I must admit, i still don't see how d.) is a necessary assumption for this argument...

Any help would be appreciated.

Also, answer B, which I mistakenly chose originally, requires that the person being critiqued not see themselves as having their performance criticized, while the stimulus does not require that, merely that the critique of their performance is part of a group of factors that determines successful ou...

I am having trouble locating the extra practice exercises mentioned in the LG Strategy Guide...I have already looked in the student centre, and did not find a tab entitled "prep tests"

I think there's a problem with the conditions as described on the diagram...

P1 --> F2 + H2 (not L2)
&
P2 --> F3 + H3 (not L3)

Could someone please post the answers to questions 7-12 as I don't have them for PT13.

In frame 2 of the diagram, couldn't Staging also go on Tuesday/Wednesday ?

We're told that a higher proportion of oxygen-18 descends to earth. That doesn't mean that more oxygen-18 overall descends to earth. How does this work ? Also... what threw me off for question 19.b.) is that it says "Like the oceans, tropical rain forests can create or replenish rain clouds......

Can someone please help me with diagramming this question ?

So b.) would be a correct answer on a sufficient condition question ?

I chose b.) for this one, as it seems to me that if emerging IT's produced a net increase in global wealth, that would allow the poor countries to have the economic resources to acquire the IT's. I sweated over whether it was b.) or d.) on this one.

I must admit, I don't see how 'selfish' and 'selfishness' represent two different uses of the word.

Why is B wrong?

Also, the stimulus only describes that it is impossible that intelligent life would have survived frequent collisions by asteroids whereas b.) describes likelihood of intelligent life surviving a single collision.

I think the reason why c.) is not correct is that it does not say anything about the nature of the people who do run for office, just about the numbers attracted when more is paid.

(B) is irrelevant.

I don't see why b.) is irrelevant.
If consumers are unaware of codes stamped on plastic containers, they cannot 'make a significant long term reduction in the amount of waste that goes unrecycled'

The question is asking what must be false, so b.) cannot be correct because we are told that Marvel's sales doubled while the total monthly sales remained constant. So it is certain that the market share of companies other than Marvel declined.

The correct answer E.) seems to be a mistaken negation of the stimulus:

Stimulus Condition:
current farm management practices-->~efficiency

E.) condition:
changes to current practices-->increase in efficiency

Is this not correct ?

The first line of this stimulus is, I think, meant to be perceived as accounting for all possible conditions in that all people are understood to be either Montagues or Capulets. I just realized, though that this is not a required condition in order for E.) to be right... Capulet--->~Montague ~Mo...

This question has me confused.
Is the flaw the fact that the stimulus attempts to make an evaluation based on a subjective estimate of 'famousness', like the correct answer (e) which uses 'beautiful'?

I see it now. Thanks !

The argument attempts to show that one type of selfishness has always existed by raising another type of selfishness as an example.

Sure, Ok.
I see that the selfishness is focussed on the individual in the first case, & then on the species in the second case, but isn't the definition of the term selfish the same in both uses ?
