sunil4gmat Posted May 23, 2005 Share Posted May 23, 2005 Hi, Just came across this type of question where it was asked that 'Which of the following is LEAST likely to weaken the argument ?? Pls refer to the attachment for the exact question stem and choices. My doubt is that for such question, do we need to select the choice that is , though, weakening the argument, but with the least severity or we need to select the option that is actually strenghtening the argument. :hmm: OA is B (which strenghtens the argument) :crazy: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gmat168 Posted May 23, 2005 Share Posted May 23, 2005 I think the OA has answered your question for you... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sunil4gmat Posted May 23, 2005 Author Share Posted May 23, 2005 After seeing the OA only, i got confused. I earlier thought that we need to isolate all factors which weaken the argument and then figure out the option which is of least degree. If somebody has ever come across this question earlier, and they have understood in different way, pls let me know. Till that time, i am taking the meaning of LEAST weaken as 'STRENGTHEN' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gmat168 Posted May 23, 2005 Share Posted May 23, 2005 -2 -1 0 1 2 Which is the "least negative" number? I would answer 2, even though it is positive. I guess this approach works for CR as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
