I have never heard of the shallow diving method before-- I freaking love it. I genuinely don't think I would have gotten this answer correct without it. I also answered it with 11 seconds to spare. So far... I am hopeful(ish)!
think the strat here is just find the answer that the pattern matches the stim. Like in this case it was most, most, most. E and D were both matching most, most, most, and E was better answer.
Remember, it says AUTO Mechanics. Then, in the next sentence, it just says most mechanics. Those mechanics can be referring to diesel mechanics, industrial mechanics, nautical mechanics, etc. Therefore, it cannot be a foregone conclusion that most auto mechanics understand electrical circuits. That's how I got this.
To simplify it, I also just counted how many times, the passage used the term "most", lol.
I can see why E is the right answer, but I'm still confused on why B is incorrect. I'm struggling to understand the premises. Is there another kind of analogy of the premises in B or another method that helped others to rule it out as incorrect?
Really great Explanation/video :). I usually just, attempt the question, then read the lesson and explanation/take notes but the explanation in the video here was super helpful! The Spectrum of shallow dipping is something I never thought about before, I used to just skim and then go straight into deep diving. Thanks!
I got this right in 58 seconds and I truly am amazed, considering I found the previous video so confusing. I found it EXTREMELY helpful to look at matching terms such as "most" in both the prompt and the answer choices, as it crossed out multiple answers super fast!!
too me 5.5 minutes bc I tried to diagram all answer choices--just need to build confidence on eliminating wrong answers through the shallow dip technique
Very proud of myself lol. I used the shallow dip and answered correctly in 2:41. Now, how that's 1:15 over the goal timing.... Idk. Probably gonna be cooked on these, but this did boost my confidence lol.
I think as soon as I understood the invalid formal argument form of most before most:
A -m-> B -m-> C
____________
A -m-> C
It became 10x easier to find the same reasoning in the answer choices.
Took me 1-2 minutes!

Got it right with four seconds remaining let's go!!

got it right but 4 mins over, a win is a win, & my brain is fried lollll
+1 min over but got it right... not too bad.
23 seconds to spare, because of shallow diving. Yea buddy
Genuinely shocked I got this correct, on time too, chat there might be hope for me after all

i got it right somehow
Got it right and under time. Literally just made sure it used the word "most" at all the right moments lol.
I can see why E is the right answer, but I'm still confused on why B is incorrect. I'm struggling to understand the premises. Is there another kind of analogy of the premises in B or another method that helped others to rule it out as incorrect?
I didn't see E at first and was sitting there like none of these many any sense to the passage LOL then noticed E like there we go

Fuuuuck I got it wrong initially because i did not read E I chose D but got it right in the blind review.
HEHEHEHEHE so happy I got this right holy shit
Shallow Dip is the method

My genuine reaction to the Shallow Dip working for me
Shallow Dip Worked, I just don't know how
Wow, I cannot believe the shallow dip trick from the previous lesson was going to be this effective! Got it right in 2min!
kind of proud that I got 2:05
