Summary
The process of answering a global question on the GRE involves a methodical elimination of answer choices by consulting previous work and sketches to identify a statement that must be true.
  • Global questions require understanding the game as a whole, not just individual scenarios.
  • Answer choice elimination is based on whether the statement must be true across all considered scenarios.
  • For the specific question analyzed, the correct answer is that the digit 2 must appear before the digit 3, as confirmed by consulting the master diagram.
  • Incorrect answer choices are systematically eliminated by demonstrating scenarios where their conditions do not hold.
  • The method emphasizes the importance of maintaining and referring back to initial sketches or diagrams for accurate elimination and selection.
