PrepTest 73, Logical Reasoning 2, Question 2
Summary
The essence of tackling strengthen questions on the GRE involves identifying and bolstering the assumptions underlying an argument, using a detailed example of a community's opposition to a new house construction.
- Strengthen questions require supporting the argument's assumptions, which are not explicitly stated but necessary for the argument's conclusion.
- Understanding the argument involves knowing its conclusion and evidence, with the example provided focusing on a community's resistance to a house that would disrupt a historically significant landscape.
- The argument's assumption is that there are no unconsidered factors that would justify the construction, and the goal is to find evidence supporting this assumption.
- Answer choices are analyzed to find one that strengthens the argument by eliminating potential justifications for the construction, with the correct answer supporting the community's stance by emphasizing the importance of artistic and historical interests.
