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.
Got this one correct. What helped me was to really read the facts of the stimulus and not just jump into an answer choice because of "excitement". Take ur time and really engage with the facts and not your own assumption.
is anyone else struggling with this section more than the others? particularly with parsing what the stimulus is even saying. anyone have any tips on how to recognize the causal links quicker?
@tarayangg I did well in the other sections, and I did well in the causation lessons too, but I don’t know what’s happening to me here! It’s just not completely clicking yet- I feel bad.
@Alabeer012 keep your head up and keep practicing! It's not uncommon to struggle with one question type more than others. I was flying through MC and MC-MSS but the MSS def knocked me down.
The more you practice the less you will get trapped. Also remember there are 17 question types so you could get a handful of the ones you struggle with but a lot of the ones you're good at.

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!!!

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?

i got this one right but i damn near threw up out of anxiety that i'd get it wrong LMFAO
I did this through process of elimination, is that okay, am I on the right path. got it right, but did not find the right answer.
@Lola, they did say eliminating the choices is an effective way to come to an answer. Stay the course. You got this!
This one was actually slightly difficult, despite the low difficulty rating.
@JesseSides agreed.
@JesseSides yuppp
Got this one correct. What helped me was to really read the facts of the stimulus and not just jump into an answer choice because of "excitement". Take ur time and really engage with the facts and not your own assumption.
Got every other one right so far in the past few sections but this one kicked my ass... and turns out its a lower rated question than those. Damn!!

If you haven't done the Logic of Causation section of the fundamentals, I'd recommend it
