Idk if this will help, but I ignored a and c because they felt too strong, and if felt like you could not use the information provided in the stimulus to actually prove that.
So do we approach these questions the same as PSA and SA questions?? I changed my answer from B to C just bc I felt like B was intuitive, but C negated I thought canceled the argument. Not sure how to approach this question.
What are other reasonings an argument can employ?? I was debating between b and c and of course, I choose the wrong one. I go back and see I couldn’t figure out the reasoning of the argument which I think is what didn’t allow e to chose the right answer. #help! If anyone can tell me what the reasonings are, that would be awesome. Either way, I probably have to check out prior lessons and go back to the basics lol
to me this question type feels so intuitive but I can't make the reasoning as to why I think an AC is correct conscious enough to describe consistently. Any tips?
i got this right but i do not understand which premise is the necessary condition. Is it necessary to display harmony to mimic nature, or is it necessary to mimic nature to display harmony?? #help #feedback... I absolutely despise necessary/sufficient condition questions :(
I see how D is wrong in the context of a NA question, but I am struggling to see why D would be wrong as an SA question. If being natural is identical to being in harmony with nature, then wouldn't the placement of the rocks in a "natural" way then by extension mean they are in harmony with nature? Wouldn't that bridge the gap?
I find it way easier to conceive these questions as using POE to eliminate every not necessary answer choice. It just seems easier to see what isn't necessary than what is, especially when you have to consider that the NA may be a SA too.
Let me know if I’m wrong. The reason strong claims like “guarantee” doesn’t work for correct answer choices on NA is because when it is negated ‘does not guarantee’ leaves a big range on the scale of guarantee (never guarantees - sometimes guarantees) and those types of claim will ALWAYS fail the negate test. ?? Anyone else think of it like this ?
A, C, and E all had extreme language like 'each', 'only', and 'every' which is too strong for NA. Eliminating those, I was down to B and D and chose B because what importance does D have for the conclusion? Ok so if those two elements aren't the same, does that destroy the argument? Not at all, but negating B does, so it must be correct.
The reason I got this wrong is because I confused the conclusion. I thought the first sentence was the argument. How can I differentiate this next time?
#help he talks about how we should not overstate the answers and it should match. Is there a list of question stems where it will be okay to overstate or be stronger then what is said in the stimulus?

SA was easy for me NA is so hard!!!
I am getting them right, but it is hard for me to tell the sufficient vs the necessary assumption right now. I am hoping I get sharper with practice.
Idk if this will help, but I ignored a and c because they felt too strong, and if felt like you could not use the information provided in the stimulus to actually prove that.
Clarification: This is a rule application question?
LOCKED IN!!!!!

oh wow so this is gonna be one of those sections huh..
I got this right, but I always feel like the explanations in the video are overly complicated. They actually confuse me even more.

I don't understand the "Imitation" part. I did not get this from the stimulus which is why I got the question wrong. #feedback
Can someone alternatively explain why B is right and D is wrong?
Thanks!
omg these lessons make me overthink these so much. these should kind of be common sense and now im getting mad.
I got this right but I also want to get better at negating.
I got the right answer by asking what is necessary not by negating.
can someone negate the answer choices and specifically B showing how effective the right answer shows when negating.

Trying to convince myself this is easy and common knowledge
Is it correct that some elements of the conclusion need to be in the answer for an NA question? LIke the answer needed to mention rocks right?

Had B first and under time but changed it to D and went over time because all my confidence is shot from the last couple of lessons....
it's so over for me....

I hated NA questions 4 years ago and I still hate them today 🥲
