Critical Reasoning

Sarrin monks practice the Pran meditation technique only when extremely damaging weather conditions confront the farming villages surrounding Sarrin monasteries.

Which of the statements below does NOT follow logically from the passage above?

(A) Some meditation practices are less disciplined than Pran meditation.

(B) Pran meditation among Sarrin monks does not take place according to a precisely regulated schedule.

(C) The ritual meditation that a typical Sarrin monk practices daily does not take place in an atmosphere of isolation.

OA [spoiler] (E)[/spoiler]

Agreed E should be the answer.

Argument says :" Pran meditation is a more highly disciplined form of the ritual meditation that the monks practice daily,"..SO it follows that ritual meditation that monks daily follow are also disciplined but less disciplined than Pran.

Initially I was over A.But after careful cross reading, I negated it.

E should be fine!!

I was confused between C and E.

But re-reading helped me to pick E.


Author implies ritual meditation is less disciplined but this doesn't mean its un-disciplined.

E.. Undisciplined Vs Less disciplined is the key....

E seems to be the best choice here
