Chapter 4 .Must be true Questions
1.must be true questions
Do not bring in imformation from outside the stimulus(aside from commensense assumptions),all of the imformation necessary to the answer question resides in the stimulus.The correct answer to a Must Be True question can always be proven by referring to the facts sated in the stimulus.


2.question stem formats

“If the statements above are true, which one of the following must also be true?”

“If the information above is correct, which one of the following conclusions can be properly drawn on the basis of it?”

“The statements above, if true, most strongly support which one of the following?”

“Which one of the following can be properly inferred from the passage?”

“Which one of the following is most strongly supported by the information above?”

you must lock down on the understanding required of this question category:
what did you read in the stimulus and what do you know on the basis of the reading

3.Primary Object 4:Read closely and know precisely what the author said

4.Modifier words should be revisited
Words like some and many encompass many different possibilities and are broad scope indicators
Words likemust and none indicate a narrow scope

Highly Attention: Numbers & Percentage, Probability Indicators, Modifier Words (Differences between “many, all, entirely, most, etc.”)

5.correct answers in Must be true questions reviewed
(1)Prephased Answers
Paraphrased Answers are answers that restate a portion of the stimulus in different terms. Because the language is not exactly the same as in the stimulus, Paraphrased Answers can be easy to miss. Paraphrased Answers are designed to test your ability to discern the author’s exact meaning. Sometimes the answer can appear to be almost too obvious since it is drawn directly from the stimulus.
(2) Answers that are the sum of two or more stimulus statement (Combination Answers)
Any answer choice that would result from combining two or more statements in the stimulus will be correct.


6.Incorrect answers in Must be true questions
1)Could be True or Likely to be True Answers
These answers are attractive because there is nothing demonstrably wrong within them(For example,they don't contain statement that are counter to the  stimulus). Regardless, like all incorrect answers, these answers fail the Fact Test.




2) Exaggerated Answers
Exaggerated Answers take information from the stimulus and then stretch that information to make a broaden statement that is not supported by the stimulus.

3)“New” Information Answers
New Information Answers include information not explicitly mentioned in the stimulus. Be careful with these answers, because sometimes they may be correct:

First, examine the scope of the argument to make sure the “new” information does not fall within the sphere of a term or concept in the stimulus.
Second, examine the answer to make sure it is not the consequence of combining stimulus elements.

4)The Shell Game
An idea or concept is raised in the stimulus, and then a very similar idea appears in the answer choice, but the idea is changed just enough to be incorrect but still attractive.
感觉像高考语文社科文阅读中常讲的“偷换概念”，bible上的那个pin题目就做错了

5)The Opposite Answer
The Opposite Answer provides an answer that is completely opposite of the stated facts of the stimulus.

6)The Reverse Answer
The Reverse Answer is attractive because it contains familiar elements from the stimulus, but the reversed statement is incorrect because it rearranges those elements to create a new, unsupported statement.
E.g.
Stimulus:Many people have some type of security system in their homes.
Reverse Answer: Some people have many types of security system in their homes.


7.stimulus VS assertions
 Stimulus里面通篇全是引述的别人的话 "Some environmentalists said ...... Many environmentalists thought ...."（大概这样），然后有两个选项都是直接陈述观点（类似"people should protect  natural resources because blabla"），说这种就必然错误，因为Stimulus里面仅仅是引述别人观点，没有说这是真理。这题正确答案提到了"environmentalists"
                                             (谢谢baby姐姐指出~~~！！）



注意事项
1.    预判
2.    必要的时候回读,不是重新读
3.    正确答案一般是1.原文意思的重复或者是2.内容的组合. Must pass the fact test.
4. 注意答案和题干中包含opinion还是fact set, 用以排除答案,相关性.

Chapter 5 main point
1.Main point questions
(1)main point questions appear frequently in Gmat RC,and therefore a discussion of this question type will benifit you when you face reading RC
(2)like all must be true question variants the correct answer must pass the fact test,but with additional criterion that the correct answer choice must capture the author's point
(3)the correct answer choice to those problems will be rephrasing of the main conclusion of the argument

2.question stems
? The main point of the argument above is that
? Which one of the following most accurately expresses the editor’s conclusion?
? Which of the following best summarizes the conclusion of the argument?
? The author hopes to prove which of the following?
? The argument seems to lead up to which of the following?
? Which of the following is the author’s main point?

3.two incorrect answer types
(1)answers that are true but do not encapsilate the author's point
(2)answers that repeat premises of the argument


4.paraphrased answers are always correct in must be true questions.Answers that paraphrase the conclusions are correcrt in the main point questions

5.the lesson learned from this particular problem is that you must isolate the conclusion and then look for a paraphrase of that conclusion

6.Many Main Point question stimuli avoid using traditional conclusion indicators and this lack of argument indicator “guideposts” makes your task more challenging.
Remember, if you are struggling to identify the conclusion in an argument, you can always use the methodology discussed.

Conclusion Identification Method:
Take the statements under consideration for the conclusion and place them in an arrangement that forces one to be the conclusion and the other(s) to be the premise(s). Use premise and conclusion indicators to achieve this end. Once the pieces are arranged, determine if the arrangement makes logical sense. If so, you have made the correct identification. If not, reverse the arrangement and examine the relationship again. Continue until you find an arrangement that is logical.

Suri的bible进度超过我了啊~~加油

看你的总结真好......关于 Must Be True, 补充两点在例题的分析思路里面提到的：（也许对你来说too obvious to be noted?）

1.（这是原话哦） From a pure logic standpoint, "many" can include "all".
2.就是有道例题，Stimulus里面通篇全是引述的别人的话 "Some environmentalists said ...... Many environmentalists thought ...."（大概这样），然后有两个选项都是直接陈述观点（类似"people should protect natural resources because blabla"），说这种就必然错误，因为Stimulus里面仅仅是引述别人观点，没有说这是真理。这题正确答案提到了"environmentalists"

---刚发现你最后总结里说到了判断fact set 还是opinion....
