DOWNLOAD EBOOKPractical reasoning and clear thinking are essential for everyone if we are to make sense of the information we receive each day. Being able to quickly know the difference between valid and invalid arguments, the contradictory versus the contrary, vagueness and ambiguity, contradiction and self-contradiction, the truthful and the fallacious, separates clear thinkers from the crowd. How to Think Straight lays the foundation for critical reasoning by showing many ways in which our thinking goes awry. Celebrated philosopher Antony Flew entertainingly instructs on the many and varied faults that occur in argument, the power of reason, how to challenge assertions and find evidence, and how not to be persuaded by half-truths. Flew also examines poor reasoning, and why we should be concerned with finding the truth. Lucid, terse, and sensible, with study questions and exercises to help along the way, this enlightening second edition will help you develop the skills necessary to argue and reason effectively by following a few simple, easy-to-remember directions.

The book firstly builds a strong foundation by discussing the basics of Critical Reasoning and then addresses each question type in-depth. It then goes a step further and provides you 100 practice questions for intensive practice. Like the Sentence Correction Grail, the Critical Reasoning Grail is written in an engaging manner and will equip you with all the skills that you need to tackle Critical Reasoning questions confidently. This book is superior to the other books available for Critical Reasoning in many ways. The GMAT Critical Reasoning Grail contains the most up-to-date content for Critical Reasoning. For example, while other books focus on Main Point questions, these question types rarely appear on the GMAT now. Similarly question types such as Logically complete the passage, which are increasingly being tested on the GMAT, find no mention in other books, whereas the CR Grail has an entire chapter that discusses this question type. What also distinguishes the GMAT Critical Reasoning Grail is that it helps you master Critical Reasoning in a step-by-step manner, using jargon free language and does not make you dependent on the diagrammatic approach.It is also the only book that provides you 100 Critical Reasoning Questions for practice
