PrepTest 73, Logical Reasoning 1, Question 6
Summary
The essence of tackling strengthen questions on the GRE involves identifying and supporting the assumptions underlying an argument by choosing the most appropriate answer choice.
- Strengthen questions require understanding the argument's conclusion and evidence, then supporting its assumptions.
- The argument's conclusion is that criticisms of the film Quirks for not being realistic are misguided.
- The main evidence supporting this conclusion is that Quirks is funny and being funny is crucial for a comedy.
- The correct answer choice will support the assumption that Quirks should be judged by comedy standards rather than realism.
- Answer choice D, which states that films are successful if they succeed within their genre, best supports the argument's assumptions.
