At one point, she believed GMAT wasn’t for her. After scoring 595, self-doubt crept in and she questioned her potential. But instead of quitting, she made the right strategic changes. The result? A remarkable comeback to 695. Check out how Saakshi did it.

The emission of fluorocarbons into the earth’s atmosphere has been shown to deplete the ozone layer in the atmosphere. Therefore, if we were to eliminate all sources of fluorocarbon emission, we could successfully halt ozone layer depletion.
Which of the following demonstrates a pattern of reasoning that is most similar to the flawed reasoning in the argument above?
(A) When challenged to prove their psychic abilities, several of the world’s most celebrated socalled psychics were unable to do so, clearly proving that the psychic phenomenon is fiction rather than fact.
(B) The theory that the earth’s temperature would be shown to be cyclical if measured over millions of years is convincing, in light of the fact that the extinction of the dinosaurs occurred due to changes in the earth’s temperature.
(C) Flag burning is ultimately in the state’s interest as well as the individual’s interest, because the First Amendment right to free expression was created for the purpose of preserving our democratic way of life.
(D) Any person suffering from phlebitis must take the drug Anatol in order to prevent the condition from worsening, as evidenced by the fact that doctors have used Anatol successfully for many years to treat and control phlebitis.
(E) Autopsies of the residents of Huiki Island killed by a recent volcanic eruption have shown excessive bone deterioration, which leads to my conclusion that the Huikan culture encourages a diet that promotes bone marrow disease.

Let The emission of fluorocarbons into the earth’s atmosphere be X
deplete the ozone layer in the atmosphere = Y
According to passage, X leads to Y, so if we prevent X, Y won't happen at all.
(A) When challenged to prove their psychic abilities, several of the world’s most celebrated socalled psychics were unable to do so, clearly proving that the psychic phenomenon is fiction rather than fact.(physical ability, physic, fiction rather than fact, More Terms are used in place of 2, not creating an interrelated elements)(Incorrect)
(B) The theory that the earth’s temperature would be shown to be cyclical if measured over millions of years is convincing, in light of the fact that the extinction of the dinosaurs occurred due to changes in the earth’s temperature.(More than 2 comparable terms X and Y) (Incorrect)
(C) Flag burning is ultimately in the state’s interest as well as the individual’s interest, because the First Amendment right to free expression was created for the purpose of preserving our democratic way of life.(No connecting dots among the stated various terms) (Incorrect)
(D) Any person suffering from phlebitis must take the drug Anatol in order to prevent the condition from worsening, as evidenced by the fact that doctors have used Anatol successfully for many years to treat and control phlebitis. (Perfect interrelated terms, person suffering from X must take Y, person taking Y will get over with X) (Correct)
(E) Autopsies of the residents of Huiki Island killed by a recent volcanic eruption have shown excessive bone deterioration, which leads to my conclusion that the Huikan culture encourages a diet that promotes bone marrow disease.(No relation among the stated terms, more than enough elements are mentioned) (Incorrect)
