QUESTION TYPE: Identify the Conclusion
CONCLUSION: Even successful predictions of human behavior do not provide an understanding of it.
REASONING: Understanding human behavior requires knowledge of human goals.
ANALYSIS: The bit about physical sciences is mere fluff. “For” in the final sentence indicates a reason to support the conclusion.
___________
- CORRECT. Yes. Understanding human behavior requires knowledge of human goals as well.
- This is false. We can predict, even though we can’t understand without knowledge of goals.
- This is true, but simply a paraphrase of information contained in the stimulus. It is not the conclusion.
- True, but useless. If this is the conclusion, why did the stimulus talk about humans?
- That’s true of understanding, but not prediction.
