for these types of videos, do you guys just watch the videos or are we supposed to attempt to solve them ourselves first. kinda confusing because for some of these questions the answers are not shared right away, rather step by step they are revealed
How am I supposed to practice like this and attempt to understand mapping if I will not have time for this on the test? The mapping for this took like 3 minutes, thats more than I should spend on the question right?
i got kinda confused with the distinction between ground level truth and belief in that truth, then i checked if i missed that lesson but seems like it is in the upcoming lessons instead
A little confused on how it would be "B could cause C" and not simply "B causes C". I might be overlooking something but in the text I don't see room for interpretation that B only has a chance of causing C.
@petvma my belief is because there introduced a necessary condition and the such in a way goes back to a conditional if. So it’s like A happened then b. If b does occur it causes c then we get d. But we don’t necessary know if it’ll happen its a hypo till the trigger happens
@petvma seems like it is mainly because all other things were explicitly stated but the transition from b to c was just implied, that is why we cannot say for sure that the growth in social demand for governmental action would lead to the government actually taking that action
When I first looked at this question, I ruled out A because of my understanding of the stimulus. I did not pay enough attention to connect the dots between "belief" and "which is surely correct".
tried to answer it by myself and got it wrong because I didn't take my time to notice that there was a period after "however", not a comma. interesting how such a minimal detail completely derails your performance.
Can someone explain the gap between B and C? I am having a hard time on this question. My understanding is that the gap from B to C is saying that more gov control implies that this control is in the form of protection from a military invasion, but in reality that is only one form that this control can take??? Therefore B could cause C???
Can you show all the answer choices without marking right or wrong first, and then start to go over them one by one? I prefer trying to solve it myself before I see the explanation, and you showing just A and saying that it's the right choice makes it hard to do it.
@suhyahn for all lessons where the written section does not show the question and answers, you can press 'Show Question' above the video to see what you are looking for.
one thing that I am still struggling with is how to make inferences from the stimulus that are reasonable.
I am also struggling with how to identify the assumptions made in the answer choices and the stimulus as well as the assumptions that I make for the stimulus and answer choices.

oh my days
im so confused
true/sure belief in the stimulus. Look for the word knowledge in the answer. NEXT! lol

@Vanesszabaranyai you can click on show question at the very top of the page
@Kofo OMG thank you !!!! how did I not see that
@Kofo So helpful. Thanks for the tip.
@Kofo omg thank you I did not see that at all

@MagicMushroom yeah no more than 1:15 on a question

Lowkey embarrassed I picked c knowing it was a lol
I am a little confused. What is the C clause?
@LaylaAbdel-Mawla Same here
This one was crazy
my biggest takeaway from this question is the importance of grammar parsing in getting rid of distractor and trap answers
Recall what lesson about true belief amounts to knowledge? Is this out of order or did I miss something.
this question is insane
I feel like this one is a little crazy.
When I first looked at this question, I ruled out A because of my understanding of the stimulus. I did not pay enough attention to connect the dots between "belief" and "which is surely correct".
Correct belief = knowledge
I do not understand how one is expected to answer this question in just over a minute...
did not know true belief amounts to knowledge, thats why I got it wrong. I was down to my last two but ruled out A because of it. Good question

@OwenTrela The gap between B and C is
A- Widespread belief
B- Growth of Societal Demand
C- (COULD) Extensive Government Control
D- (CAUSE) Economic Disaster
This one seemed harder because of all the modifiers in the stimulus.

why is it the case that B could cause C and not a regular causal arrow (--c-->)?
@IsabelSafar you can view the question in the “show question” bubble under the lesson title at the top
@Bomnal7 thank you! i was wondering if that was an option.
one thing that I am still struggling with is how to make inferences from the stimulus that are reasonable.
I am also struggling with how to identify the assumptions made in the answer choices and the stimulus as well as the assumptions that I make for the stimulus and answer choices.
any suggestions?
in my mind, "true belief" was different from knowledge because it a misconception so i got confused
What I took from this question: Process of Elimination is your best friend!
@LsatQueens Right, lol.
