PrepTest 73, Logical Reasoning 1, Question 8
Summary
The content focuses on the strategy for tackling Necessary Assumption questions on the GRE, illustrating how to identify the missing link that connects an argument's evidence to its conclusion.
- Necessary Assumption questions require identifying what an argument implicitly needs but does not state.
- Understanding the argument involves knowing its conclusion and the evidence provided to support it.
- The gap between evidence and conclusion is highlighted through an example involving the eyes of box jellyfish.
- The correct assumption fills the gap by aligning the evidence with the argument's conclusion, as demonstrated with the correct answer choice.
- Other answer choices are analyzed and dismissed based on their irrelevance or contradiction to the argument's needs.
