Hi,
The course that I am currently going states that if the information in a CR Answer choice is given inside a comma pair, or is a "dependent clause" that it should ALWAYS be considered to be true, i.e. it should be considered as additional premise.
For e.g.:
1. If an answer choice states "David, who works at Walmart, is going to be the next CEO of the company" we assume that "who works at Walmart" is true, even if there was absolutely nothing in the original passage to suggest so.
e.g. of a dependent clause:
2. With its 5 engines, Eurofighter is the most lethal fighter jet in the market.
We assume "with its 5 engines" being additional premise, even if there was nothing in the passage to state so.
I find this concept very hard to relate to and was wondering if this is correct and if there are any official GMAT examples or an official source that may validate this.
