33. If Statement I alone is sufficient to answer the question, but Statement II alone is not sufficient, what is the correct answer choice? — Statement I alone is sufficient
34. If both Statement I and Statement II are required to answer the question, but neither statement alone is sufficient, what is the correct answer choice? — Both statements together are sufficient
35. In Data Sufficiency, if Statement I leads to two possible answers and Statement II also leads to two possible answers, but the set of possible answers is different, what is the conclusion? — Neither statement is sufficient
36. If Statement I alone is sufficient to answer the question, and Statement II alone is also sufficient to answer the question, what is the correct answer choice? — Either statement alone is sufficient
37. If Statement I provides a definitive 'yes' or 'no' answer to a Data Sufficiency question, and Statement II provides a definitive 'yes' or 'no' answer, but they are different, what is the conclusion? — Neither statement is sufficient
38. In Data Sufficiency, if Statement I gives a unique value for a variable and Statement II gives a different unique value for the same variable, what is the implication? — There is a contradiction, and the problem is ill-posed
39. If Statement I and Statement II provide contradictory information regarding the problem, what is the correct answer choice? — Neither statement is sufficient
40. In Data Sufficiency, what does it mean if Statement I alone is sufficient? — Statement I provides enough information to arrive at a unique answer.
