On Dedicated TC SE Season 2 Video 4 at 58:36, you (Greg) show the example, but do not explain it enough. How do we identify this case and how to solve it in case it happens in the real test?
Perhaps, anyone has faced in their test? can anyone share?
But it’s rare to see a question that is actually important enough to be marked the way you did.
Let me change it to “perhaps moderately important”
Thanks for tagging him!
Treat it like a TC problem but 99% of time the answer will a pair.
how do you identify if the answers are not the pairs, in this case (hypothesis - theory) since we usually pair it up first?
because, I remember Greg’s 2nd last GRE, Greg was tricked because he chose not the pair, but the most correct (but singled, just like doing TC) answer. But, in this anomalous case, the pair is not the answer. I will always use the pair since it’s the most reliable one, but I am just curious how we can identify (and solve) this anomalous case?
In most cases while doing TC in real exam environment we will select a pair and move on especially if we can only find a single pair in the answer choices. The good thing is that if everything else went well then GRE verbal is pretty rewarding and you’ll end up with the good score but if you’re on a crusade to get everything right then the most important thing is to save time to revisit the question . When you’ll revisit the question and try to cross-check your answer with a different strategy than what you previously used, you’ll tend to catch this very subtle but important clues , for eg, In this question if you apply the math strategy, you’ll see that we are looking for a blank that deals with specifics and theory are mostly generalization , so we will need to look for a word that speaks specificity due to the word particular and the only options that fits this idea are characteristic and susceptibility .
