Inference Questions
Summary
The essence of tackling inference questions on the GMAT involves discerning what must be true based on the information provided, even if it's not explicitly stated.
- Inference questions require identifying conclusions that, while not directly stated, are unavoidably implied by the passage.
- A valid inference is something that absolutely has to be true, given the explicit content of the passage.
- Distractors in inference questions might seem plausible but are not guaranteed by the passage's content.
- Understanding the author's main point and the passage's explicit statements is crucial to identifying correct inferences.
- Examples provided illustrate how to differentiate between valid inferences and plausible but not guaranteed distractors.
