Take a look at this question. Again, the first thing
we’ll do is evaluate the question stem.
If a and b are positive integers and a
+ b > ab, what is the value of a?
1) 
2) ab ? a

This tells us nothing we didn’t already know. Whenever you see in a statement
what could possibly be a reworking of an equality or inequality in the
question stem, you need to make sure that the two expressions are different.
If they’re not, if the statement is merely a duplication of the stem!
In this case, the expression in Statement (1) is simply a + b
> ab divided through by b and rewritten in reverse order.
If we multiplied each term in the expression by b, we’d end up
with the same expression as in the question stem. Insufficient.
Let’s look at Statement (2)…
