Question+35

35) This question asks the reader to develop an understanding of the main point and theme of the passage as well as the purpose of the second and third paragraph in reference to the passage as a whole. To answer this question the reader needs to know how to cautiously analyze the second and third paragraph of the passage. Also, the reader needs to know how to interpret the second and third paragraph while having a clear understanding of all four paragraphs. ** Choice A ** is incorrect because the second and third paragraph do not focus on the different mathematicians; the paragraphs quote mathematicians to provide more context to the concept of the Four Color Map Theorem. ** Choice B ** is incorrect because the first paragraph focuses on syllogisms not the second and third. ** Choice C ** is incorrect because the second and third paragraph do not discuss a contrast between two subjects as the focus is on the Four Color Map Theorem. ** Choice E ** is incorrect because Erdos is discussed at the end of the third paragraph, not in the second paragraph. The correct answer is ** Choice D ** because both paragraphs focus on beauty in relevance to the proof.
