GMAT考试中,一般“评估题”的选项都是一般疑问句,例如:
Whether the principles on which the machine operates have been known to science for a long time?
若我们对这个一般疑问句回答“Yes”可以加强推理文段,回答“No”可以削弱推理文段;或者回答“Yes”可以削弱推理文段,回答“No”可以加强推理文段,那么该选项即为评估题型的答案。
由此可知,评估问法和“削弱/加强问法”本质上也是相同的。
对传统问法答案的总结如下:
削弱:A/B/C
加强:not A/ not B/ not C
假设:not A/ not B/ not C
评估:A和not A / B 和not B /C和not C
