Re: Q20 - Shy adolescents often devote themselves

Just want to confirm that if (B) is also the SUFFICIENT assumption for the argument to work?

Re: Q17 - Glen: An emphasis on law's

(D) tempting! Sara doesn't actually say that the emphasis leads to (causes) overprotection of rights.


Could we say Sara even doesn't say the emphasis on law's purely procedural side? She seems only attack Glen's assertion that what is law's primary role.

Re: Q18 - Salesperson: When a salesperson is

I really could use some help on this if someone wants to chime it. I understand why B is correct and how the other answer choices are way off. However, my question deals with the stimulus itself. I think Matt said the second premise is a distraction, why is that the case. I diagrammed it as another...

Re: PT 52, S4, Q10

(E) We can argue that Passage B outlines a theory - that lawyers write that way because they see others lawyers write that way - but if we can argue that, then we can argue that Passage A also outlines a theory - of why historians do what they do to students . From your use of "thoery", I...

Re: PT51, S3, Q20 - Whoever murdered Jansen was

Answer choice (E) undermines the conclusion because if the fingerprints found at the scene of the crime were not Samantha's, then applying the same justification the argument uses to dismiss Herbert as the Killer we could dismiss Samantha as the killer. That would directly challenge the conclusion ...

Re: Q19 - Recent studies have demonstrated that

The better reason to eliminate answer choice (D) is the one you mentioned above. It simply presents a flaw in concluding that drinking caffeinated beverages causes heart disease. And I love this answer choice, because so many of us are trained to jump on the correlation vs causation issue in a way ...

Re: Q19 - Historian: The Land Party achieved

These explanations are all great and I now understand why (A) is correct. However, I just wanted to point something out for anyone else who made the same reasoning mistake as I did by incorrectly choosing (E). At first glance, I thought we couldn't assume whether the people who are more likely to v...

Re: Q22 - Antinuclear activist: The closing

Re: Q13 - The National Association of Fire

So am I right that in this stimulus the NUMBER is not relevant since the PERCENTAGE can also sufficiently indicate a trend? In other words, even if the number of homes in the community declines a lot leading to less homes with smoke detectors even with a percentage of 45%, we can also conclude that ...

Re: Q4 - Because quitting smoking is very

For example, you could strengthen the argument by saying (C) Nonsmokers who tried to quit heavy alcohol consumption habits had an easier time doing so when they instead chose to meditate during the hours when they would normally start drinking.

Re: Q19 - The format of television news programs ...

There's definitely a missing link between "maintaining/losing the expectation of careful discussion of public issues" and "actually THINKING about public issues in oversimplified terms". The first idea is whether we expect meaningful discourse out of our news outlet. The second ...

I realize this is an old post, but I wanted to ask something that I may not be quite grasping just yet. The criteria for determining whether we should choose the computer translation program over human translation seem to be: 1. speed 2. stylistic uniformity. Accuracy doesn't seem to be a criteria,...

Re: Q21 - So-called environmentalists have

A quick question. Can AC (D) act as a Strengthener?

The so-called environmentalist know that there are no objections work well other than the proposal of environmental concern, so they have to take this stance as their musk?

Thanks!

I'm confused of the negation of (A) :? Whether it is "Some Minlandians derive pleasure..." or " All Minlandians derive pleasure..."? I prefer to the former since “all” seems to be the logic opposite of "no/none". Am I right? Actually when a sentence contains several ind...
