What helped me on this question was thinking this:
Conclusion is general. This is a general statement that the Author believes in.
The Evidence for the conclusion is the Premise. This is the Specific area that SUPPORTS the Author's conclusion.
The answer choice needs to be the closest restatement of the conclusion. And the conclusion should be a general statement of the Author's belief compared to the Premise (Evidence) which is the specific.
Was 38 seconds over, but got it right. At this point, I believe I am trying to absorb all of the information and think through all the possible responses. I'm sure my process will get more efficient as I go.
Got it correct, in about 30 seconds. However, the fact that I got it so quick and the length of the other answers choices made me pick the answer in 2 minutes 25 seconds. Any tips for speed?
I got this one correct, but I think it would become more difficult if the context was placed after the argument.
As I was reading it I correctly noticed the premise + conclusion relationship in the context. But since the excerpt went on, I figured that was just context for the main argument.
I picked the right answer in seconds. Even though I found the first two modules slow, I can now see the pace was beneficial, so that we could dissect arguments quickly and intuitively.
This was a great way to bring everything in the module together. I found that I was able to quickly answer the question with more ease than before I started this lesson. I'm so excited to keep going
Felt like a Mr. Miyagi lesson here. With the first drill questions I felt like I took ages to get the gist of the argument or the point. While I know there's still much to learn, this was really encouraging because it only took me a minute to get through this question. Easily discerning what was important to the "conclusion", the "premise", helped me kind of ignore the context and focus on what the question was actually asking.
where can i find the problem for this? all i see is the video explaining the answer.

Oh, good, that means I'm understanding the concepts. I didn't even recognize that it was timed. I certainly will be more efficient in the future.
LET'S GO! I did that fast too :D
i got trapped on Answer A...

woohoo it took longer than most, but I answered it correctly
In this question first line was context then transitions into author's opinion.
I initially thought A was the answer. At a glance it sounds like author would agree with this.
A is so definitive and the conclusion doesn't say that it says "not all efforts".
Whereas B is closer to that because it says "some.
Devil is in the details.
C is completely wrong employees aren't owners.
D is talking about the context no the conclusion.
E is only talking about the premise.
I got this one correct, but I think it would become more difficult if the context was placed after the argument.

I was 10 seconds over :(

omg omg omg its making sense
i got absolutely hung up on "clearly"! just was like "clearly?" okay conclusion indicator. which led to me to pick E and not B :,)
Diva, I’m cooked
#feedback I don't understand how to blind review, is there a section that explains this? I would like to get the most out of these first questions.
It didn't let me take the quiz; it only showed me the video. How do I fix this?
#feedback I can't click the bottom right arrow to continue the quiz
the trick is to seek out semantic logical equivalence - "not all are beneficial" = "some fail to be beneficial"
It did not allow me to go past question #1.
Question: Would you recommend reading the question stem before the stimulus?
We had to understand that “not all Xs are Y” means the same thing as “some Xs are not Y.”
Can we say that not all also indicate some Xs are Ys in addition to “some Xs are not Y.”?

Is it fair to say that questions in the form of "most accurately represents" is another way of saying find the conclusion
