    Re: New GRE (Revised) Text Completion Sample Questions

    Yeah sure.

    The first choice doesn't make sense at all, whereas both H and I could potentially work.

    However, to decide between the two, you have to choose the word that most logically makes sense.

    Would the Eminent Physiologists be videotaped to determine if they should be awarded? Probably not.
    Chances are good someone would video tape them for posterity, choice I, to benefit future generations.
