Struggled again because I applied my own logic (aka "Why can't inspired musical performances and sophisticated listeners be independent?"). Need to learn to take what is stated as truth.
Great Question with tricky answers. Made me 2nd guess myself, but often I'm finding just building that intuition of the Sufficient --> Necessary chain is the most important. Just knowing how a condition is being treated, and being able to feel when the question swaps it from a sufficient to a necessary condition is helping a lot. Nothing substitutes practice and memorization!
Was 30 seconds over, but got it correct. Although, I have been feeling very confused and frustrated by these concepts, so I am not sure if it was just a lucky get.
I got it right but was 47 secs over. I'm understanding the concept, thanks 7Sage :). But reading the question and all the answer choices takes up a lot of time :(
Am I tripping because I'm not connecting the dots from inspired performances being present, being reliant on sophisticated listeners. The way I processed it was there could be inspired musical performances, but they would not be received as a "good show" if there were no sophisticated listeners to understand it. I understand the lawgic when it is drawn out and the indicators, however, I think I didn't take the chain as literal as you are supposed to. My unfortunate assumption led me to believe a good show required both IMP and SL, but not that IMPs being present required SL. Usually this would make sense but the chain should be taken as literal and I am having trouble with this. Jeez this incredibly long comment makes me think I'm over complicating things.
Ok, I understand how to analyze questions like this in terms of Lawgic, and it makes much more sense than English. However I'm doing it super slowly. Is it actually viable to translate each question into Lawgic or will I run out of time on test day?
I screwed it up cause I used "must" as a necessary condition indicator, and reversed the last statement. I know they always say these indicator words are under and over inclusive, but how should I know when that will be the case?
Wondering if I'm overcomplicating/if this will get me into trouble later, but for D, just because there are people in the audience that don't understand their musical roots doesn't mean that there are no people that do, right? Probably not necessary to point that out, but I feel like that makes D wrong for two reasons.
Made a massive beginner mistake, since ive gotten everything right so far I tried to do this one quickly and under time, but none of the answers sufficed to me, instead of slowing down and not worrying about the time I picked an option I knew did not make sense.... remember kids this is just PRACTICE!!!! (saying this to myself)

what is the diffenece between answer A and answer E???/?

One thing that has helped me is watching lessons and then drilling SA and NA-type questions! Eventually, it will all make sense.
I'm eating my words now... I guess there is a good reason for Lawgic.

Only took me 10 minutes but I got it
To practice more questions like this one, is there somewhere on 7sage I can practice, or do I need to review the previous lessons?
need to work on speed, but got it right :-)

Took me 17 minutes to solve it but I at least got it right haha
Actually got it right...I might not be cooked
This confuses me because isnt "understand" the sufficient condition to "sophisticated listener"? by the way its stated in the passage
I got the chain and contrapositive chain correct but I need to get better faster reading and translating answer choices.
So you can go left to right, but you can't go right to left? Just double checking

that took me 8.5 mins and I still got it wrong lmfao but in blind review I got it. sighhhh lots and lots of grinding ahead
I understand the logic, but it takes time for me to really understand it.

When a sentence has two indicator words, you are choosing to use the indicator word that serves as "glue" between two clauses- correct?
I.e.: No people who understand their musical roots will be in the audience, if the audience will not be treated to a good show.
Thanks!

I keep getting them right without fully underdstanding the lawgic/translating aspect. ack.

Struggling to wrap my head around this question... does anyone have any tips?
