PrepTest 73, Logical Reasoning 1, Question 16
Summary
The content provides an in-depth analysis of a method of reasoning question, focusing on understanding an argument's structure by identifying its conclusion and evidence, and applying this understanding to select the correct answer choice.
- Method of reasoning questions require describing how an argument is constructed, including its conclusion and evidence.
- The conclusion is identified by the keyword 'thus', and evidence is presented through comparisons between current practices and suggested improvements.
- The argument compares the awarding practices in architecture to those in science and movies to argue for a change in how architectural awards are given.
- The correct answer choice (A) is identified through understanding these comparisons and how they support the argument's conclusion.
- Other answer choices are systematically eliminated by analyzing their misinterpretation of the argument's conclusion or evidence.
