In the video I was very confused on how the B to possible D connection was made, but I think I got it?
Sentence 1 is saying accelerated growth --> more demand for tech development (A-->B)
Sentence 2 is basically reinstating what 'demand' is, which is more buyers than sellers (sort of reinstating B). That and there are some business on that supply side.
Sentence 3 says the accelerated growth can cause business failings (D-->E).
Then we can (kind of) assume with 'supply businesses' wanting to seek the 'demand' (B) of that growth (D). And what happens to those businesses? It can cause failure.
...idk if that made any sense to others.
I still got it right but I'm worried about making mistakes regarding this leap in more difficult questions.
I could not eliminate E but I could not choose it as the right answer either. Now I understand why - the strength of the answer does not match the strength of the stimulus. The stimulus points to a potential for something to happen, while E wrongly assumes that this potential is definite (says "increases" when it could have instead said "could increase").
I chose C because I liked the use of the word "may" and read too fast.
I don't think I liked the placement of elements in B at first glance, so I misunderstood the relationship.
I recognized that the stim did not use definitive language or relationships, so E was immediately wrong to me. A compared businesses which is not what the stim does, so that was canceled. I actually eliminated D based on the use of the word "most" because we know that's a quantifier but we have no quantitive data (i.e. no support showing that more than half of businesses will prosper).
I was pretty much guessing on this type of question before the 7sage curriculum. Learning that I need to identify the premises and infer a conclusion was a HUGE help here
Is there ever a time where the stim doesn't have any comparative claims, but the correct answer choice does contain a comparative claim? Or is it always the case that if the stim doesn't include a comparative, we can always eliminate comparative answer choices?
This one took me 27 seconds too long. I feel like my brain turned to mush reading through the ACs and the Stim. I got it right, but man it took me a while to get there.
Isn't C also confusing necessary with sufficient? I read the first sentence of the stimulus as A --> B, where A = economic growth and B = acceleration of business demand. C is saying if B --> A, right?
@JackLaughlin It uses the hedging language of "may." "If you're a dog, you are a pet," supports the claim that "if you are a pet, you may be a dog," because we established being a dog is sufficient to be a pet, therefore if one is a pet, they may be a dog, but they could also be a cat, parrot, or some other sufficient condition, that latter point not being explicitly stated, but implicitly so.
However, if it stated that "The development of new technologies will accelerate economic growth in general," then your point is true, making the argument invalid. However, remember, the question asks which answer is most supported. We are not concerned with the validity of the argument that the answers make.
@JimMcEnulty To add to my point, I don't know if 7Sage ever covers this, but there is an aspect of Lawgic that I have discovered. Let's look at the following argument:
All A are B.
A --> B
If we accept this as true, then the following must also be true:
Some B are A.
B <-s-> A
Or
If all dogs are pets, then some pets are dogs
Or
If all dogs are pets, then a random pet may be a dog.

Finally got a MSS question right!! Slow progress
Might've been my fastest yet, correct with 33 seconds to spare

I got this wrong initially but correct in BR.

Time is the issue for me for sure.
bruuuu I SUCK AT MSS!!! I CANT GET ANY RIGHT :'(
HELP :(
got it right, 1:52 minutes over the time though.
Got it right, went way over the time though. Small victories?
Yay! Got it with 1 second over! :)
Does the timer seem wrong for anyone else? It says i got it in 26 secs lol 😅 maybe I'm just goated
@CarlosHernandez03 its been doing that for me too... like no way am i answering these questions with a minute to spare
took me a while but i got it!
I also eliminated E because it almost seemed to general of a claim to make from the statements in the stimulus
That one should have been easy, but I rushed it. Got it right on BR.
This one was tricky! But I got it right! yayaya!

Oh I'm SO happy here. Got it right WITH 31 SECONDS LEFT!!! Let's gooooooooooooo. Once I got to B I knew that had to be the answer!
BOOOOOOOOM!
Sufficiency vs Necessity... it clicked here. Finally.
I used the if then relationship but iIstill got it right. is it bad that I could not determine a causal relationship
I think it may have just clicked! Looking forward to continuing to improve.
I finally beat the timer!!!
Is there ever a time where the stim doesn't have any comparative claims, but the correct answer choice does contain a comparative claim? Or is it always the case that if the stim doesn't include a comparative, we can always eliminate comparative answer choices?

I feel so freaking cool and awesome....finally getting the hang of this. Time is my #1 enemy but I'm getting stuff more consistently right now :')

Does that make sense?
