Re: Pt47, S3, Q22 - If one does not have enough information to

Hey Noah - thank you for the information. I am still a little not sure. I keep reading it over but something is not clicking. Can you see if my thought process is correct below? To rephrase the stimulus again with additional inference in bold : "If you don't have enough information to make a go...

Re: Q17 - Reporter: A team of scientists

After another look at my core, here is what I have. New test correctly diagnosed 10/16000 correctly for autism and 2/16000 incorrectly sooner than before. ==================> so, autistic kids can now benefit much earlier than before with treatment. Is answer choice D wrong because it introduced ...

Q17 - Reporter: A team of scientists

I quickly picked B as my answer (correct answer) but then changed my answer when I got to D. (B) made sense because essentially it is saying "hey, even if you get some false positives, and if you are one of those that are falsely positive, you at least have treatment decisions to look into"...

Re: PT 41 S1 Q24 Medical treatments on patients

Great question, I struggled with answer choice B too. Here's what I thought when I read it: "An assumption should help connect the support to the the conclusion." Support : Knowledge of best treatment can be gained only if consent to experimental practices is bypassed in emergencies. Concl...

Q24 - Ethicist: In general it is wrong

I was quickly able to narrow it down to C and E. A: out of scope.Cross it out! B: although true in real life, knowledge of patient knowing they are undergoing experimental treatment is unrelated to what we are talking about. Out! D: talking about best treatments in general. Author is talking about b...

Re: PT 41 S1 Q 22 If violations of any of society's explicit

This answer was very helpful! I was between A and D. I thought it was A because the author assumes (takes for granted that) a society will avoid chaos as long as NONE of the rules are broken, and that's flawed. Well...the author is wrong because maybe chaos will result as a result of something else!...

Matt, I quickly narrowed it down to B and D. After your explanation, i see why it has to be B. Negating is a great method. However, I would like to elaborate on D, because that is what i chose same as the original poster. I think he or she chose D for the same thought reasoning i had. I told myself,...

PT 43, S4, G1 - There are exactly six groups in this year's

Can someone help me with a constraint. The game is about a Civic Parade and how they march. One of the constraints says: At least two groups march behind the puppeteers but ahead of the musicians. I took this to mean that there are two empty spots in between. M _ _ P Answering the questions, I assum...

Q22

I interpreted the stimulus to say "If you don't have enough info to make a decision, then do not make the decision only on the info you have. Instead, keep looking for additional info until you have enough to make an informed decision" I chose (B) because it fits the principle but the book...

Q21 - Many successful graphic designers

I had trouble with choosing between B & C. The book says the answer is B but I found C to be more provable based on passage. Many successful graphic designers began their careers after years of formal training, although a significant number learned their trade more informally on the job. But no ...

Angela - I had the same diagram you did. Except I had difficulty with some questions, especially # 20. I have printed your and Noah's solutions and will look at it - although again mine looks similar to yours.

Thank you for posting and sharing.

Re: PT43, S2, Q13 - David: The only relevant factor in

wow. that is good - thank you Mike!

I inferred too much and now I see your point in the text where I can point to where Davis disagrees and where Higuchi agrees. Explicit!

PT43, S2, Q13 - David: The only relevant factor in

The argument is between Davis and Higuchi about compensation over lost property. I chose answer (E) because to me it seemed that Davis gives a general rule by saying "the harm to the victim is directly proportional to the pertinent value"; whereas Higuchi takes two victims - one that recov...
