Re: Q19 - Every student who walks to school

Can any teacher correct me if im wrong?

HL --some---> ~PT = PT --some---> ~HL

Some A are not B, so some B are not A

My conclusion is: this question wants to test it.

Re: Q16 - Essayist: wisdom and intelligence are

Hi folks,

I have two questions: does the last sentence imply everyone the author has one of the two personalities? I also have trouble understanding what D means.

Would any teacher like to help?

Thanks in advance.

Re: Q16 - Essayist: wisdom and intelligence are

For the answer choice D, does the "either" "or" include the possibility that one person can have both personalities?

Thanks in advance

Re: Q16 - Political scientist: The dissemination of

I think this question in abstract language: People create A to do B. A can't do B because one of characteristic of A prevents A from doing B. C can build up a bridge between A and B. So A is necessary. The necessary assumption is "people" do not include the characteristic of C. There is an...

Re: Q17 - An editorial in the Grandburg

I picked E, and now I think E is wrong because it has nothing to do with the argument. From the perspective of manhattan prep textbook, it is, if anything, a "premise debooster."

Re: Q23 - Research indicates that 90 percent

It would be interesting to think this question in these two ways 93 percent people who run a lot are becoming vulnerable to knee injury. Since Tom runs a lot, it is quite likely that he is vulnerable to knee injury. (E would be the correct answer) and, 93 percent people who run a lot are becoming vu...

Re: Q9 - Early pencil leads were made of solid graphite

I feel lissethbayona's elaboration on "appropriate" and "accessible" is helpful. "No access" = "not [any] accessible" Big takeaway: The tone of language could change so long as the degree does not change ("no access" to "not any accessible"...

Re: Q20 - Physicist: Determinism is the view

Sure thing dude. Core: Premise1(the second sentence) : determinism is true --> "given point" does not fail Premise2 (the third sentence) : since we cannot know the whole picture, we can't know the "given point" Conclusion: determinism is false, by implying the contrapositive o...

Re: Q25 - Sociologist: Widespread acceptance of

Can anyone go over the core in this question? I am still unsure about the last sentence. What kind of role does it play? I know it is a premise, but I don't understand how it is connected with the first sentence and the conclusion?

Thank you.

Re: Q20 - Physicist: Determinism is the view

I got the answer correct. I ruled out all four incorrect answers by abstracting the core--because a part has the characteristics A, the whole has the same characteristics.

Do I solve this question correctly?

Thank you, Geeks.

Re: Q13 - Politician: The bill that makes

See the word "should" in the conclusion. That's a recommendation, and to prove it, we'll need some evidence about what people should be doing. But there isn't any! So the correct answer should involve that subjectivity. Hey Matt, I'm not sure if you can answer me. I have a question, in the...
