How I got 51 on GMAT Verbal - Critical Reasoning Complete Lesson: Necessary & Sufficient

On my first attempt at the GMAT, I got a 780 with a 51 on Verbal and no questions missed. Today I look at critical reasoning questions involving Necessary and Sufficient conditions, which can be quite tricky. In this complete lesson, I walk through understanding the different ways necessary and sufficient conditions can be represented within questions, and how to tackle them on the GMAT.

Hi, I'm not able to understand why option 'b' is wrong in the last question. 'ONLY THOSE' doesn't this act as a filter for people to be selected for the interview , I think only acts as an extreme word. Can you please clear my understanding of only.

amazing video, great explanations!
do you mind doing one for this question? thanks!!
Politician: Nobody can deny that homelessness is a problem, yet there seems to be little agreement on how to solve it. One thing, however, is clear: ignoring the problem will not make it go away. Only if the government steps in and provides the homeless with housing will this problem disappear, and this necessitates increased taxation. For this reason, we should raise taxes.
Which one of the following principles, if valid, most supports the politician's argument?
(A) Only if a measure is required to solve a problem should it be adopted
(B) Only if a measure is sufficient to solve a problem should it be adopted
(C) If a measure is required to solve a problem, then it should be adopted
(D) If a measure is sufficient to solve a problem, then it should be adopted
(E) If a measure is sufficient to solve a problem, any steps necessitated by that measure should be adopted
