Re: Q4

E is incorrect because of the word "opinionated", which means "holding obstinately and unreasonably to one's own opinions; dogmatic"

The passage lines 5-8 say "more likely to hold an opinion", not "opinionated".

Matt,

Happy New year. You are right. I did not realize an opinion or request is not an argument. And yes, the CCM's argument is supported, by a series of events.

Matt, I think you are wrong. The Senior Guild does make an argument. It is a very simple argument that has only a conclusion (We want an exception to the ordinance) and an implicit premise (Because we say so), similar to the implicit premise in arguments made by every religion. However, the CCM does...

Nope, if you rewrite Ans A as, "It is an explanation...," it is still incorrect. The statement that follows it is, "Teachers fear computers for this reason." So Ans A is saying, "Computers can lead to less teachers is the reason teachers fear computers for this reason" ...

Re: Q6 - Ornithologist: This bird species is widely

Ans choice A is not weakly correct. It is clearly incorrect, because it says, "Assumes, without providing justification, that..." The Orn does provide justification - the well-concealed blind. So while he does assume the assumption in Ans A, he does provide justification. Unrelated, the Or...

Q16 - A common genetic mutation

Let us negate Ans D. If there are some other people without the mutation who can still get periodontitis, then it cannot be eliminated simply by the new drug. Hence, Ans D must be correct. Where is my thinking flawed?

Q20 - Morton: In order to succeed

I chose ans D here because it looks like while he did consider the counterexample, he did not consider the status of the counterexample. He did not consider the counterexample may be valid. What o you think?
