I personally prefer my Bob the Builder costume when I build a bridge. Most likely why I get half of these wrong... the bridges I build collapse like a house of cards as soon a breath of air touches it.
Is it wrong to rule out answers on SA questions that try to bring you an alternative explanation to the argument? I feel like B did that. Why is flattery generally ineffective? Because Merit is the guideline. We should only be focused on proving the argument the author made.
I think 1)I'm too dumb to understand JY's "lanugauge" or 2) sometimes the explanation is not sufficient for me.
a-the use of "expect" is why it's wrong. they know flattery when they see one, but that doesn't mean they expect it.
b-"tend to focus" is not good enough to cause "subsequent" promotion of kiss-as/sers, which leaves room that the flattery might still have some room in affecting it.
c- tricks you into thinking that it's the contrapositive form, when its wrong.
Flattery noticed=>"almost never" effective.
Contrapositive should be:
flattery not noticed=>"almost always" effective? but the choice says its ineffective
The psychologist reasons that even though many employees who flatter their bosses are promoted, the flattery is so blatant that it is obvious. The argument fails to connect the obviousness of the flattery with the motivation for the promotions. In order to Justify the Conclusion, we will want to show that although the flattery is obvious, it does not actually impact the motivation behind the promotion of employees.
No be the that annoying person there is a typo in answer choice A, I believe it is supposed to say flattered instead of fired
Answer Choice (A) says people in positions of responsibility expect to be flattered. The information here tells us that supervisors expect to be fired. But it still leaves unanswered the question of whether flattery is effective.

the fact that the stimulus is one sentence is crazy
"Bob the bridge-builder, yes we can"....thx JY, that's going to be playing in my head while doing SA questions for sure
I am flattered that this question was not too difficult. Just really long.
Cant get any of these right in this module.

This lesson is missing the "show question" button

It would be helpful if I could read what you guys are writing....
I am confused because I am not seeing a pattern in the way of solving this like how I have seen in other LR questions. Can anyone help me?

d-is just too stupid of an answer
This question is a blob to me
Honestly, a lot of these come down to being the main conclusion. Am I wrong here?
