PrepTest 73, Logical Reasoning 1, Question 17
Summary
The essence of tackling parallel reasoning questions on the GRE involves identifying arguments with structurally similar evidence, conclusions, and logical flow.
- Parallel reasoning questions require matching the structure of the argument presented with one of the five answer choices.
- The key to solving these questions is to analyze and understand the original argument's structure, focusing on the conclusion and evidence.
- A correct answer choice will mirror the original argument's structure, presenting a scenario where two entities are compared based on a shared characteristic.
- Incorrect answer choices typically fail to replicate the original argument's specific comparison or logical structure.
- Identifying the correct answer involves eliminating choices that do not have two entities compared in a similar manner or that do not follow the same logical progression.
