I narrowed the answer choices down to A and D. A alarmed me because of the "appears to be a causal one." D looked good, because I figured that if there were NO sports that are safer for the human body jogging, then that would mean that the human body is unable to withstand the stresses of ...

This looked more like a fact pattern/set of statements to me. (Likely due to the fact that there was no conclusion/premise indictaors) I did arrive at the right answer, but wanted to double-check my reasoning. I didn't see the word/meaning gap, I predicted the gap as being in connection w/ the dicti...

Thanks, Noah. Did you diagram this? I found this question to be merciless! (Chose D)

Thanks for the helpful overview!

I also wanted to add that I eliminated E because we don't know anything nor do we care about the severity of transgressions.

Super helpful - thanks! I actually thought long and hard about this one and narrowed it down to B and D. B seemed to fit, because I figured that when negated, the conclusion couldn't follow (e.g. If simple-stimulus reponse explanations COULD NOT in principle account for all reptile behaviors, then w...

P: building sterilization plant to treat medical waste in city will pollute area (residents and activits) + operation of the plant cannot cause pollution because waste would be sterile after processing by plant C: after 1 hr exposure to steam, waste will be cleaner than food prepared in cleanest kit...

E seems like a huge jump from the premises. I don't understand how E is a necessary assumption. Here's how I understood the stimulus: Premises: To produce the same amount of food [as chemical farming does], more land must be under cultivation when employing organic methods. Conclusion: Organic farmi...

Thanks, Demitri. Appreciate the "heads of their enemies" analogy. I definitely mistook the first premise for background information. Had I considered this premise more strongly, I would have seen the focus on dating.

Thanks for helping me!

Thanks, Brian. This is much more clear to me now. Sometimes it takes a fresh perspective to see the subtle gaps that I missed. I'll try and embrace (instead of fear) the causal language next time around. Much obliged!

Core:

1971-1975 - 60 citations per year for serious violations of drug-promotion laws + 1976-1980 - 5 citations per year given out for same violations --> Govt was considerably more lax in enforcing drug-promotion laws between 1976-1980 than between 1971 - 1975


Why is A the credited response?

Hi, I am having trouble with Q11. I chose D. Can someone kindly walk me through why A is the correct answer? What inferences/rules did I need to consider in order to know this answer?

Thanks, all!

First Sentence: Background Information Premise: pre-Columbian inhabitants of Mexico began to use rubber around AD 1000 Conclusion: The game must have originated sometime between AD 1000 and Cortez' arrival. Goal: Necessary Assumption A- the fact that they played on all ceremonial occasions is not as...

Can someone help me figure out what makes B wrong, and D right?

Please help me figure this out. I chose A. Why is C the credited response?

Another quick and efficient way to answer this question is to use the information from Question 1, which requires you to place G in slot 2, and thereby P in slot 5. You quickly realize that LO is limited to 3 and 4. All you need to do is switch the variables, placing P in 2 and G in 5 for that same ...

How should I go about answering question 10?

Will someone please help walk me through their process in eliminating the wrong answer choices? Thanks!

Why are A, C, D, and E wrong? What about B weakens the Commentator's argument that "modern culture threatens the national identities that now exist in the world?"

What should my process be in order to solve question #9?
