Logical reasoning PrepTest 150 · Section 3 · Question 25

Incorrect. The connection isn't between the prior medium and the offshoot, but rather the offshoot and said offshoot's ultimate form.

Incorrect. The argument isn't about similarities between media, but rather about the evolution of a single medium.

Incorrect. The conclusion is about understanding a technology, not about the ultimate form itself.

Correct. Argument or Facts:
Argument

Valid or Flawed:
Flawed

Question Type:
Strengthen (Principle)

Stimulus Summary:
E-books are new and are thus limited to content adapted from regular books. Since it will eventually take a different form, we can't understand e-books yet.

Answer Anticipation:
Simplified, this argument becomes, "Since something isn't in its ultimate form, it can't be understood." The correct answer will likely connect those two ideas (not in its ultimate form, not being understood).

Answer Explanation:
This answer connects understanding with the evolution of the medium, which is the way that it goes from its current form to its ultimate form. It connects the ideas of the argument, and it thus justifies the reasoning.

Key Takeaway:
For Strengthen (Principle) questions, connect the premises to the conclusion and don't overthink it.

Incorrect. There's no indication that e-books will have richer and more varied content, just different content.
