PrepTest 73, Logical Reasoning 2, Question 16



Summary
The essence of tackling inference questions on the GRE involves constructing a logical chain from the given information to deduce a conclusion that is most strongly supported.
  • Inference questions demand proof of an answer choice using the provided information.
  • A causal chain is identified: exercise calms the mind, which reduces stress, thereby lowering blood pressure.
  • The correct answer is identified not by direct causation but through the logical sequence established by the facts.
  • Misleading answer choices often invert the causal relationship or generalize beyond the information given.
  • The process emphasizes understanding the logical flow and applying it to find the answer that fits within the established parameters.
