I've also written an explanation for this problem and thought it might help! 26. (A) Question type: Inference A key to this question is the phrase "if Reza’s statements are true." The test taker should not pick an answer based on outside knowledge, or what they deem to be "reasonable," but rather ...

1. (C) Question Type: Unconditional This question does not provide us with any conditional ("If") rule in the question. It asks us for a pair of applianes that Henri could use simultaneously. Thus, we will look to eliminate the four answer choices that can’t be true. (A) The Logic Chain t...

18. (A) Question Type: Unconditional (Orientation) Orientation questions ask us to choose a complete and accurate arrangement of the elements (parking lots, in this case). Orientation questions often lead off the set of questions. They can be solved by working through the constraints one by one and...

I have diagrammed this as well - and explained the questions - and thought it might be helpful. I had a bit of a different take than Noah.

3. (D) Question type: Explain a result Although the question asks which statement is best supported by the argument, the argument itself clearly establishes a paradox or discrepancy: namely that the importation of mammoth ivory spiked in the period of time after African ivory was outlawed but then d...

2. (D) Question type: Identify a Flaw The flaw in this argument is that it assumes that what is true of one small part of a set will be true of the whole set overall. The publishing executive incorrectly assumes that if no one of the publishing company’s titles can sell 100,000 copies, then all of t...

23. (E) Question type: Application The original argument claims that if one kind of science cannot explain human mental events, then no science can explain them. Answer choice (E) exhibits a similar flaw in that it uses relative evidence to prove an absolute. It is further parallel to the original a...

20. (E) Question type: Assumption According to the argument, if medicine can effectively treat high blood pressure, then some cases of high blood pressure must not be caused by stress, since those cases could only be impacted by a reduction of stress. But this conclusion assumes that the medicine it...

17. (E) Question type: Identify a Flaw The author assumes that what is true of the whole is true of each individual part. He concludes that if ants as a class exist in every ecosystem, then no individual species of ant could be endangered. Answer choice (E) most clearly captures this flaw. (A) is ou...

14. (D) Question type: Inference The argument states that if a coin has a judge’s head on one side, it always has a tree on the other side. Or to diagram this logic: Judge’s head -> Tree. The contrapositive then is: ~Tree -> ~Judge’s head. Answer choice (D) is a perfect match for the contrapos...

11. (E) Question type: Application This question asks which principle is best illustrated by the three different premises in the argument. Answer choice (E) most clearly states the principle demonstrated in the argument, that people overestimate the extent to which others notice their behavior. (A) ...

8. (C) Question type: Analyze Argument Structure Stuck in the middle! The argument’s main conclusion is simply stated: "This is not the case." To answer this question, the test-taker needs to understand the specific "case" in question, which precedes the conclusion in the argument and states that ...

5. (A) Question type: Analyze Argument Structure Notice that answer choice (A) is simply a rewording of the first line of the argument, which is the argument’s conclusion. (B) is an accurate rephrasing of a premise contained in the argument, but not the main conclusion. (C) is an accurate rephrasing...
