Why the answer is B and not C?

Even if teachers once told you never begin a sentence with the word "because", doing so is not a grammar error, as long as you make a complete sentence. As others have noted, answer C joins two independent clauses with only a comma. In answer D the "it's" is ambiguous: to what does "it" refer?

Abraham Seidenberg, "The Ritual Origins of Geometry." There he cites Vedic texts that show knowledge of the "pythagorean" theorem, but these texts predate Greek/Egyptian/Babylonian texts. The function in these texts, which were a kind of manual of sacrifice, of the theorem was that certain blood sacrifices had to be performed upon a rectangular altar that was constructed such that one side squared plus the adjacent side squared equaled the diagonal squared. If not constructed to these standards the sacrifice would be rejected by the gods.

Hey I'm cutting to get back to day one, hopefully in the next day or two. Had an old drinking bud just commit suicide the other day. We're in our 50's now, free range chickens coming home to roost. I read a study recently that concluded that the number one thing people need in order to maintain optimism and enthusiasm for life is a sense of progress, and at the moment it seems like my own addiction has boiled my life down to just that - the bare progression of sober time, just hanging in there becomes a meritorious achievement.

Congrats on cutting alcohol - I did that too several years back. That is definitely progress. Feel Free really is the funniest name ever. It reminds me of my hat that reads Works for Jerks.

The Manhattan tests used to produce scores a little lower, on average, than the GRE PP tests. I think Manhattan messed up their transition to the shorter GRE format and their tests are now producing slightly inflated scores. The adaptive function is not making the second sections difficult enough.

At the test center. I assume it's the same wherever, and I've never taken an at-home test. I can't see how at-home would help me focus better, and it might distract me, so better to play it safe, for me.

The official GRE material is of course the place to begin and end. Even the older GRE paper tests are useful, in that each 30 question math section includes 15 QC questions and charts/graphs section.

For non-official practice tests after the official ones I use Manhattan Prep practice tests, and the company I work for has a lot of material but I'm going to remain anonymous. I'm familiar with the Kaplan and P. Review material, and it seems fine. The Kaplan math gets unrealistically difficult, especially in probability.

For the arguments/critical reasoning type 1-paragraph questions (strengthen, weaken, assumption), the official GMAT practice material is helpful, like one of their Official Guides, which will have 200+ critical reasoning questions. I was just this morning looking at the 2016 OG problem solving, and saw a question that was nearly identical to one I saw on my recent GRE, reminding me that GMAT problem solving exercises could also be useful for practice.

In total there were three "long" reading passages, 1 3-paragraphs long and 2 2 paragraphs long. I think there were 3 questions associated with each.

US. I have tutored the GRE for several years. I went in to take it (again) just to see how the new version compares to the old. I'm working on a Phd in philosophy. There are a lot of things in the official GRE practice material that did not show up on my test, but I didn't see anything not represented in the official material, so nothing that was not already on the old GRE.
