is it true my accuracy is being tracked through these small drill questions as well? because I had no idea and sometimes did not type my answer but got most of them right just by reading and clicking the answers and my accuracy score came out really low so I was confused.
Notwithstanding the planet Dune being a desert, it was revered and considered invaluable by the people.
This is not an argument, but if it had another sentence that stated "As sand was seen as important to the people and the people enjoyed the warm weather"
In Q2, the concession and conclusion stood out, but that "Studies have shown…" lead-in felt tricky—less a premise and more like context. Did anyone else get that at all?
Why is Question 1 an argument? What am I being persuaded of? It seems to me like the writer is merely stating a decision they have already made and then describing their circumstances further in the last sentence.
#help For Q5, why is the phrase "it was revered and considered invaluable by the people" considered a conclusion, if the author is stating a point made from others opinions? When I first answered this, I assumed it was context as discussed in the prior lesson as it is referring to another person's position.
So nice to get a tricky one right. The last one. What helped me...seeing "It was revered and considered invaluable to the people" prompted me to ask "why should I believe that" to which there was no point or premise.
How does question 4 contain a concession point? The entirety of the first sentence is a premise that supports the conclusion that other strategies are necessary.
For question 2: If regular was not mentioned then it would leave a gap in time consuming? Is this correct? Because we are assuming that it is regular gardening that is why it is time-consuming.
Can you clarify that confusion and assumption like that in the wording and how it increases the relationship support between context and argument?
For Q4: Is It (referencing the IT infrastructure or upgrade) is necessary to incorporate other security strategies before we roll out the new systems?
One can say that a concession indicator serves as a pivot, meaning a comma will come up in the sentence that most of the time leads the conclusion.

5/5. Definitely still early in the game but it's rewarding being able to quickly understand these concepts.

Could we break up the premise for question 2??
“There many not be another alternative (given the PREMISE of) my current medical condition”
J.Y. Lisan Al-Gaib confirmed??

Would that make it an argument?
The planet was called Arrakis buddy not Dune

For Q3, how is "which indicate that they are actually under additional stress" an argument and not a premise/context?

Through this exercise I found that being able to identify the concession makes the conclusion to the argument much easier to quickly identify.

#4, I thought the whole first sentence was a concession
