all I could think was that maybe people didn't care about ethics violations: whether he is guilty of them or not, perhaps that wouldn't change whether or not people like his performance.
when mapping the percentages out as before/after in a punnet square style like the previous lesson presented, I got the answer right away. shooketh that I understood a level five when i was struggling just a minute ago, dont get discouraged y'all!
Now reviewing I see why I got this wrong: The people that thought his performance was pooe are outside of the 52 percent. Those were the people that always supported him. Meanwhile the people that think he's a poor mayor have always that that and continue too. Meaning that is why the numbers are unchanged.
got this right but was 1:42 over.... i mean im proud of myself tho since this was a 5/5 level difficulty but damn, i need to trust my instincts better :(
What tripped me up is the phrasing "almost all". Why would "almost half", "52 percent" or conversely "48%" be synonymous with almost all?!?!?! I am operating under the principle "if the answer choice a little wrong, then it's all wrong". I do not see how the phrasing "almost all" in option A doesn't eliminate it for extreme language. "Almost all" was not in the room with us at all!
@mkoduah1 Because the almost all in the answer choice doesn't refer to almost all of the total number of people polled. It refers to almost all of the set of people who believe he was guilty of ethics violations. The almost half portion in the stem also isn't referring to the 52%, it's referring to the people who answered that they thought he was guilty of ethics violations.
I got this one right, so here's my thought process:
We need to find an answer choice that tells us why the residents still think the mayor's performance is great despite being allegedly guilty of violating ethics. Better yet, why did his performance rating remain unchanged?
I always do POE for RRE. As I read each answer choice, I'm immediately questioning their sufficiency to resolve the issue/question at hand, not their validity. So here's my thought process for all answer choices in quotes:
B is wrong, "cause why do we care about the opps again? It does nothing for the issue here."
C is wrong, "okay, even if they didn't know, WE still don't know how this would affect the performance ratings; C requires even more mad assumptions on our end before it would even do anything for the argument."
D is wrong, "Umm, what's our business with the Anti-corruption group??"
E is wrong, "Cause okay, even if he defended himself, that still does nothing to explain why the performance ratings remained the same". See now, most people picked E cause they made the intuitive assumption that "oh ofc the people must have believed him, which is why the performance ratings remained the same," when in reality we don't even know how these people would ever react to his claims.
A is correct because it answers the question of why the ratings remained unchanged. Is it a strong explanation? Eh, but is it the strongest among the rest? yes.
@Mari_on_nette YESS tysm my reasoning was the exact same!! even if i get the question right i still feel like i arrived at the right answer "incorrectly" when i read the explanation by 7sage. so this makes me feel good :)

I am so surpised this was a level 5. I feel proud of myself lol.

I have yet to get even 1 RRE question right ….. I’m giving up bruuuuu
@ratman23 I saw someone else recommend the law hub explanations, maybe try that?
I think this is the first time I got a level 5 difficulty correct with time to spare.
woo first level 5 correct
Now reviewing I see why I got this wrong: The people that thought his performance was pooe are outside of the 52 percent. Those were the people that always supported him. Meanwhile the people that think he's a poor mayor have always that that and continue too. Meaning that is why the numbers are unchanged.
i needed to reread the ACs to figure it out. once i understood what A was saying, it was a no-brainer
@SalmaanEjaz first jjk fan to take reading comprehension
@MorganLSAT
💀
i don't believe this was a level 5 difficulty tbh. got it -0:08s and answered correctly with full confidence like ermmm smth not right
to me it seems answer contradicts stimulus
I can't believe I actually got this right and knew why it was right. +51 seconds but still.
Got it right, minus 32 seconds! I only read A... intuition came through with this one
got this right but was 1:42 over.... i mean im proud of myself tho since this was a 5/5 level difficulty but damn, i need to trust my instincts better :(
I don't think I can ever get the resolve / reconcile questions right! :(
@NikhitaMinas SAMEEE….LIKE IT ACTUALLY!!! I DIDN'T GET ANY RIGHTTTTT
I'm so dumb answered B first thinking it was right not realizing it talked about different people fml, god have mercy on me.
I do NOT mess w this one even if i got it
1 whole minute over, but I got it right. I seriously need to stop overcomplicating these and go with my intuition.

Question there is a difference between resolve and explain correct?
I chose C
was between A and C (idk why I was between C), and of course, I chose C. Chose A in my BR. I do not like these question types.
