I'm confused by what this means: "The right answer can also use a referential phrase in which case you have to point it back to the stimulus to make sure it's correct." What would this look like, and how would it work? Thanks!

you won't make step back 3's if you don't know how to take a jump shot.

What is he meaning by "phenomenon"
#feedback
#feedback second paragraph - It's also a great introduction because we got a glimpse into the various types of argument in LR.
"argument" should be plural to "arguments"
Main Conclusion: foundation of the LR
Not identifying the conclusion of the argument → can't do any kind of analysis of the argument
=> forces you to practice fundamental
Context could be others' hypothesis or not, but regardless, the author provides their hypothesis.
Context → Could be a phenomenon but doesn't have to be
When there's a context, the conclusion tends to be present right after the context.
Arguments → Made by analogy
Made with premises that work or independent premises
Predictive (conclusion is the prediction of the future)
Lay out a general principle / rule + apply that to a specific case to arrive at
a specific conclusion
Patterns in the
Stimulus
→ Tends to contain contextual information
→ Conclusion can be short, containing a referential that points to something in the context
→ Can contain within the
main argument + sub-argument
with its own minor premise supporting its sub-conclusion
then goes on to function as a major premise supporting the main conclusion
Right Answer
→ Fills out the referential phrase (make sure it's done correctly!)
→ Make sure it's correct by double-checking the referential phrase in the stimulus
→ Doesn't have to be an ideal answer—could be more general than the conclusion
> Appeal what lies on a reasonable spectrum
Wrong Answer
→ Stating a context / other people's position
→ An assumption of an argument
→ Sub-conclusion / main premises
→ Leveraging various potential grammar / logical confusion to make the answer stem
sounds like a statement made in the stimulus
Just wondering what it means for the correct answer to "fill out the referential" in the stimulus.

Can someone please explain what a stimulus is? I tried searching for it but could not find it. Thank you !!!
#feedback do we ever get a plain explanation of what a stimulus is ? where can i find that?
