The overall structure and purpose of the experiment or argument

Question 2

On Kaplan's GRE Analytical Writing section, the 'Analyze an Argument' task asks you to do what?

Accepted Answer

Critique the logical validity of the argument's reasoning

Answer

The Analyze an Argument task requires evaluating the logical soundness of the argument, not taking a personal position on its topic.

Question 3

Kaplan's LSAT Logic Games strategy recommends always completing which step before attempting questions for a game?

Accepted Answer

Drawing a master diagram and making deductions

Building a master diagram and identifying key deductions (especially fixed slots and linked variables) before answering questions is central to Kaplan's Logic Games method.

Question 4

In Kaplan's SAT content review for the Writing section, a 'dangling modifier' error occurs when what happens?

Accepted Answer

An introductory modifier does not logically modify the sentence's subject

Social facilitation describes how an audience enhances performance on mastered tasks but hurts performance on new or complex ones due to arousal.
