Here you’ll find worked solutions to the official GRE Paper Practice Book (2nd ed.), which is available as a free download from the ETS website. The Practice Book is a full-length practice GRE, including 100 multiple-choice problems in Verbal and Quantitative Reasoning; these come with a simple answer key, but no detailed explanation of how the answers are arrived at. Thus, these pages are my attempt to supply the “missing” solutions, for my IU students and anyone else who’s interested.
