Question Type:
Argument Completion

Stimulus Summary:
New educational methods: Better at creative thinking
Old educational methods: Better at memorization
Grodex's priorities: Creativity is required; memorization is not
Conclusion: Grodex should use the new methods

Answer Anticipation:
The argument here bases its conclusion on a corporation's training methods based on what is true in educational methods for children. That argument is based on adults being comparable to children as far as learning goes. Since the argument itself never directly compares how adults learn and how children learn, the correct answer should draw that parallel.

Answer Explanation:
This answer choice establishes that teaching methods have similar effects on both children and adults. Since the argument was based on an assumption that children and adults are similar in their learning, this answer completes the argument.

Key Takeaway:
Argument Completion questions frequently deal in comparisons. Being on the lookout for that would help to focus your anticipation on comparing the two groups mentioned in the stimulus, which would lead you straight to the correct answer.

Incorrect. Grodex Corporation's jobs don't require strong memorization skills, so an argument about making up for a deficiency in those skills is out of scope.
