@Galaw2027! For me and my thought process but putting it out if anyone wants to chime in.
E is right bc based off the last sentence, if you're conflicts are based on ideology then you are unwilling to compromise. Based off the first sentence, only people who are willing to compromise should undergo mediation. Together, those who are not willing to compromise (conflicts based on ideology) shouldn't undergo mediation.
I was stuck between A and C but took out C bc politicians could possibly be censured for other reasons. We don't know. A ultimately bc the prominent politicians were in a serious scandal, they can't be reelected or avoid censure. We already they won't be reelected, just need that other part they mentioned in the first sentence.
E because "atleast some" which are those with A lipids with no benefits to diet, put them more at risk even after the low fat diet since they (type a volunteers) shifted to B type profiles based off last sentence.
Stuck between B and D. struck out D bc if we rearrange the sentence, violence is distinct ("different") from the self expression sufficient for survival under normal circumstances. D is something we can agree with bc violence is not needed to survive in normal circumstances. B ultimately bc this is something we just don't know bc the only form of aggression mentioned is violence.
I was stuck between A and E. Not A bc we don't know anything about city with worst air pop. today. Just that cities from 30 years ago now have better air. E felt like it was one of those too easy to be right. it's generally stating something that they mention. We don't have a one off or specific thing to look into.
The other sections have been fine but this one is so difficult. I think I'm struggling with the logic part of this. Is the best approach just going back through the formal logic section or are there specific videos that people have found helpful??
I got 4/5! I can't wrap my head around why I got Q4 (PT124.S2.Q2) wrong though. I looked at the analysis as well, but its still not clicking. Someone #help please :(
@legallysaz This question is asking us to find which claim simply MUST be false, meaning, which claim explicitly contradicts the stimulus. The stimulus says that Samantha likes both oolong and green tea, but none of her friends like both; it also says that all of her friends like black tea. So, the answer choice we're looking for must be explicitly in contradiction with these claims!
All of the incorrect answers in this question seem to simply be not possible to prove or disprove from the information we have. For example, answer C. says that all of Samantha's friends like the same tea as one another, but we don't know if this is true or untrue because the stimulus doesn't explicitly tell us either way. We see the same issue with A., for instance; we don't have any proof that Samantha does or does not like black tea, so we can't say that answer A. must be false. The answer we're looking for is one that we can undeniably point to and say, "hey, wait, that's completely untrue!"
By this criteria, the right answer then has to be E., because the information in E. is in direct contradiction with the stimulus. E. says that one of Samantha's friends likes the same kinds of tea that Samantha likes, but wait, our stimulus says that none of her friends like the same kinds of teas as her! This answer is directly contradicting our stimulus. And since we're looking for an answer that holds a contradiction - a must be false answer option - answer E. is our pick.
Hopefully this makes sense and isn't condescending or anything of the sort!! You got this, best of luck in your studies! :)
Id like to know which ones I got wrong at the start of the blind review so I can focus on those.. Knowing that I got 40% right but not knowing which ones + being certain through the whole thing makes you uncertain about ALL of them.. Lowkey depressing af
@mrunordinary You can know which ones are wrong. The circle that you see there (picture 1) is either because you flagged it, you got it wrong or you took more time than required to answer it. If you want to know exactly why then you can hover on the circle with an i in the middle after the "recommended for BR" and it will let you know (Picture 2).
wait guys i took a 2 day break cause these have been KILLING me and this is the first quiz i did since... I got a 4/5 and mind you ive previously been failing these harddd. so all this to say is that if your'e on the verge of crashing out, take that break. come back refreshed and try again!

5/5 FINALLY
4/5 and knew exactly which one I was gonna get wrong as I was doing it
5/5 but I was miserable and shocked I got a 5/5. Also took hella long
@Bruh Same with me! 3 of the 5 I was over 4 minutes of my target time but accuracy over speed for the time being.
3/5 ughhhh

@EmmaMoulton im having the same question
These were BRUTAL... Definitely need to hone in on MBT, MBF, and INF questions... I need to figure out the strategy.
got 2/5 then 5/5 on blind review. Definitely need to study this more
I don't know why I thought doing this in a noisy place on my lunch break would be a good idea...2/5 and I feel like I didn't really learn anything T_T
5/5 this one felt really good.
I'm proud of my 5/5, but I feel I feel like I could've been a little more confident in my choices.
got 2/5 then took a blind review got 4/5...
I got an 80%, which is not bad but I was not confident in an answer that I got right, but confident in an answer I got right.
3/5 :(
5/5 but took 25 min :(

@madeinkeaven Thank you so much!! This makes total sense now. Not condescending at all! Best of luck to you too :)
Omg 7Sage, you keep making me change my answers on ones I got right, I don't know how much of this I can do
Id like to know which ones I got wrong at the start of the blind review so I can focus on those.. Knowing that I got 40% right but not knowing which ones + being certain through the whole thing makes you uncertain about ALL of them.. Lowkey depressing af

Picture 2
5/5 but why do I take so much more time on the level 3s than the level 4s
4/5, all of these were so hard tho. i just started my day...
wait guys i took a 2 day break cause these have been KILLING me and this is the first quiz i did since... I got a 4/5 and mind you ive previously been failing these harddd. so all this to say is that if your'e on the verge of crashing out, take that break. come back refreshed and try again!
It is crazy how I do so well with the examples and the lessons and then do this drill and get 1 answer correct lol
@OwenTrela You're not alone :)
@TrinhTran I'ma need yall with no answer right to show up more because these question makes me think how dumb can I really be!?
@Tombee64 I got 1/5 for my first attempt lol
Well. Only 3/5 for first attempt 5/5 BR.
