Text Completion: GRE Verbal Interactive

[@ShadrackOsero]

I'm so glad to have scored correctly in all of the questions. Seems I'm on the right path to nailing the GRE test exam soon.

This is exactly what we needed, explanation of sentences along with the process of eliminating the wrong choices and picking the correct ones!

[@manikantavarma4908]

Doubt on question 6. Picking "enforce" for the second blank makes the sentence: "because public justice such as the kind meted out by a strong, centralised authority .... , is difficult to enforce." Based on this, it can be concluded that feuds arise when you adopt a centralised system. SO the correct answer for first blank has to be espouse(meaning: adopt or support)

[@Vineeth_Lifestyle]

Yes bro

[@saptarshidas488]

But, if you read futher, it says: "it is therefore not surprising that private recourse.... ". This tells us that such societies lack a centralized government. So blank 1 must be lack. As for the 2nd blank, a possible reason for this lack of centralization is required. In the first sentence it says that "feuds between individuals or groups tend to arise in societies" which hints us that consolidating power may be difficult in such societies, hence "enforce"

Gone to tat website awesome. looking forward on your future works...❤️❤️

[@tommyshelby2020]

Can you share few more insights on TC! Really struggling there! Couldn't have much takeaways like RC which strongly suggested some of your observations As always love your videos and support in this preparation

[@surajrao9729]

got 4/6 , chose confirm instead of reconcile (so reconcile is used for bring together two different things or bringing harmony) and i chose espouse for the last one because of misinterpreting the question statement. However we can simply choose 'lack' to be the answer by eliminating option choices as espouse and affirm end up giving almost similar meaning i.e to support something.

[@gitikadadhich9607]

Thanks Phillips u put forward great contents in ur videos.... Can u please make a video on every possible type of question form based on numbers that can be asked in gre...or very recurrently asked with examples as u always do...as it is somtimes difficult to solve them

Could you please upload a video on mixture and allegations, also on speed distance time?

[@RANGUBPHAI]

Thank you 🙏🏻

[@paraisoMusicaRelajante]

buen video do make more and more such videos

[@lawyerquarantine3002]

Hey Philip, got the 6th one wrong. isn't the fact that "public justice as the kind metered out by a strong, centralized authority or sophisticated judicial system, is difficult to enforce " would lead to the conclusion that there will be feuds between individuals or groups. The last line too then would logically follow to say that because of the difficulty in enforcement of justice in a centralized government, private recourse is more prevalent. I chose options A, E, H.

[@varun_MRG]

Very informative videos, could you do some more walkthroughs of RCs, that would be great

[@TheTestedTutor]

Did you see my name drop of you in my latest video?

[@varun_MRG]

@@TheTestedTutor thank you so much,really helpful

[@nadaelnokaly4950]

could you please advise me for best material for sentence equivalent and text completetion? I already studied vocab from several lists and flashcards, and I have limited time to solve SE and TC, I guess I can only do a total of 50 questions before moving to OG, so is manhattan 5lb enough for practise?

[@Mushicus]

Hey Philip! Your quant videos helped take my GRE practice quant grade from a 161 to a 169! I'm hopeful for a 330+ total when I retake the exam in September! Thank you!

[@sanji468]

What's your strategy?

[@TheTestedTutor]

Great job!

[@Mushicus]

@@sanji468 Well that score was from the powerprep 1 exam. I just did it to the best of my ability. I recently took powerprep plus exam 1 and only received a 160Q...so idk anymore. I don't feel very confident right now.

[@mohammedhussein2052]

temerity means rash, hurting someone's feelings

[@soumendash3911]

Why cant it be Munificent in question noo. 5?

[@LizbethD]

Because it doesn’t fit the context, a generous particle? It doesn’t mean ‘much efficient’ as it seems, but ‘much efficient to give’ will be the breakdown. Either ways, it does not fit the context.

[@yongzuogoh5286]

Qn 6 they said "...because public justice such as the kind meted out by a strong, centralized authority or sophisticated judicial system, is difficult to (enforce)." Is centralized authority not referring to centralized government? I thought it was, which meant that working backwards, the first blank would have been "espouse".

[@TheTestedTutor]

I think the main issue with 'espouse' is that the paragraph is talking about actual events and facts, not feelings and beliefs. So espouse, which means to support, is too weak. Also, logically, why would public justice be difficult to enforce if you have a centralized government? Makes more sense if you lack one...

[@yongzuogoh5286]

Agreed on the definition of espouse, it definitely wasn't the best word. But i thought it was the only word that is positive in blank (i). I guess I've mistaken the 2nd blank. I thought that saying a "centralized authority... difficult to enforce" meant central govt = not good. But it seemed more of having central govt = already bad, which implies that lack of central govt = worse. thus feuds happen. My interpretation of central govt = bad led to me picking a positive word for blank (i) lol.

[@yongzuogoh5286]

Nonetheless, thanks for your videos. Love your content.
