"Confusing-correlation-with-causation"
A favorite GMAT CR fallacy.
Example: Grandma sneezed, so a tornado hit Nebraska.
"Who" vs "Whom" on SC"Who" is the "subject" form."Whom" is the "object" form.
Backup strategy: On the real GMAT, if you get an RC that you just can't comprehend......you must mark randomly and move on...- Don't let one RC decide the fate of your complete GMAT score.-- Rather, save time and get the remaining questions correct!
Range:
The difference between the greatest and smallest elements in a set.
Example: {10, 7, 5, -20, 10, 15, 25, 50, 100, 200, -100}
Range = 200 – (-100) = 200 + 100
= 300
"So as to" is incorrect.
“So + cause + as to + effect" is a correct usage.

Q. Is X a multiple of 24?
(1) X is a multiple of 6.
(2) X is a multiple of 4.
X = 24 satisfies both (1) and (2), leads to "Yes".
X = 12 satisfies both (1) and (2), leads to "No".
"Inconsistent". Hence, insufficient. Answer is E.
