June 2007, Logical Reasoning 1, Question 4
Summary
The content provides an in-depth analysis of how to approach and solve a flaw question on the GRE, focusing on identifying errors in arguments by dissecting their conclusion and evidence.
- Flaw questions require identifying the error in the argument by breaking it down into conclusion and evidence.
- The conclusion is often flagged by keywords such as 'it is clear that', guiding the test-taker to what needs to be scrutinized.
- Evidence against a claim, especially when biased, does not inherently validate the opposite of the claim.
- The correct answer is identified by recognizing the flaw in treating biased evidence as proof of the opposite conclusion.
- Other answer choices are systematically eliminated by understanding their irrelevance or misapplication to the argument's core flaw.
