PrepTest 73, Passage 4, Question 23
Summary
The content focuses on tackling detail questions in the GRE, specifically those requiring identification of information explicitly mentioned in both passages of a comparative reading section.
- Detail questions ask for something directly stated in the passage, often seeking details found in both or only one of the compared passages.
- The example provided illustrates finding a detail mentioned in both passages about the transfer of property, highlighting the importance of thorough reading and note-taking.
- Answer choice A (transfer of property from one owner to another) is confirmed as correct by cross-referencing details noted from both passages.
- Other answer choices are systematically evaluated and dismissed based on their presence or absence in the respective passages, demonstrating a methodical approach to elimination.
- The process emphasizes the necessity of distinguishing between different bases (philosophical vs. legal) and contexts (ideal vs. practical) presented in the passages.
