GMAT邏輯基礎(chǔ)知識之Strengthen and Paradox.

　　作為中國考生失分最為嚴重的邏輯部分，往往是對GMAT邏輯基礎(chǔ)知識不夠了解，今天小編就針對GMAT邏輯考試基礎(chǔ)知識：Strengthen and Paradox給大家提供一些建議，希望能給大家一些幫助。

　　Strengthen and Paradox

　　Strengthen and weaken are two sides of the same coin: the difference is only the angle from which you look at the same coin(problem).

　　Prompts leading to strengthen:

　　? Which one of the following, if true, most strengthens the argument?

　　? Which one of the following, if true, most supports the director’s argument?

　　? Which one of the following, if true, most justifies the teacher’s reasoning?

　　Prompts that ask you what most justifies the argument are strengthen prompts, while prompts that ask you what justifies the conclusion are sufficient assumption prompts.

　　Also, prompts that ask you which answer most supports that passage are strengthen prompts, while prompts that ask you which answer is most supported by the passage are most strongly supported prompts. The key difference between them is: what is supporting what; is the passage supposed to support the answer or be supported by the answer?

　　Approach these strengthen questions just as you would weaken questions except that instead of exploiting the argument’s weakness, you are supposed to use NEW information to buttress the argument or to eliminate the weakness.

　　Prompt leading to paradox:

　　? Which one of the following, if true, most helps to explain the apparent paradox above?

　　? Which one of the following, if true, most helps to resolve the conflict described above?

　　? Which one of the following, if true, would most fectively reconcile the discrepancy described above?

　　Bore you look at the answers:

　　1. Paradox questions usually give two facts that appear incompatible. Single out these two facts.

　　2. Ask yourself, “Why one of the facts is true, even though the other fact is true as well?” Usually one the facts will fit better after why while the other fact will fit better after even though.

　　3. Predict a possible answer by answering your “Why . . . even though . . .” question.

　　Then look for the answer which best explains your “Why . . . even though . . .” question. The correct answer choice must explain why both facts might actually be true without contradicting each other. Some wrong answers will explain why one fact is true without addressing the paradox.

　　上面就是對GMAT邏輯基礎(chǔ)知識之Strengthen and Paradox的介紹，誠然，僅僅掌握一些GMAT邏輯基礎(chǔ)知識是不夠的，但我們需要將這名邏輯基礎(chǔ)打好，只有這樣，我們才能理解和挑戰(zhàn)高難度的GMAT邏輯題目。
