I think here people forget to mention the assumed definition of "balance". We talk about "balance" as in work-life "balance". If work+life=100% of one's life, for a person this (work, life) need not be (50%,50%). It could be (0%,100%), (90%,10%), etc. That is, work does...

Hi, I am a little confused about the relationship between Fruits/Vegitables and Stroke. Since the stimulus says "fruits and vegetables by middle-aged people reduces their susceptibility to stroke", does it mean there is causal relationship between them? Because of the word "reduce&qu...

You're definitely correct that (D) leaves open the possibility that ALL the dinosaurs died from the impact and tidal waves and (E) leaves open the possibility that NONE of the dinosaurs actually contracted fatal respiratory disease. But on Strengthen, Weaken, Resolve/Explain, we're asked which &quo...

I have two questions about this question. 1) Which sentence is the conclusion in the stimulus? I'm confused between the first and last sentence. 2) I was down to B and C, and am having a difficult time understanding why B is incorrect. Can someone please explain me? Thanks in advance! I had the exa...

I want to provide an easy way to understand this one. Argument: Premises 1. benef. ->conseq. 2. Concerned...... (Concerned....legislation) ----------------------------- Conc ~.benef. up til here you're supposed to have guessed the assumption made: "Concerned.....->~.conseq." bc it co...

I can see why BCDE are all wrong, but not sure why A is right. The start-up cost may include something more than land and animals. For example, maybe we need to purchase much more expensive equipment in order to maintain the survival of ostriches, or workers for foster ostriches are much more costl...

I really want to raise an important concern for this question (hope somebody might give some suggestion). I was able to finish this one correctly during PT , remembering it took me for a while. I did it while reviewing and timed it: 2mins 21secs. I don't think this is a hard question at all, and whi...

Down to A and D, incorrectly chose D bc I missed out on the point that "less time to perform one's assigned duties doesn't necessarily lead to NOT boosting the corporation's profits. D would've required further assumption to be correct. I still have a bit of a problem with A, since earning abov...

" The argument doesnt say that the majority of the people who voted for the provinces capital were residents of the capital or anything about a majority of a small or large city voting. The stimulus said the poll is representative of the province's residents, so whether the the province's resi...

Regarding B: It says Deidre fails to take into account (.....), so B thinks that (....) should be taken into account. So if (.....) weren't taken into account, you can still achieve happiness according to both the philosophers and Deidre. In other words, taking into account (....) doesn't make any d...

In flaw questions, do assumptions answer choices have to be "necessary" assumptions to be the correct answer? Can "sufficient" assumptions answer choices also be the correct answer? It seems that if the answer was about sufficient assumptions, it'd be incorrect. Is it because for...

damn, I missed out on that "average" and picked D, I also missed out on the info of "similar land". Here just to provide an easy explanation for A Cattle ranching: a larger herd of cows, one bull , (assume cost $A) and at least two acres per cow. Ostrich farming: two pairs of yea...

The word "for example" makes me fee like what is following the "for example" is one possible reason to not blame someone for bring up misfortune unwittingly-- unforeseen. I was wondering if unforeseen is only a possible reason for not blame others, anything that satisfy the cond...

I want to go back to the B versus C analysis. B makes sense as it is, but in the moment I didn't so easily label C as "out of scope" just because the language didn't include "those who regularly inhale". If C were to have said, "At least some people who use the scent of lav...

I know B is correct, but I am not 100% sure why A or C is not correct. For (A), we know elevated hormonal activity is the only cause of abnormal development of certain body parts , but we do not know whether the telltale belongs to the "certain body parts" . Therefore, (A) seems correct. ...

I had no problem with all four incorrect answer choices, and I got the right one by eliminating these four but I just couldn't come up with AP rephrase answer even though I knew this was a "necessary assumption" question. By negating C, I knew that if "none of the films by a film stud...

I appreciated your help, Patrick. I'll keep in mind to post them in the original thread sex time

Regarding PT54 section#2 18: The first sentence: "Taking a strong position on an usernames one likely.....with one's stand." This is a principle example question with an implied principle. The first sentence, however, wasn't part of the argument, according the original thread. What I'm con...

Percent vs Amount: As seen in the examples of Manhattan LR, the argument goes " The idea that comic book collectors are especially likely to attend science fiction movies on opening weekend is wrong. A largely scale study found that comic book collectors make up only 15% of opening weekend audi...
