Summary
The content focuses on how to approach and solve flaw questions in the GRE exam, specifically by identifying errors in arguments through understanding the argument's conclusion and evidence.
- Flaw questions require identifying the argument's conclusion and its supporting evidence.
- A common flaw is confusing correlation with causation, mistaking the correlation of two factors for one causing the other.
- The correct answer choice points out the flaw by indicating that a cause is inferred from a mere correlation.
- Other answer choices are dismissed by analyzing the argument's structure and the evidence provided, emphasizing the importance of closely examining the argument's claims and the basis for its conclusion.
