(You'll need the 3rd edition of the Red Book to use these solutions. But you shouldn't always trust the Red Book's own explanations of its questions, believe it or not! As Mike demonstrates repeatedly, the Red Book's explanations frequently rely on faulty and inconsistent reasoning. Mike shows you what's really going with the ACT in a way that the Red Book does not.)</li> </ul> <p><i>Click the "look inside" feature above to browse t
