this question was easy for me based on poe. to me, the given excerpt clearly reads as the conclusion. not a premise, or hypothesis, but definitely some sort of claim, either B or E. Following this I reaffirm it as a conclusion and not a premise, therefore E
I got it correct, but only after using POE. I wasn't confident in choosing E because it didn't fit perfectly with the answer I had in mind. Definitely need more practice!
so this is why there was such a soft intro in the beginning. Someone said a question before that it felt like the quiet before a storm and their prediction was indeed true.
There's a way to get this question right from a high-level without the nuance of lawgic.
It's very apparent to see that what the stimulus is trying to describe is an ideal experiment (taught in prior lessons). Without care for what exactly the experiment will test (political structure and ecological/climatic factors), we can tell that the author is describing the need for control groups.
We know the purpose of ideal experiments is to rule out alternative explanations (through control groups, large sample sizes, avoiding self-selection bias, etc.). We know that this is all done ultimately in the pursuit of establishing a causal relationship, hence the correct answer (also given that you can see it is a conclusion).

I don't think I need any "more practice being confused" lol
How do we know the claim in the square box is biconditional? I thought only indicated group 2 necessary
got this right after blind review but still feeling defeated.
"Nope, didn’t make sense." - God, did that make me feel validated.

when did we learn to disprove bi-conditional?
sooo why are we mapping the logical structure if we know its a conclusion and thats what the question is asking about?
Square, circle, triangle... J.Y. is the new Front Man.
