GMAT Critical Reasoning Practice | Weaken the Argument Question #gmatverbal #gmatcr
In this video, we breakdown yesterday's CR Practice question. This detailed explanatory answer discusses GMAT Weaken the Argument Critical Reasoning practice question.
Question:
A recent study published in a leading medical journal claimed that consuming moderate amounts of chocolate daily can reduce the risk of developing type 2 diabetes. The study followed 1,000 participants over a period of 5 years and found that those who consumed between 10 and 30 grams of chocolate daily had a 30% lower risk of developing type 2 diabetes compared to those who consumed no chocolate or did so very rarely. The researchers concluded that the flavonoids present in chocolate may help improve insulin sensitivity and glucose metabolism, thereby lowering the risk of diabetes.
To question the credibility of the conclusion, it would be most helpful to establish that
A. the participants who consumed no chocolate had a healthier lifestyle at the beginning of the 5-year period than those who consumed chocolates very rarely or daily.
B. the flavonoids found in chocolate are also present in other foods that were not considered in the study.
C. the study was funded by a major chocolate manufacturer, potentially introducing bias into the research.
D. the participants who consumed moderate amounts of chocolate daily were more likely to engage in regular physical activity, which also boosts glucose metabolism, than those who consumed no chocolate.
E. the participants of the study were required to self-report the amount of chocolate that they consumed daily.

    In option B, you said that other foods could also be responsible for lower risk but doesnt matter because chocolate is contributing. So in D, physical activity is contributing to lower risk. But that does not necessarily say chocolates are not contributing to lower risk

    Hi, In the first question, there is a possibility that the person might have covered some distance after the first 2 hrs and then ended with the last 3 hrs to cover at 80 mph? As the question clearly mentions last 3 hrs (instead of next 3 hrs), there might be a possibility of distance coverage in between of 2 hrs and the last 3 hrs.

    I solved the question using alligation and came to the same answer. Please let me know whether my answer was correct by fluke or I can use solve these questions using alligation method. I am little shaky in forming equations, but comfy in alligation.

    • @Wizako
      @Wizako 26 днів тому

      The rule of alligation is probably the fastest way to answer this question. Good that you are more comfortable with this method than the regular equation framing method - because quite a few test takers struggle with setting up alligation - and you are in the advantaged minority who find it easy to go the alligation route.

    Is it true the Gmat fe is now section adaptive? That the next section will start with a difficult question if the previous section went well.

    • @Wizako
      @Wizako 26 днів тому

      The GMAT FE is question wise adaptive. The difficulty of the first question of a subsequent section is thought to be based on the LOD that you ended the previous section. However, it is also said to adapt from that point forward to how you answered the first question. So, the impact on your final performance of the second or third section should be minimal.

Please use these questions to understand the framework and use the building blocks to help you navigate through those one or two tough nuts in the GMAT.
