i got this question right (granted, i did go 2 mins over) but ive figured out that i cannot for the life of me diagram, so i am focusing on POE and being hyper vigilant about word choices in answer choices, and that is doing me pretty good!
these are starting to make sense, I think the main trick is accurately pointing out what is the main conclusion/argument here and then from there POE based on what is relevant to the argument and makes sense given the premises
got it wrong in actual take, right in BR when I realized the conclusion was referring to the people's INTERPRETATION of that vow being a feeling rather than making that actual promise itself. God I need to read way more carefully.
Again, first thing after reading stem is to get down the conclusion. It's apparent we can lose marital vows and no one/anyone so:
C: don't take love to refer to feelings
The MV contain UDDUP is just context, so throw that aside.
P1: if love = feeling -> promise sense
P2: (why p1?) feelings controlled
P3: control = sense
At this point there is a gap between "things making sense" in the premises and not finding anything about "things making sense" in the conclusion. The answer will have to bridge that gap.
A) missing sense reference. Restates P2 differently
B) missing sense reference. It doesn't tie to the conclusion. Trap, but also simple pass
C) missing sense reference. It ties to conclusion, but not the premises to the conclusion
D) DOES have sense reference. Seems logically sound with other premises. Let's check if E is better.
E) DOES have sense reference. But this would also seem to make it valid that one could argue against ever getting married, which is not what the conclusion is stating. Also not seeing where we've already encountered promises that can't be kept.
Looking back at D, it is using interpret in conjunction with promises and their sense. That seems very much aligned with the conclusion.
I had the argument structure down but got the AC wrong for actual take and correct in BR. but i do not fully understand why. The wording in these AC's really messed me up.
Sufficient Assumption questions feel tricky because the right answer always triggers the part of my brain that says "nope that would be too easy that can't be the right answer"
YESSSSS finished with 29 seconds to spare. Looked at the conclusion, asked myself "What do I need to assume for this to be true?"
I told myself "Oh I would need to assume that when people say Love in this context, that they don't MEAN the promise. But they could! They totally could MEAN and INTEND a promise even if when parsing it out logically, it doesn't make sense. So I need to ASSUME that somehow you shouldn't take Love in this context to refer to feelings, if someone makes a promise that doesn't hold up logically (makes no sense)"
Because I've definitely made promises that I've later realized made no sense, doesn't mean I didn't mean it that way.

Under the time on a level 5 difficulty. No better feeling.
i only got it right because ive seen this question recently.
I'm going to pull all of my hair out. ALL of it.
@Njbrunette i already have

got this right but do not want to read why in fear of being confused LMAOO
I GOT IT RIGHT GUYS
... in 6 minutes and 37 seconds
@JunoGrace Hey boss, at least you beat me 💀 (8min 11 seconds)
This one got me, but I understand why the wrong answer is wrong and why D makes sense.
yea this one was difficult
ooof this one was rough
this one got me chat but that breakdown helps
did anyone try to do conditional formulas for this one lol
Too many of these answer choices made sense to me ughhh
I had the argument structure down but got the AC wrong for actual take and correct in BR. but i do not fully understand why. The wording in these AC's really messed me up.
I did not understand this at all
@MarieChavis same, even with his explanation
What the heck was this question man...
Horrible
Got it wrong at first and right in my BR because i went "ohhhhh that makes more sense".
@ Same I think I was just to fast to answer at first without really thinking through the question.
@jrm98 were you able to understand why your actual take answer choice was wrong?
Sufficient Assumption questions feel tricky because the right answer always triggers the part of my brain that says "nope that would be too easy that can't be the right answer"
Got it wrong first try but in the blind review I saw my mistake and chose the right answer I'm taking that as a win lol
