workout For answer of 1st question, while reading the passage i could not get from the tone of the author that he is criticizing a line of thought. In the passage author keeps referring to the critics whenever any discussion comes up of criticizing anything. Can you please quote some lines from the passage which gives an idea that the author himself is criticizing??

The findings of the book have rightly been challenged by critics who point out that the responses elicited from the interviewees were not fully uncontaminated as these women were told the topic of the study in advance. However, irrespective of the authenticity of the findings of studies that confirm the ideas propagated in books such as In a Different Voice and Women’s way of Knowing, the conclusions drawn by the authors of these books are unwarranted. If the idea that women prefer to avoid disagreement and to promote understanding and acceptance over judgment and assessment had been true, there would have been clear and loud demands from women to change the basic nature of education provided to them as clearly the whole point of critical thinking, which forms an integral part of the education system, is to know what to accept and what to reject by assessment and judgment.


the highlighted parts are the author being critical. The italicized part is support for his conclusion in blue. Hope it helps :)

For question no.3, i understand that option e goes in the right line of reasoning.
However, can the experts pl explain how option a is not correct answer.
In the first paragraph it has been said that the views have been criticised by many.
And in second para it has been said that their are few people who admire the views. Hence both views look to be going in opposite direction

for q1 - E. To criticize a line of thought deemed evidence-less.

please someone explain, the bold part. where has the auth mentioned the line of thot is evidence less.If he refersto the book being criticized in last para, then there is evidence ,though not accurate.

2. which line of thot is he referring to? if its the one from 1st para then please explain the opposing view where the author deems that thot evidence less. He mentions critics POV which itself doesnt argue for evidence. chetan2u @sayatanc2k egmat

Isn't the last few lines of the last paragraph explaining a line of reasoning that counters the old fashioned idea? I am confused regarding option D. D could be the answer.
Really would appreciate a reply from the gmatclub expert family:)

Hi egmat

In Q3 Isn't C correct as well? It does say that her views became popular among authors and also in D can we confidently say that becoming popular is really an influence?

In Q4 "What’s most enraging, aptly so, to the critics of Gilligan is the idea proposed by her in her book In a Different Voice that women have their own special version of morality rooted in relationships and caring rather than the supposedly abstract notions of justice and equity." if critics are mostly enraged by the special version of morality doesn't it make sense that they will obviously be more enraged with this "morality" than anything else?
