Re: Q4 - The theory of military deterrence

The reason why I did not choose D is because: It is in the interested of a nation that has unsurpassed military power to let potential aggressors against it become aware of its power. "has unsurpassed military power" is not required. What is required is that "would have to be believe...

Re: Q7 - 8 - Two paleontologists...

Thanks for posting! I agree with you that the two paleontologists draw different conclusions. However, what you're overlooking is that they also use different pieces of evidence: Dr. Tyson bases his conclusion on the human characteristics of the footprints, whereas Dr. Rees bases his conclusion on ...

Re: Q15 - Lucien: Public housing advocates claim

Thanks for your question, karenjiang2. First of all, I sympathize with you. I can see why that last bit looks like the conclusion. But Lucien's point is really that more low-income apartments are not needed. So the argument core of Lucien's argument is: There are unrented apartments in my building ...

Re: Q19 - Marcus: For most ethical

First, take a look at how I edited your post title. If you post again (and I hope you will), please use that nomenclature - it makes it easier for us and for future users. This is a tricky question. #19 is asking, as you suggest, what must be assumed for Anita's argument to be valid. Part of the ke...

Re: Q8 - The symptoms of mental disorders

Since Ques #8 isn't here, I thought I'd post just to verify. P: Some patients with mental disorders result from chemical imbalances affecting the brain --> C: These patients can only be effectively treated with medication that will reduce or correct the imbalance Q: The argument depends on assum...

Re: Q17 - An editorial in the Grandburg

You are near to the correct. If answer B says "The results of surveys that gauge current voter's FUTURE PROSPECTS toward a given political party can legitimately be used as the basis for making claims about the voters' SENTIMENTS toward that political party", it will be correct. Actually, ...

Re: Diagram

I actually found this game manageable once I set up two frames in order to get G and H on the diagram: 1. "”G "”H "”"” 2. "”"” "”G "”H Question 14 was a bit of an orientation question in disguise (each of the first four choices directly violates one of the co...

Re: Q22 - Taking advanced mathematics courses

So answer choice (D) is correct, but I totally agree with you and don't think that this question is very good. We're asked to match the flawed pattern of reasoning in the stimulus. At first glance the flawed pattern of reasoning seems to be simply mistaking a correlation for cause and effect relati...
