June 2007, Logical Reasoning 2, Question 2
Summary
The content delves into the strategy for tackling paradox questions on the GRE, specifically focusing on 'except' questions that involve identifying the option that does not resolve a given discrepancy.
- Paradox questions require finding an answer that resolves a discrepancy between two observations.
- In 'except' questions, the goal is to identify the one answer that does not explain the discrepancy.
- The example provided involves explaining an unexpected increase in gas bills despite the purchase of a highly efficient gas heater.
- Answer choice A is identified as correct because it fails to explain why the gas bill increased, maintaining the paradox.
- Other answer choices (B, C, D, E) offer explanations that resolve the paradox, making them incorrect for an 'except' question.
