Hi PowerScore,
In analogy questions, the stem sometimes asks us to match an example with an example from the passage. I think the process works like this: 'Example 1 → Boil down the principle → Example 2.' You are finding a specific instance that fits the description or requirements of the concept. However, I sometimes struggle with how to correctly identify or 'boil down' the principle/description/requirement.
For instance, in F1997, S2, P2, Question 14, I mistakenly thought pretentiousness was an important characteristic, so I chose B. However, the correct answer is A, which reflects: the uncertainty of the current issue, a smaller/cheaper action now, and the potential for a larger action once more is understood. It turns out pretentiousness wasn't significant.
My question is: how can I correctly boil down a principle? Are there any patterns, like principles often relating to comparison or time frames?
Thanks a lot!
