PrepTest 73, Logical Reasoning 1, Question 24
Summary
The essence of tackling paradox questions in the GRE is to identify how two seemingly contradictory statements can both be true by finding an explanation that resolves the apparent conflict.
- Paradox questions involve scenarios where two facts seem at odds, requiring an answer that explains how they can coexist.
- The example provided involves concertgoers who are dissatisfied with the local concert hall but oppose its demolition for a new one, despite wanting improvements.
- The correct answer choice offers a solution that satisfies the concertgoers' desires without needing to demolish the current concert hall, thus resolving the paradox.
- Answer choices that focus on irrelevant parties or fail to address the core conflict do not effectively resolve the paradox.
- The ability to discern relevant information from distractors is crucial in answering paradox questions effectively.
