Hi. Today my question is

""Which one of the following sequences most accurately and completely corresponds to the presentation of material in the passage"

I remember seeing this question in 2016 RC section in pg 181, i wrote this question to ask .
I thought about this question many times but every-time I reached the same conclusion.

The book says it is global reference MT , specifically organization and I agree in big picture. but I feel like this is a question that is MT, organization, but contains some elements of parallel as in 80/20 percent ratio.

Hi, Lathlee,

Thanks for the question. Could you please clarify the reference to "MT"? In the Reading Comprehension Bible, this question stem is a Global question classified under "O" for organization. This is a "big picture" question: your prephrase should be a description of the overall structure of the passage. As the RCB states, these questions are in some respect analogous to the holistic Method of Reasoning questions but are generally broader (in part because reading comprehension passages are inherently longer and less focused on argumentation). There is not really a "parallel" aspect to these questions per se as they do not ask you to match the organization of the passage with an analogous passage in the answer choices. You are correct to note that Parallel the Reasoning questions and Method of Reasoning questions sometimes overlap conceptually.

Thanks!
