DISCUSSION: You should consider the fastest way to eliminate answers. You want something mentioned in passage A, and not mentioned in passage B.
So you can prove an answer wrong if it has:
- Something not mentioned in passage A, or
- Something mentioned in passage B.
It’s easier to prove that something is mentioned, than it is to prove something is not mentioned. So the fastest way to eliminate answers is to prove they’re mentioned in passage B.
___________
- Passage B mentions this in the first sentence of the third paragraph of passage B.
- CORRECT. The fourth paragraph of passage A mentions this in passage A. Passage B never mentions this.
- The first sentence of paragraph 1 mentions this in passage B.
- The last sentence of pararaph 2 in passage B mentions the high cost of patent litigation.
- The last sentence of paragraph 2 in passage B mentions that many patents should not have been granted. (‘questionable nature of many software patents’)
