Chapter 9.Resolve the paradox
1. Stimulus Peculiarities
Besides the discrepant or contra dictionary facts, most Resolve the Paradox stimuli contain the following features:
a). No conclusion
The author is not attempting to persuade you,he or she just presents two sets of contradictory facts.When you read a stimulus without a conclusion that contains a paradox, expect to see a Resolve Question. If you read a fact set that does not contain a paradox, expect to see a Must Be True question or a Cannot Be True question (less likely).
b). Language of contradiction
In order to present a paradox, the test makers use language that signals a contradiction is present, such as But, However, Yet, Although, Paradoxically, Surprisingly
2.Queation stems features
1.An addition that the answer choices should be accepted as true
2.Key words that indicates your task is to resolve a problem
Action:resolve,explain,reconcile
Problem aradox,discrepancy,condition,conflict,puzzle
which of the following hypotheses best explains the contast described above
on the gmat,the word "explain"is used more frequently than any other word to indicate the presence of a resolve question
A resolveX question would present four incorrect answers that resolve or explain the situation.The one correct answer would either confuse the situation or,more likely,have no impact on the situation
3.Active Resolution
The correct answer will actively resolve the paradox, that is, it will allow both sides to be factually correct and it will either explain how the situation came into being or add a piece of information that shows how the two ideas or occurrences can coexist.
Because you are not seeking to disprove one side of the situation, you must select the answer choice that contains a possible cause of the situation. So, when examining answers, ask yourself if the answer choice could lead to the situation in the stimulus. If so, the answer is correct.
4.The following types of answers are incorrect:
If an answer supports or proves only one side of the paradox, that answer will be incorrect. The correct answer must show how both sides coexist.
If the stimulus contains a paradox where two items are similar, then an answer choice that explains a difference between the two cannot be correct. If the stimulus contains a paradox where two items are different, then an answer choice that explains why the two are similar cannot be correct.
In short, a similarity cannot explain a difference, and a difference cannot explain a similarity.
错误答案特征
1. 只解释一方
2. 用相似性解释不同,用不同解释相似性
solve the paradox的问题中，因为否定一方面从而肯定另一方面的答案很明显，所以GMAC基本不考。它考的是，正确的选项能够解释出现矛盾的原因或者能够让两个矛盾同时成立的另外的条件
5. Address the Facts.答案要和题目内的已知事实想吻合
When attempting to resolve the paradox in the stimulus, you must address the facts of the situation. Many incorrect answers will try to lure you with reasonable solutions that do not quite meet the stated facts. These answers are incorrect. The correct answer must conform to the specifics of the stimulus otherwise how could it resolve or explain the situation?
恩恩，感觉是像shell game,我还是照样没发现出来哇
7。RESOLVE THE PARADOX
看原文：找出原文的矛盾或奇怪的现象
找答案：用相关无关排除答案，和具体的矛盾的事有关无关，结合TEST。
TEST：答案必须使原文相矛盾的事物不矛盾或都是真，都成立 |
