PrepTest 73, Logical Reasoning 2, Question 15
Summary
The content provides an in-depth explanation of how to approach paradox questions on the GRE, using a specific example involving dragonflies and red devil crayfish to illustrate the process of resolving a paradox by selecting the correct answer choice.
- Paradox questions involve scenarios where two seemingly contradictory facts coexist, requiring an explanation to resolve the contradiction.
- The example used involves dragonflies that thrive in the presence of their predators, the red devil crayfish, despite the crayfish eating their larvae.
- The correct answer choice explains a benefit provided by the crayfish that outweighs their predatory behavior, demonstrating how to resolve the paradox.
- Other answer choices are analyzed and dismissed because they either do not address the paradox, make the paradox worse, or are irrelevant to the scenario.
