Category - Logical Reasoning

Korto had difficulty spelling names correctly, so her parents allowed her to make up her own spellings for words. She eventually came up with new spellings for virtually every word in the English language. Korto still struggles to spell correctly, but nevertheless has an excellent grasp of English and has become an award-winning writer.

Each of the following, if true, could help explain the apparent paradox above EXCEPT:
  1. Korto’s editor translates her work into standard English.
  2. Korto’s parents’ technique encouraged her to think creatively from a young age, allowing her to see the world how she wanted to see it.
  3. Korto primarily writes children’s books, which are shorter than most adult novels and contain more simple language.
  4. A few critics believe that if Korto learned to spell better she would be an even more accomplished writer.
  5. Many of the awards Korto has won are from critics who interpret her unique spelling as a creative play on power and the use of language.
Explanation
Answer: D - All of the answers explain the apparent paradox except for critics believing that if Korto learned to spell better she would be an even better writer. The other answers explain how Korto either adjusted to her spelling ability or used it to her advantage, while D implies that her spelling ability still hinders her.
