Hey!
I actively use ChatGPT and Claude to help create questions suiting my requirements.
Take it from me -> The LLMs are not
yet perfect in their reasoning abilities. In other words, don't assume chatGPT is correct. As of now, there are enough instances of incorrect reasoning to be wary.
I have seen LLMs do RC pretty well, and most if not all CR. With some of the DI question types, and some logic-over-math type quant questions, I still think there is a distance to cover.
Coming to this question ->
(1) "
As part of a joint process two museums - Museo Metropolitano (MM) and the Fundacion Arte (FA)- have decided to require that exhibits at each museum be directly connected to the strengths of their permanent collections."
Observe the bolded portion. This means that it is compulsory that the exhibits be connected to FA (and MM's) strengths.
(2) FA's strengths -> "the FA's strengths are 20th century US painting, 20th-century jewelry, and art from 14th-century South America."
It is absolutely compulsory that whatever is chosen be either
- 20C US painting or
- 20C jewelry or
- 14C South American Art
[color=#000000]
Choice -> Large abstract sculpture by Louise Nevelson (female, US, 20th c.).
This is
- Not a 20C US Painting (it is a sculpture, not a painting)
- Not 20C jewelry (it is a sculpture, not jewelry)
- Not 14C South American art (not 20C, not South American)
In essence, we are given that the exhibit must be connected to FA's strengths. 20C US sculpture is not connected to any of the above strengths.
Hope this helps.

Asked ChatGPT for a solution to this problem, as I couldn't understand why "Large abstract sculpture by Louise Nevelson (female, US, 20th c.)" wasn't a perfect fit for FA. Here's the analysis it gave. I don't understand how the GMAT logic works. ChatGPT:
To solve this, we must match artworks to each museum (MM and FA)
without violating their exhibit requirements.

Official Explanation
For a work to meet MM’s requirements to be included in future exhibits, it must be a work of East Asian printmaking, a 19th-century European painting, or an 18th-century US painting or sculpture. However, the next exhibit must be devoted to something other than European or US art. This leaves only East Asian printmaking. The work by Hashiguchi Goyo is the only work that meets this requirement.
The correct answer is Representational woodblock prints by Hashiguchi Goyo (male, Japan, 20th c.).
For a work to meet FA’s requirements to be included in future exhibits, it must be a work of 20th-century US painting, 20th-century jewelry, or 14th-century South American art. The next exhibit is to be devoted to art that is abstract, semiabstract, or semirepresentational. The works by Louise Nevelson, Paul Cézanne, René Lalique, and Yuan Chin-Taa each meet the criteria for the exhibit. However, only the jewelry by René Lalique fits in with the strengths of FA.
The correct answer is Semiabstract, semirepresentational art nouveau jewelry by René Lalique (male, France, 20th c.).
