Logical rebuttal CR

by karthikpandian19 » Tue May 08, 2012 11:38 pm
An orchard in full bloom is beautiful, even if there is no one to admire it.

The statement above would be a logical rebuttal to which of the following claims?

(A) You cannot argue with taste.

(B) Beauty exists only in the eye of the beholder.

(C) Beauty is only skin deep.

(D) People will see only what they want to see.

(E) A thing of beauty is a joy forever.

Can you please help me with some source where I can find the theory and practice problems for the category 'Logical rebuttal' since I am seeing this for the first time and PowerScore book completely misses this one.

This is an LSAT-like question, and I've never seen a GMAT question like it.

Stimulus: An orchard is beautiful regardless of anyone seeing it.

A--Nothing about taste/opinion in the original statement

B--Yes. For something to be beautiful, it must be seen. If an orchard is beautiful without being seen, then this statement cannot be true.

C--Nothing about superficial levels/depth in the original statement.

D--Nothing about selective seeing in the original statement.

E--Nothing about joy or timeframe (forever) in the original statement.
