PrepTest 155

Incorrect. This answer is too strong with language like 'best" and "most." While the stimulus does state that designs that turn out well usually go through many drafts, it doesn't create a direct relationship between the number of drafts and being better, let alone the best.

Correct. Argument or Facts:
Facts

Question Type:
Must Be True

Stimulus Summary:
Good designs typically go through many improving drafts. Sketches usually allow designers to get a good sense of the pros and cons of the design. Weak points in a design's concept tend to be revealed in sketches.

Answer Anticipation:
One important thing to note is the language here—none of it is definitive. "Typically," "usually," and "tend to" are all just moderately strong. This guides the strength of the answer we can select, so we should rule out anything too strong.

Other than that, the majority of this stimulus is about using sketches to improve designs, so the correct answer will discuss that in some way.
Answer Explanation:
This answer is nice and weak, starting with "Many." And there's evidence supporting it–a design can start out inadequately conceptualized but turn out well after undergoing many drafts.
Key Takeaway:
For Must Be True questions, language strength in the stimulus can help eliminate answer choices quickly. Here, noting the non-absolute language in the stimulus allowed us to eliminate several answer choices quickly.

Incorrect. This answer is too absolute. While it's typical that designs that turn out well go through many drafts, that's not a guarantee that it's necessary to do so. Additionally, this answer is the inverse of the statement in the stimulus.

Incorrect. This answer is too strong in stating that these designs "rarely" turn out well. The stimulus doesn't give us enough information to know how frequently a design that's inadequate goes through a revision process and turns out good–it could be 90% of the time, or it could be 10% of the time. When they do go through this process, though, they typically do turn out well.

Incorrect. This answer is way too extreme in stating something will "never" happen "without" a certain process. There's no equivalently strong language in the stimulus, so we can rule this answer out.
