"Do so" is the correct usage when "so" refers to an action."Do it" is the correct usage when "it" refers to a noun.
As "do" generally refers to actions, "do so" is more often correct than "do it".
You should regularly revisit SC concepts.Make SC Stage-1 videos and GMAT Shots your good friends!
Commas cannot join two independent clauses.Incorrect: Amy sings, she enjoys it.Correct: Amy sings; she enjoys it.Correct: Amy sings, and she enjoys it.
Spot the error: Teacher taught that the Earth revolved around the sun.
"revolved" is not correct. It must be "revolves".(Universal truths are always conveyed in simple present tense).
Approach for CR boldface questions:
Step 1: Identify the conclusion.Step 2: Link the bold part(s) with the conclusion.Step 3: Know what to expect from the correct answer choice.Step 4: Eliminate four choices.
Percentage change:
[(New Value-Old Value)/ Old Value] x 100
Please note: the denominator has "old value".
Comma followed by present participle (verb+ing) generally leads to a cause-effect relationship.
Example:Jack performed brilliantly, leaving the audience delighted.
Do not chase "tricks/tips/shortcuts". Chase "concepts"!
Do not chase "scores"; chase "learning". Scores will follow.
On the verbal section, be cautious when you see an answer choice with "extreme" emotion.
Answer choices with "moderate" tonality have a higher probability of being correct.
1-week gap in prep hurts your progress by 3-weeks.
"Generalization"- The fallacy of making a claim on evidence that is too small.
A favorite GMAT CR fallacy.
Example: At 90, Mr McGill drinks sweetened soda every day and yet, maintains good health. The elderly can, therefore, have sweetened soda every day and, yet, maintain good health.
