Why is it acceptable to make the assumption that if a place is not uncomfortable then it is comfortable? Since we don't know how this speaker defines these terms, wouldn't it be unreasonable to assume there is no possibility that a place could be neither comfortable nor uncomfortable (e.g. simply neutral) to the speaker? How do we know when it's ok to make assumptions like this vs not?
Only part I'm stuck on is that I think you need to go ahead with the assumption that if something is not uncomfortable then it is comfortable, but since that's not directly said, I got this wrong my first time.
If you got this one wrong don't stress! It was soo hard and this was a question I had on my diagnostics that I got completely wrong. One month later I answered it correctly with confidence.
Answer C is a valid inference, thus is true. Heres why: ALL CH and Rest are PP. Most well designed PP feature artwork. Since all CH and Rest are PP, we can conclude that most CH that are well designed ALSO feature artwork just like Most PP do, because a CH falls within a PP therefore that must be true. But so does a Restaurant. The explanation in the video is not a good one because the relationship stated in the stimulus is between public places and artwork (and again all CH and Restaurants are PP). If answer C had MOST CH AND RESTAURANTS, then it would be a 100% correct. But, D is more true.
realised the answer often links the first thing of the chain (well designed) to the last thing in the chain (spacious interior). not always, but a pattern ive seen so far. i skim for it in the answers and see it happen alot
I think I overthought this question. I was concerned with conflating not uncomfortable (the contrapositive of the 3rd claim) with comfortable so my conditional chain didnt get me to the right answer and I chose C. I now see why C is incorrect, but I mean it still leaves the question, does not uncomfortable equal comfortable? I'd love some 7sage insight. #tutor #feedback
It took me 4 minutes but I got it right in the first try. I am trying to figure out how do you get these kind of questions right without mapping out the logic. I feel my adhd brain needs to map these things out.
I understand why it's D and not C, but it required a lot of thinking and was not formulaic - I don't think I could get this answer quickly under time pressure consistently. Is there a rule of thumb that helps us eliminate C in scenarios like this? "Be careful with 'most' relationships when kicking something up to the domain"?
i was struggling between D and C, but honestly the only reason i chose D (correct) instead of C (incorrect) is because im hella jaded and figured that the correct answer would not be that simple and straightforward lol. this test has traumatized me and altered my brain chemistry
I got this right on blind review and after diagraming everything the way that J.Y. has been teaching us... I need to respect the rules of this test. I find that I get things wrong when I scoff at it and try to brute force my way through the stimulus.
Somehow I got this in 1:15. I suppose practice really does pay off because I saw the right answer and immediately knew it was right.

Keep working, you'll get there :).
i got it right and under the time omg
I got it right!!
omggg i got it wrong on the actual and right on the blind review 😭😭

I have been struggling with these questions and is really affecting my confidence. Can anybody recommend how I can understand these better?

I got it right! YAY (51 secs over tho) lol. But speed over accuracy
I am so horrible at must be true questions.
It took me 4 minutes but I got it right in the first try. I am trying to figure out how do you get these kind of questions right without mapping out the logic. I feel my adhd brain needs to map these things out.
I can’t believe I got this right! But I was a minute over :’(

completely lost me at buckets and scoops
took me 51sec and got it right...tbh I chose D because it had all the keywords that was mentioned about well-designed spaces.
it took me 15 minutes--oh my soul
got it right the first time!
... but it took me 9 minutes
i was struggling between D and C, but honestly the only reason i chose D (correct) instead of C (incorrect) is because im hella jaded and figured that the correct answer would not be that simple and straightforward lol. this test has traumatized me and altered my brain chemistry
so i get the logic right but for some reason get the wrong answer, does anyone know why this might be or how i can pick the right one?
When he explains why AC "A" and "E" are wrong, he discusses that Coffeehouse and Public Place is redundant.
Does that mean we can read AC "A" and "E" as:
Any public place that has a spacious interior is a well-designed public place
or
Any public place that has a spacious interior is comfortable
?
Or, would this be an incorrect statement?

I got this right on blind review and after diagraming everything the way that J.Y. has been teaching us... I need to respect the rules of this test. I find that I get things wrong when I scoff at it and try to brute force my way through the stimulus.
I didn't get the logic right but I somehow still got this right. Can anyone tell me where I went wrong? Here's what I wrote
artwork --> well-designed --> comfortable --> spacious
Somehow I got this in 1:15. I suppose practice really does pay off because I saw the right answer and immediately knew it was right.
