Question+30

30) This type of question tests comprehension of details in a single paragraph. To correctly answer the question, one needs to know what a paragraph is and understand the content in the second paragraph. In order to answer the question, one needs to know how to read with tunnel vision to locate details within a specific paragraph. One needs to know how to identify moves made within a particular section rather than the entire picture, therefore narrowing in on specific rhetorical moves.


 * Choice A ** is incorrect because it is clear that the second paragraph also includes an example of the tenacity of mathematicians, not just a discussion of the Four Color Map Theorem.
 * Choice B ** is incorrect because option I, a demonstration of the inherent simplicity of a mathematical problem, is not present in the second paragraph because the mathematical problem is described as elaborate and complex.
 * Choice C ** is also incorrect because it includes option I which is not present in the second paragraph since mathematical problems are described as complex.
 * Choice D ** is the correct answer because the second paragraph includes a discussion of the Four Color Map Theorem since it describes the concepts associated with it, and the second paragraph also includes an example of the tenacity of mathematicians because the mathematician E.F. Moore tried persistently to find a counterexample.
 * Choice E ** is the distractor option, because it includes option II and III which are both present in the second paragraph. Option I is not in the second paragraph, however, because the theorem is evidently complex, not simple so Choice E is incorrect.
