sets" define complementation? No- So it alters meaning.
What is "a pair of theorems..." here, a modifier of "academic" contribution(ask yourself what is his famous contribution? and answer will be 'a pair of...')
pair is more concise than "two theorems", and C/E are wordy and D is wrong, so A is right as B is also wrong (are for singular - contribution)
Hi,
Thanks for earlier replies.
Please explain the "putting" in the following.
When dramatic news headlines cause children to become anxious, psychologists advise parents to discuss the disturbing event with them, putting the news coverage into perspective, avoid overreacting, and to turn to a counselor or clergy member if a child shows signs of long-lasting distress.

This is tough one, especially when putting and disturbing appearing as a "parallel", if you carefully note -
putting the news coverage into perspective
is "a verb modifier", ask yourself what is purpose of the above sentence part / how it relates to previous or later parts of sentence?
parallel structure is "when...., psychologists advise parents to discus....,to avoid...and to turn...
So answer is either B or E, E violates parallel structure by putting put without "to", making it "putting" makes it a "verb modifier" modifying "to discuss", (why to discuss with children a disturbing news - putting the news coverage in to perspective), B is answer.
