1) extravagant claim refers to the fact the passage conveys fancy and improbable twist to the law of energy and the author of the author says: no. You (someone) are trying to disrupt the law itself but your (someone) assertions do not have strong points

2) B is just part of the passage which explain how heat pumps work. It does not grasp the overall sense or idea of the passage.

Hope this helps



Oh I am sorry. By mentioning B, I was actually pointing C.
It might be confusing, so let me be rectify my second answer again.
Answer choice C is more likely about structure of the passage and E seems concluding passage. I failed to pick C over E, so please clarify difference between answer choice C and E. What made me fall into this?

(C) describe heat pumps, their use, and factors affecting their use

it is a fact answer or a detailed one. It DO NOT catch the whole idea

Please read the following pDF about the main idea for an RC passage

This is a question about the role of the portion/words highlighted

Now the refrigerant, as a high-pressure, cooled liquid, confronts a flow restriction which causes the pressure to drop. As the pressure falls, the refrigerant expands and partially vaporizes, becoming chilled.

The role of the portion is to explain HOW the refrigerate goes from high pressure to lower pressure and then , as a result, becoming cooler

22. According to the passage, the role of the flow restriction in a heat pump is to

(A) measure accurately the flow rate of the refrigerant mass at that point
(B) compress and heat the refrigerant vapor

(C) bring about the evaporation and cooling of refrigerant

Correct

(D) exchange heat between the refrigerant and the air at that point
(E) reverse the direction of refrigerant flow when needed


Hope now is more clear to you

I have confusion on questions 4 and 5.

For question 4, Didn't advertisers make an exaggerated claim that defied the principle of energy (which is stated in the first para)? So why isn't the answer A?

For question 5, Why can't B be the answer? As stated in the last para, the greatest drawback of the heat pump is that it doesn't work well when it is really cold outside (i.e. when it is most needed)

Very technical and difficult passage. Can we expect such passages in Modern GRE?

Am I the only one who gets scared when the most answers I come up with was C ?
It's weird when the most answer is C, so u start to doubt yourself and read again and take more time.
