Crossed out B but not for the reason stated in this video. Didnt even see that reason. I crossed it out for lacking specificity.
Heres the thing B is a perfect example of why we need some english comp sections. As JY has said alot of the test is about english comprehension we need lessons on that using things like B as an example.
I gotta sharpen those english skills!!! I didnt even think that "of all the candidates who do not already work for Arvue" meant some work for Arvue and some dont.
I diagrammed as fully qualified working for arvu -->/hire most productive and the contrapositive being: hire most productive --> /fully qualified working for arvue.
Therefore if Delacruz should be hired, then there are no fully qualified candidates working for arvue and by implication, he must be the most productve. Does this make sense? I still got the right answer
How did you know that none of the candidates currently work for Arvue? That wasn't stated or implied - it just says "WHEN none of the fully qualified candidates currently works for that company..." But how do we know we're meeting that condition?? If we're looking at the APPLICATION to the Principle, when should/shouldn't we assume that we're falling under the conditions of that principle?
I've started to think of these as if someone was arguing a point to me and I had the stick of truth and all I have to do is repeat their logic to them and it becomes true.
#feedback The whole thing about the argument superlatively implying that we should not hire the other candidates is confusing to me. I guess I intuitively made that connection, if they are arguing for not hiring one of the candidates because of the attributes of another, I assumed that logically, they are arguing for hiring such candidate, if not then why would the principle even apply? Feel free to let it be clear if I should not just make such assumptions, or if it can be dangerous to do so for future questions of this kind.
I see a gap in this question. There is nothing in the stimulus that actually says that a fully qualified candidate who does not already work for arvue ALSO needs to be the most productive. That is an assumption.
"Most productive" is a descriptor that the stimulus does not apply to the "fully qualified" and in fact does not apply it until the given situation where none of arvue's current employees are FQ for the role. Furthermore, in the given situation, the stimulus also does not specify that the company should even hire a qualified candidate. Maybe the candidate is qualified or is not. Either way, as long as they are the most productive we're good. According to the rule given in the stimulus.
Therefore, I was looking for an answer choice to confirm that Delazcruz did not already work for Arvue. But since Delacruz-- given in the stimulus-- IS fully qualified, the fact that she is also the most productive candidate is actually /becomes completely irrelevant.
This one took me quite a few minutes, but remembering to diagram it is what ultimately saved me.
