pt 61 Brick houses analogy question Forum

First LR section, question 23. I don't understand why is d the correct answer. I wrote it out and I can sort of see the connection, but it's not really clear to me. Most of all, I don't understand how can anyone find it quickly.. ?? Is there a trick to these questions? I don't think I can spend the time to diagram each answer choice. In normal parallel reasoning, I look at the strength of the words, levels, directions etc. and compare conclusions, but here that approach obviously doesn't work. Thanks!

Was a bitch of a question time wise. You have to diagram it out. The way I did it was instead of using first letters of words to represent the phrases, I used ABC. A --- > C because B----> C and A ----->B

Then i matched up the sentence structure and logical order.

also, pay attention to the "mosts" in the initial stimulus. That allows you to eliminate some answers.

A lot of people don't like that strategy but i feel it works really well with paralleling reasoning, parallel flaw, and stuff like this. It helped me on a couple questions in October
