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.

Branson: Most of the air pollution in this country comes from our largest cities. These cities would pollute less if they were less populated. So if many people in these cities were to move to rural areas, air pollution in the country as a whole would be reduced.
Which one of the following demonstrates most effectively by parallel reasoning that Branson’s argument is flawed?
(A) Similarly, we could conclude that Monique spends most of her salary on housing. After all, people are bound to spend more on housing if they live in a city where the cost of housing is high, and Monique recently moved to a city where the cost of housing is very high.
(B) Similarly, we could conclude that Karen’s family would have more living space if they moved from an apartment to a single-family home. After all, single-family homes are typically larger than apartments.
(C) Similarly, we could conclude that most of Ward’s farm is planted with corn. After all, in Ward’s county most of the fields that used to be planted with other crops are now planted with corn.
(D) Similarly, we could conclude that Javier could consume fewer calories by eating for breakfast, lunch, and dinner only a portion of what he now eats, and eating the remainder as snacks. After all, breakfast, lunch, and dinner together account for most of the calories Javier consumes.
(E) Similarly, we could conclude that most of this city’s air pollution would be eliminated if this city built a public transportation system. After all, public transportation produces much less pollution per passenger, and all automobile trips could be replaced by trips on public transportation.

Which one of the following demonstrates most effectively by parallel reasoning that Branson’s argument is flawed?
(A) Similarly, we could conclude that Monique spends most of her salary on housing. After all, people are bound to spend more on housing if they live in a city where the cost of housing is high, and Monique recently moved to a city where the cost of housing is very high. - WRONG. Does not look flawed. In a city where CoL is high then someone moving there would also be spending high on CoL.
(B) Similarly, we could conclude that Karen’s family would have more living space if they moved from an apartment to a single-family home. After all, single-family homes are typically larger than apartments. - WRONG. Like A this too make sense in that more spacious the home is more space it is compared to apartments.
(C) Similarly, we could conclude that most of Ward’s farm is planted with corn. After all, in Ward’s county most of the fields that used to be planted with other crops are now planted with corn. - WRONG. Looks somewhat flawed but not in a manner as the passage is.
(D) Similarly, we could conclude that Javier could consume fewer calories by eating for breakfast, lunch, and dinner only a portion of what he now eats, and eating the remainder as snacks. After all, breakfast, lunch, and dinner together account for most of the calories Javier consumes. - CORRECT. What if snacks matches the calorie levels of all the three? Like if rural areas to make pollution then passage is making a flaw.
(E) Similarly, we could conclude that most of this city’s air pollution would be eliminated if this city built a public transportation system. After all, public transportation produces much less pollution per passenger, and all automobile trips could be replaced by trips on public transportation. - WRONG. Plain logical. No flaws as such.
Passage says
City Population ---> City Pollution
less City Population ----> Less City Pollution
Answer D.
