QUESTION TEXT: Situation: A physical therapist wants her patients…
QUESTION TYPE: Parallel Reasoning
CONCLUSION: If the therapist meets the first objective (getting her patients to enjoy developing skills), it will lead to the second objective (they will practice more).
ANALYSIS: This is a very interesting question. It seems more difficult than it actually is, because you may have not seen anything exactly like it before. But we are basically acting like the analysis is the conclusion to each argument, and seeing if it makes sense.
Essentially, you have to ask yourself: will the first goal naturally lead to the second goal? In the stimulus, we see that it does. Patients who enjoy developing skills will spend more time practicing them. The correct answer will be one where this doesn’t work.
