• Which one of the following, if true, most helps to explain the apparent paradox above?
• Which one of the following, if true, most helps to resolve the conflictdescribed above?
• Which one of the following, if true, would most effectively reconcile the discrepancy described above?
Before you look at the answers:
1. Paradox questions usually give two facts that appear incompatible. Single out these two facts.
2. Ask yourself, “Why one of the facts is true, even though the other fact is true as well?” Usually one the facts will fit better after why while the other fact will fit better after even though.
3. Predict a possible answer by answering your “Why . . . even though . . .” question.
Then look for the answer which best explains your “Why . . . even though . . .” question. The correct answer choice must explain why both facts might actually be true without contradicting each other. Some wrong answers will explain why one fact is true without addressing the paradox.
