HOW TO DEAL WITH CR PASSAGES
IMPROVE HOW PRECISELY YOU READ
Your long-term goal is to build the habit of noticing the author’s exact wording. Before you look at answer choices in a Critical Reasoning question, ask: Am I reading the author’s exact words, or am I adding my own?
Watch for some “extreme” modifiers: all, nothing, never, only, always. You probably also notice hedged language: some, usually, a few, sometimes.
Watch for comparison words too. Phrases like “the best,” “the easiest,” or “a better” should jump out at you.
English has tons of modifiers. Even a single adjective or adverb can nudge the meaning enough to change the argument.
One helpful tactic: write down the conclusion exactly as stated. This forces you to see the argument’s structure clearly and catch any small modifiers that change the conclusion.
Le’s look at this medium- level (45%) passage for exemple:
Inflation has traditionally been viewed as a negative cycle for an economy, whereas deflation has been seen as a time for the economy to return to healthier price levels. In recent years, though, economists have begun to view low inflationary development over time as healthy for the modern economy, due to the fact that inflation signals growth of money supply and increased prices. These increased prices become increased value for businesses and eventually trickle down to consumers as employees. Although prices are actually higher, consumers have more liquidity and thus spend more, helping to balance the economy. Many economists believe that inflation can sustain an economy that is struggling with recession.
Which of the following may be inferred from statements made in the passage above?
(A) Modern economists would prefer a severe state of inflation over a severe state of deflation.
Wrong: The author is not talking about preferences or subjective thinking
(B) Historically, cycles of deflation have signaled low economic growth, while cycles of inflation have signaled high economic growth.
Wrong: The text says In recent years, nothing about the past can be drawn.
(C) Inflation is good for an economy domestically, but an increase of money supply usually corresponds with lower exchange rates and decreased international value.
Wrong: Internationally, the issue is not dealt with.
(D) While low rates of inflation can be of benefit to an economy, higher rates of inflation can have devastating effects on a healthy economy.
Wrong: just low inflationary development over time is discussed, not higher rates
(E) Consumer prices are lower during deflation, but this does not help an economy in recession, because consumers have less liquidity and are thus spending less.
Correct: The last sentence is a conclusion drawn from the previous sentence. This option explains the opposite idea of the second-to-last sentence, making it something that can be logically inferred
So, watch out for adjectives and adverbs too, beside extreme language or soft one and comparisons as it’s showed in the exemple above!
