PrepTest 73, Logical Reasoning 2, Question 5
Summary
Mastering conclusion questions on the GRE involves identifying the core assertion that the rest of the argument aims to support, typically encapsulated in a pivotal sentence.
- Conclusion questions require pinpointing the argument's main assertion.
- The conclusion can often be found at the end of the first sentence, serving as the foundation for subsequent evidence and counterarguments.
- Identifying the conclusion involves distinguishing it from evidence, counter-evidence, and unrelated statements.
- The correct answer choice for a conclusion question is usually a direct restatement or closely paraphrases the identified conclusion.
- Incorrect answer choices may represent pieces of evidence, counter-evidence, or unrelated assertions not directly supporting the conclusion.
