PrepTest 73, Logical Reasoning 1, Question 12



Summary
The content focuses on tackling sufficient assumption questions in the GRE, illustrating how to bridge the gap between evidence and conclusion to ensure a correct answer.
  • Identify the conclusion and the evidence provided in the question to understand the gap that needs to be bridged.
  • Use formal logic shorthand to simplify the relationship between the evidence and the conclusion.
  • Look for an answer choice that introduces new evidence or a principle that, when combined with the existing evidence, guarantees the conclusion's validity.
  • Answer choice A is correct because it establishes that without consent (which is implied by lack of consultation), the chairperson should not have released the report.
  • Other answer choices are dismissed because they either introduce irrelevant information or fail to conclusively bridge the evidence-conclusion gap.
