A. statement 1 alone is sufficient, but statement 2 alone is not sufficient to answer the question
B. statement 2 alone is sufficient, but statement 1 alone is not sufficient to answer the question
C. both statements taken together are sufficient to answer the question, but neither statement alone is sufficient
D. each statement alone is sufficient
E. statements 1 and 2 together are not sufficient, and additional data is needed to answer the question


●Question 4. Problem Solving

What is the number of the diagonals of the 10-polygons ?
A. 20 B. 27 C. 35 D. 43 E. 45



——————————————————————

●Answer to Q1: A

With the preceding expression ‘more safeguards’ given, the answer choices B, C, and D are committing a decisive error of using the subordinate conjunction ‘as’ instead of ‘than’. Then, A, compared with E, is more effective because it is using the verb ‘does’, which makes the comparison between ‘the American judicial system’ and ‘the legal system of any other country’ clearer.

●Answer to Q2: E

The goal of this question is to find an answer choice that must be logically correct provided a list of premises. The only choice that must be true is choice E. Four shipments were sent to Truax Construction last week and three out four shipments were building supplies. However, since only building supplies were sent out on Friday, at least one of the shipments must had sent out before Friday. The trick on this question is that only two types of shipments, specially ordered and building supplies, those are sent out on Thursday and Friday, respectively, are mentioned on the argument. Once you figure it out the problem is relatively easy one.

●Answer to Q3: A

Condition 1) x=1. Sufficient,
Condition 2) x=1, -1. NOT sufficient, therefore the best answer is A.

●Answer to Q4: C

Because the formula of the number of n-polygon’s daigonals is n(n-3)/2, n=10, 10(10-3)/2=35, therefore the best answer is C. 35
