PT 65, S4, Q14 (Identify the Conclusion) (E) is correct. This is an identify the conclusion question, so we need to begin by (big surprise!) looking for the conclusion. It often helps to remember that the conclusion will never be a fact, but an opinion. In this prompt, we kick it off with some fact...

22. (A) Question Type: Identification (17-20) For this question, we must locate the place in the passage where Dostoyevsky’s opinions on reality are described. They come at the beginning of paragraph two. Dostoyevsky believed that "reality was necessarily shaped by the person who experienced it: wh...

21. (B) Question Type: Inference (36-41) This question asks us to take information from the passage and use it to make an inference about Dostoyevsky. In the third paragraph, Dostoyevsky is said to have defined an "artistic" work as one in which the artist "posseses a talent to express his thought...

20. (E) Question Type: Synthesis (10-15, 30-34, 42-44) Very rarely will the main point be stated explicitly in any one given place in the passage. Questions that ask about the main point of the passage require us to synthesize multiple parts of the passage in order to come away with a broader overa...

I've attached a paragraph summary and discussion below, and I'll post explanations to the questions in the thread. Hope it helps!

PT 65, S4, Q26 (Identify the Flaw) (E) is correct. Identify the Flaw questions are always assumption based, so you should start by outlining the core. In this case, we have a premise, an intermediate conclusion, another intermediate conclusion, and a final conclusion. Luckily, they’re laid out in a...

PT 65, S4, Q25 (Identify the Disagreement) (C) is correct. This is an Identify the Disagreement question, and as such, we have to focus on the overlap between the two speakers in order to discover where they disagree. In this case, we are given two full arguments, complete with conclusions and supp...

PT 65, S4, Q24 (Match the Flaw) (A) is correct. Match the Flaw questions are assumption based, and often involve a bit of conditional logic. The key is to break down the argument"”ignoring the content entirely"”and then match the specific pieces of the argument to those in the answer choices. Remem...

Here's my take on this one... PT 65, S4, Q23 (Principle Support) (B) is correct. This is another Principle Support question, so we start by locating the conclusion and supporting premise(s). We begin with a fact: "researchers believe that dogs are the descendants of domesticated wolves." This sound...

PT 65, S4, Q18 (Principle Support) (B) is correct. This is a Principle Support question, meaning it’s in the assumption family. With all assumption family questions, you need to start by locating the core"”conclusion and supporting premises. From there, you can try to predict what principle is bein...

Here's another diagram and explanation to add to the resources! I'll be posting explanations to the questions based on this diagram in the Game 1 thread. Hope it helps!

PT 65, S4, Q12 (Determine the Function) (C) is correct. For determine the function questions, you must always start by finding the conclusion (much like assumption family questions). From there, you can relate the element in question to the conclusion; unless it is the conclusion, it will usually e...

PT 65, S4, Q10 (Explain a Result) (D) is correct. With an Explain a Result question, you shouldn’t go looking for any kind of conclusion or supporting premise. Instead, simply look at the information and try to identify what the expected result would have been. From there, see if you can figure out...

PT 65, S4, Q6 (Inference) (E) is correct. This is an inference question. Remember, on these questions you should not go looking for the argument’s core. Instead, try to keep track of all the various facts, so that you don’t leap to an extreme conclusion. The answer to an inference question is often...

PT 65, S4, Q4 (Identify the Disagreement) (B) is correct. This is an Identify the Disagreement question. There won’t be any core (conclusion, premises, etc.), so instead, we should start by identifying the overlap between our two speakers. Gaby says kids should "follow their interests", with "expe...

5. (D) Question Type: Unconditional We have returned to the world of unconditional questions. With no new constraints, we have only our old diagram to go by. The question is asking us which answer could never be true, which means we’ll have to try and find a situation where each answer choice COULD...

Hey there! I attached a diagram and explanation below. Check it out. Hope it helps!

Hey guys! Check out the attachment for the diagram and explanation of Question 3. Hope this helps!

2. (E) Question Type: Unconditional This question does not give us any conditional ("If") information, which means we don’t need to manipulate our diagram in any way. It’s also about the drivers, about whom we already made a couple of useful inferences: When Faith drives, anyone other than Hannah ...

1. (A) Question Type: Unconditional (Orientation) Orientation questions ask us to choose a possible complete and accurate arrangement of the elements. Orientation questions often lead off the set of questions. They can be solved by working through the constraints one by one and eliminating any choi...
