Analyze an Argument is exactly like analyzing an issue and belongs to the same section
of Analytical Reasoning. Since you begin your test with these essays, they are evaluated
first and help you create a positive impact on the examiner. As the name suggests,
this section tests you on your abilities ot interpret a critical situation and find
a reasonable solution to solve the problem. There are just a few different instructions
in this part which if followed correctly will give your essay a good shape and sense.
To Analyze an Argument, begin first by reading through each line of the argument
passage carefully. Try to discover the cause of the argument, the proof or any evidence
if provided as the passage proceeds. Start making a note of such facts that come
to light. There can be many hidden facts or some very explicit details regarding
the argument which may help you arrive at a solution for the argument. When you
are done reading the whole passage, try and contemplate on the reasons and thought
procedure o the whole argument.
Once the passage is understood, you may begin an essay to analyze the argument.
It is necessary to remember that this essay does not have to mention your personal
opinion. It has to be according to the instructions and mention the facts and statements
in favor of the argument and the ones that oppose the argument. There should be
discussions regarding the responses, recommendations, advice, prediction and reasoning
of the argument in the essay.
It is important to write an essay which is precise and to the point to analyze the
argument properly. There should be no personal inputs and most matter needs to be
critically proposed and presented in the essay. You are given half an hour for this
task and hence solving a few sample arguments will help you catch up on the speed
and broaden your thinking too.
