This one was quick for me. More expensive coffee=less coffee made=less coffee sold=decreased profitability. Breaking the question down into smaller pieces made this one easier
maybe im just tired but saying that coffee shops will have to begin selling noncoffe products OR the coffee sales will decrease, to then say that selling those noncoffee products will decrease the shoppes overall profitability is contradicting and messed me up when trying to think about this "logically".
my biggest issue here is time, I've been getting better at at figuring out the logic, but not quick enough. does anyone have any tips on getting quicker?
I've never done this before so I was excited to test it out; I got it wrong, but I want to come back at the end of the module to see if I can apply what I learned to get right next time!
Can someone please help explain why the referential phrase, "in that case," refers to "the Coffee Shoppe will have to increase its prices", only and not the whole sentence, "If the price it pays for coffee beans continues to increase, the Coffee Shoppe will have to increase its prices."?
These kinds of questions are beginning to make a lot of sense. I got the correct answer on the first try but went 10 seconds over the time. I just need more practice to recognize the connections faster.
wow. i spent about 7min trying to diagram this thing for good practice, but couldn't get it right. then just read through the ACs. A and B I couldn't really make sense of, then C was like "duh pick me" so I did. Didn't even glance at D/E. Not sure if practicing basics is helping or hurting me lol
Wow, I chose B. I definitely got caught up on the logically must-follow aspect of the wording (as in, I could definitely see a decrease in profitability from selling non-coffee products and a decrease in coffee sales). It's good to know that follows logically means "MUST BE TRUE" and no assumptions!
On my first try, I chose b, because I was thinking more about whether it sounded the most like it restated the question. I kind of forgot that it was asking me what must logically be true, and not what best restated the question.
I don't understand how B can be wrong. It follows the logic chain and the question asks about what follows most logically based on the statements in the passage, NOT just generally.
I got this wrong twice haha but the explanation made it very obvious. I did understand the without in answer D however.

the right answer makes sense after I get the question wrong...oof

whenever we get these types of questions I always get them right but I always go over time (usually by 2 mins) is this bad??
literally the only reason i got this right is because i got it wrong like a month ago LOL
This question was hard but surprisingly I GOT IT RIGHT!
I wrote out all the conditional statements (if-then) I found this really helped me come to the correct answer even though I was three minutes over.
Fantastic breakdown.
I actually loved this explanation
Can someone please help explain why the referential phrase, "in that case," refers to "the Coffee Shoppe will have to increase its prices", only and not the whole sentence, "If the price it pays for coffee beans continues to increase, the Coffee Shoppe will have to increase its prices."?

lol I like to think that the noncoffee products are like redbull Italian sodas and not tshirts
22 minutes to get it right... i'm still sweating.
On my first try, I chose b, because I was thinking more about whether it sounded the most like it restated the question. I kind of forgot that it was asking me what must logically be true, and not what best restated the question.
i got it right but took 5 minutes...
I fell for the oldest trick in the book :/
do a and c not say the same thing?
This took me like 30 mins to get it wrong
Finally finished well under the time average AND got it right! Woohoo
