In this one-hour session, you raised and answered lots of difficult questions, and I have never seen a tutor who can answer such an organized and specific manner. There are many tutors in the GMAT world, but a tutor like you is rare and respected. I have been a big fan of you. Thanks to Manhattan prep for offering such a great event.

Awesome video Jeffrey! When I get a 700+ on my GMAT, it'll be in big part because of you and these videos!

Hey, what would be the level of these questions? do they range between 650-700?

[adithya]

Sir, i have a doubt. at 44:13, in option A, what is the word "was" referring to?

[richardrisner]

The inventor, Tesla if not a modifier of Tesla but rather the acquisition of to valid subjects to form a single person referred to with names

[shivamamla]

Looking at options (A) and (B), in the 3rd question, if one's not sure about the parallelism there, is it possible to pick an option based on "burn up speeding" vs "burn up while speeding" ??

P.S. Thanks for the great video

in q2 when in option a when whale that beached (how is it a modifier it should be a verb) whale is doing the action ?

[betseatgetachew]

What levels would you say these said questions are e.g. 700, 600 etc?

[Abhishek-iyrz]

and how is it parallel whale that beached (verb) and was subsequently butchered (modifier) as the whale is not butchering itself

[harshkhatri]

in the first question, option 1, why is "he" acting as a subject and not a pronoun. Because he=Nikola Tesla, and "he" is used to avoid writing Nikola Tesla again? (and isn't that what pronouns do?)
