This question-specific review guide is tied to the answer reasoning for a PracticeTestVault item. Use it after you answer the question so the review stays focused on what the prompt actually tested.
What this question is testing
Objective: Logical Reasoning
Prompt focus: Consider the following argument. A newspaper editor argues that the paper should stop printing horoscopes because astrology has no scientific basis. A reader objects that many subscribers enjoy the horoscopes and would be disappointed if they were removed. The reader's response is…
Why the correct answer works
raising a consideration about reader preferences that the editor's argument did not address.
The reader adds a consideration about reader preferences that the editor's argument ignored.
Why the tempting wrong answer fails
The tempting wrong answer usually loses because it skips the key condition, priority, or evidence in the prompt.
Plain-language takeaway
The editor argues from the lack of scientific basis. The reader does not dispute that point but introduces a different consideration, subscriber enjoyment, that the editor's argument left out.
Simple analogy
Think of logical reasoning like following a short checklist: identify the clue, confirm the rule, and then make the move that fits this exact scenario.
