Показать описание
Do you struggle if a comparison question doesn't have a clear comparison marker in an Executive Assessment sentence correction question? Or do comparison questions that use ellipses send you into a spin?

In this video, Bransen -- a GMAT Ninja tutor -- takes a further look at how the Executive Assessment uses comparisons in sentence correction questions. He'll show you how to identify the right way of comparing two things in a question and how to use this knowledge to efficiently eliminate answer choices.

I cannot understand the last question. I was stuck between A and E, and I eliminated B, C and D because I thought “it’s return IN 1910-1911” made more sense than “it’s return OF 1910-1911”.

Do y'all have a similar series for RC or CR? If not, any good substitutes you recommend?

This series has greatly deepened my understanding of SC!

Hello! Thank you for the video! In Q1, option E, shouldn't we say "about as many as people are enrolled in" for a valid comparison, not "about as many as are enrolled in" ?

Hey GMAT Ninja Tutoring team, Thank you for the amazing series!

I had a doubt about the selection of choice C for Q3 (Sacagawea Dollar).
Here the meaning that could be implied for 'it weighs only 8.1 grams, far less than four quarters' is that '8.1 grams are less than four quarters'. Wouldn't this render the choice incorrect? I was weighing in choice B because it states 'far lighter than four quarters' which clears up the meaning completely.

@GMAT Ninja Tutoring, Thanks for sharing all these videos on SC, they have been super helpful.

I have a small doubt in Choice C of Sacagawea dollar coin question @23:00, using "far less than", which is used for uncountable noun and weight is countable/measurable.

Hi Team, had a doubt. In the first question, as per previous video on Comparisons, the comparison indicator "as well as" should compare grammatically similar things. Isn't "nearly 8 million people" before the "as well as" acting as a noun? And the 2nd part "are enrolled in nation's 4 year colleges" acting as a phrase? Please help.

Hello! Thanks for the explanations :)

I had a question about the second question (Sacagawea coin).
For Option C: "[...] because it weighs only 8.1g, far less than four quarters, which weigh 5.67g each".

Also on the last question (Halley's comet):
I thought the comparison would have been between "Halley's comet" and [whatever follows 'as']. What is wrong with this logic?

Thank you in advance!

How do we know when to compare a preposition + noun like we did with Q4 ("In no other historical sighting") versus when to compare a noun + verb as we did with Q2 ("ramjet generally cannot")? Also, why can't "did" refer to the first "did" in 34:45?

Hey GMAT Ninja, Thank you for the amazing series! What level of difficulty do the examples fall under?

Hey, i have a doubt on the last one
I think option E would have also made a good option since we have a comparison between 'In' no other historical sighting with anything in Which only option C or E serves so how do we know where that in should have been mentioned..both of these do represent timelines only then they do make sense fir option E also. Could please make me understand the thought process behind elimination of E

great video as always, but man, these ads are getting intense. I saw more ad than video. I get it though, you deserve to get paid for this high quality content and the effort you put in, but there were just...so...many..ads

hey gmatninja, I doubt for question 3. Don't we use less for uncountable objects? But since we can count weight, shouldn't we be using few?

In question 2, if we pickup ramjet as the noun being compared then 3 options straight away get cancelled, and for the rest two we can focus on parallelism? Do you think this can be a right approach?

Q3 whats the idiom error with rather than? Also how is C correct? it says weighs 8 grams, far less than four quarters' and not 'far less than weight of four quarters'

In the dollar coin question, can less and lighter be used as a decision point?
