The audiences for crosswords and sudoku, understandably, overlap greatly, but there are differences, too. A crossword attracts a more literary person, while sudoku appeals to a keenly logical mind. Some crossword enthusiasts turn up their noses at sudoku because they feel it lacks depth. A good crossword requires vocabulary, knowledge, mental flexibility and sometimes even a sense of humor to complete. It touches numerous areas of life and provides an “Aha!” or two along the way. ......................
From the given options, choose the one that completes the paragraph in the most appropriate way.
A. Sudoku, incidentally, is growing faster in popularity than crosswords, even among the literati.
B. Sudoku, on the other hand, is just a logical exercise, each one similar to the last.
C. Sudoku, on the other hand, can be attempted and enjoyed even by children.
D. Sudoku, however, is not exciting in any sense of the term.
E. Sudoku is a boring game
For GMAT Purposes, you can safely ignore this question.

Its B Vs D. The last statement of argument hints comparison of variable learning/knowledge associated with crossword to static one of sudoku. Hence B.

The best choice to complete the paragraph is B. "Sudoku, on the other hand, is just a logical exercise, each one similar to the last."
Explanation:
The paragraph contrasts crossword and Sudoku enthusiasts, emphasizing that crosswords require vocabulary, knowledge, and even humor, making them more dynamic and diverse. To maintain this contrast, the concluding sentence should highlight the perceived simplicity or repetitive nature of Sudoku.
Option B fits best because it reinforces the argument that Sudoku, unlike crosswords, is a purely logical exercise with a structured, repetitive nature. This aligns with the idea that some crossword enthusiasts see Sudoku as lacking depth.
Other options don't fit as well:
A introduces a new idea about popularity, which doesn't logically follow.
C is true but shifts the focus to accessibility rather than the crossword-Sudoku contrast.
D and E are too extreme and dismissive, making them weaker choices.
In GMAT-style critical reasoning questions, the correct answer should logically extend the given argument without introducing unrelated information or unnecessary subjectivity.
