GRE 31-Verbal Question 1

By Unknown
VERBAL
Question 1
British modernists used the literary tropes of fragmentation and failure to explore the impending ____(i)____ of British colonialism;
illustrating the imminent ____(ii)____ of the empire through their literature.

Blank i  1-averece   2-castigation 3-dissolution

Blank ii 1-sunset       2-rise        3-wealth
----------------------------------------------------------------



dissolution and sunset
This sentence employs parallel structure, and the semicolon trigger tells you that both blanks will go in the same direction; either of
your two clues, fragmentation or failure, can be recycled into both blanks. Of the choices for the 􀁌rst blank, only dissolution makes
sense; of the choices for the second blank, only sunset is sufficiently negative.

Ballparking technique

By Unknown
As a general rule, ballpark first and calculate second. Naturally you should end up ballparking more at then end of the section and calculating more at the beginning, but it’s a good rule of thumb. Ballparking can take many forms. The first benefit to Ballparking is that you can’t do it if you don’t understand the question. The basic process of trying to come up with a ballpark range for an answer involves arriving at a conceptual understanding of what the question is asking. If you are at the tail end of a section, you might stop here and pick an answer. If you are in your first ten, you might use this as a way of figuring out how to go about determining the actual answer. Always, Ballparking is a valuable way to check your work. GRE questions tend to make sense. The correct answer to a question asking for the number of students in a class will not contain a fraction (ETS won’t generally chop a student in half). A question in which a person bicycles uphill one way and downhill on the ...
