LS is right. Yiayia's explanation is also to the point: http://forum.chasedream.com/GMAT_CR/thread-498347-1-1.html?userid=688165 The key is to write down all the logical arguments presented in the passage, like what Yiayia did. Then the gap is obvious if you want to go from " eople outsmart others" to "people showcase their abilities,", the main conclusion of the passage. -- by 会员 sdcar2010 (2012/5/3 8:58:36)
thx~~~~~soooooooooooo much~~~~ Premise1:People(S) who do not believe that others are smarter than them are confident in their own abilities.Hence,conclusion:people(O) who tend to outsmart others think of a difficult task as a showcase rather than a hurdle,since primise2:this is precisely how people(C) who are confident in their own abilities regard such tasks.
S→O
C→O
when I first deal with this problem, I focus too much on “hence” and “since”, and I want to figure out the logic chain as always.
I got that:primise1+primise2→conclusion,so we need:S=C
How terrible!!I leave out many elements. I have no idea what I was thinking about at that time.
Now I figure it out:
People(S) who do not believe that others are smarter than them are confident in their own abilities. Hence,people(O) who tend to outsmart others think of a difficult task as a showcase rather than a hurdle, since this is precisely how people who are confident in their own abilities regard such tasks.
1.S→C O→T,1结合2可以退出S→T,而我们需要O→T,所以必须有O=S
2.C→T
