June 2007, Passage 4, Question 27



Summary
The content focuses on dissecting a structure question from the GRE, specifically analyzing the relationship between the second and final paragraphs of a given passage, highlighting the method of using pollen grain analysis and its limitations.
  • The second paragraph introduces a new method involving pollen grain analysis.
  • The final paragraph discusses limitations of this method, particularly when the cultivated and wild plants are too similar.
  • Answer choices are evaluated based on their alignment with the relationship between the method introduced and its limitations.
  • The correct answer (C) identifies that the final paragraph qualifies the claim made in the second paragraph, indicating a limitation to the method's applicability.
  • Other answer choices are dismissed for misrepresenting the relationship between the paragraphs, either by suggesting the final paragraph supports, presents a problem to be solved, argues against, or offers procedures related to the method.
