Don't think so, since there's no assumption actually being proposed one way or another. The question asks what information we would need/use to formulate an opinion or assumption. Sorta similar though
Are you saying 'Many' can't include the average... If average is the median, I feel like Many could include average. Do I need to go back over that lesson?
Yes, "many" could mean average but it is not guaranteed that it means average. It could also mean way less than average which is why we can't assume that it does mean that. Since we couldn't make that assumption, we had to look for an answer that would determine what the actual average was.
Can Evaluate questions be seen as another form of Point at Issue questions? I have noticed that even though they are not EXACTLY the same, they both attack the main argument behind both points of views. Of course, that would be if the Premise is a two sided Premise of two people's points of view.
I would say that this is more like finding a piece of information that would answer who is right or evaluate the author's argument. That's how I see this now, but I am no expert, so I can be wrong.

Is it correct to say this is almost like a Point at Issue question?
Anyone notice J.Y. gendered the Mytheco executive a woman- "she." LOL, I love it!
Here and elsewhere I find the "show question" button doesn't work.
@jjff Having the same problem
@jjff I was having this issue yesterday. I used the contact support on 7Sage to let them know, and this morning its back up and running.
is it correct to think of these as neutral W/S questions?
#help
@AlizaGGG I generally tend to approach them as weaken questions as I find that most of the ACs address flaws/assumptions in the argument!
This question is ranked easy I had to re read it like 2 times on the quick view before watching the video
Wouldn't this be a PAI Question - subset of it being a non causal reasoning - Analogy?
Could this not be considered a necessary assumption or sufficient assumption question?
Don't think so, since there's no assumption actually being proposed one way or another. The question asks what information we would need/use to formulate an opinion or assumption. Sorta similar though
When I quick viewed the question to try and solve it before the video, it had me sweating a little bit tbh. Anyone else get confused on this?
yes i had to read it over like 3 times
I appreciate how JY refers to the Mytheco executive as a she as an opposed to a he. Pretty cool. :)
came here looking for this comment #microfeminism
@jaquelinnerodriguezlopez4 why do you appreciate it?
@TheSovereign why not?
@KaylaStewart I am not a feminist.
@TheSovereign And how does that help your argument or point you're trying to prove?
I have taken a couple practice tests and don't recall ever seeing a question similar to this. Are these common?
I've also not encountered any like this that I can recall, but I also would not put it past me to have simply forgotten about it lol.
according to power score out of last couple years and out of 356 logical reason question youll see this 5 times so about 1.4%
