You are indeed the grandmother .. but do grandmothers charge ? :P

@axe1777 Yes. 😃 Let me know if you have any questions 😃

Happy GMATing !

Guys please help me with this question..post your explanation as well

The officials in Town X have suggested that the proceeds from the recent benefit concert be used to repave the streets in the downtown area. When this decision is voted upon in the fall, a majority of the town's citizens are expected to approve this allocation of funds. After all, according to a recent survey, most citizens are in favor of improvements that will benefit local merchants.
Which of the following choices is NOT an assumption that is being made by the author?
1)Well-paved streets near local merchants benefit their businesses.
2)The citizens do not feel that the money is better spent on other town improvements.
3)Local merchants have stores in the downtown area.
4)Streets in highly traveled areas need to be repaved periodically.
5)The people recently surveyed accurately represent the opinions of those who will vote on the repaving decision.

I am no expert but I guess the problem like this arises when you are in a rush during the exam. You overlook something or probably you miss out on the concept that has to be applied.

try two things :-
1. Try to identify the areas where this happens. For eg. RC or SC or CR..once you do that practice karo us section ko. That way the tendency to overlook the concept decreases.

2. Give yourself sometime on each question. Thode practice ke saath it should not be difficult. Assuming that you knows most of the concepts required to crack the question.

P.S. - You can ask Tanveer sir for help. See what he has to say.
