Question | Answer |
Name the four families | Prove, Help, Hurt, Disprove |
Describe the directions of each family as related to answer and stimulus | Prove- Stimulus to Answer; Help- Answer to stimulus; Hurt- Stimulus to answer; Disprove- Answer to stimulus |
Prove Group | 1. must be true 2. main point 3. point at issue 4. method of reasoning 5. flaw in reasoning 6. parallel reasoning |
Help Family | 1. assumption 2. justify the conclusion 3. strengthen/support 4. resolve the paradox |
Hurt Family | 1. weaken |
Disprove Family | 1. cannot be true |
Prove Rule 1 | You must accept the stimulus information-- even if it contains an error in reasoning-- and use it to prove that one of the answer choices must be true. |
Prove Rule 2 | Any information in an answer choice that does not appear either directly in the stimulus or as a combination of items in the stimulus will be incorrect. |
Help Rule 1 | The information in the stimulus is suspect. There are often reasoning errors present, and depending on the question, you will help shore up the argument in some way. |
Help Rule 2 | The answer choices are accepted as given, even if they include new information. Your task is to determine which answer choice best meets the question posed in the stem. |
Hurt Rule 1 | The information in the stimulus is suspect. There are often reasoning errors present, and you will further weaken the argument in some way. |
Help Rule 2 | The answer choices are accepted as given, even if they include new information. Your task is to determine which answer choice best attacks the argument in the stimulus. |
Disprove Rule 1 | You must accept the stimulus information--even if it contains an error of reasoning-- and use it to prove that one of the answer choices cannot occur. |
Disprove Rule 2 | Any information in an answer choice that does not appear either directly in the stimulus or as a combination of items in the stimulus will be incorrect. The correct answer choice will directly disagree with the stimulus or a consequence off the stimulus. |
