Question #1

The following appeared in a letter to the editor of a Batavia newspaper "The department of agriculture in Batavia reports that the number of dairy farms throughout the country is now 25 percent greater than it was 10 years ago. During this same time period, however, the price of milk at the local Excello Food Market has increased from $1.50 to over $3.00 per gallon. To prevent farmers from continuing to receive excessive profits on an apparently increased supply of milk, the Batavia government should begin to regulate retail milk prices. Such regulation is necessary to ensure fair prices for consumers." Write a response in which you discuss what questions would need to be answered in order to decide whether the recommendation is likely to have the predicted result. Be sure to explain how the answers to these questions would help to evaluate the recommendation.

    FAQ

    Q1: How much does the GRE General Test cost?
    A: As of October 2026, ETS charges US$249 for the GRE General Test in most of the world and US$237.86 in China; test takers in India are directed to the ETS India site for local pricing. Rescheduling costs US$55 (US$55.43 in China), and eligible test takers can apply for a fee reduction voucher that lowers the test fee to US$100.
    Q2: How many questions are in GRE Verbal Section 1, and how long is it?
    A: The Verbal Reasoning measure of the real exam has two sections: Section 1 has 12 questions in 18 minutes and Section 2 has 15 questions in 23 minutes.

    Q3: What question types appear in the GRE Verbal section?
    A: The exam uses three question types: Reading Comprehension, Text Completion (passages of one to five sentences with one to three blanks) and Sentence Equivalence (a single sentence with one blank where you must pick two answers that produce equivalent meanings). ETS says roughly half the measure is passage-based reading comprehension and the other half is completing sentences or paragraphs.

    A: Verbal Reasoning is reported on a 130 to 170 scale in 1-point increments, the same scale as Quantitative Reasoning, while Analytical Writing is scored 0 to 6 in half-point steps.
