Got confused by the fact that the lesson on Shallow Dip suggests that "A is typically B" also means "most As are Bs". But I guess the trick here is that to typically be something and to typically have isn't the same? This would be why we can't assume that because X typically has Y then most X have Y? Would love some clarification nevertheless.
I'm by no means good at these at all, but I've found the trick to at least get some of them right is to notice where one concept appears.
So for the stimulus, the conclusion ends with the idea of "high-technology businesses". And in the premises, this concept appears in the second premise, or second sentence.
In C, the concept of antique dealers appears at the end of the conclusion. Similarly, the concept of antique dealers appears in the second premise, at the beginning of the second sentence. It only took me like a minute and 51 seconds to do it, I'm not sure that's always what applies but usually if the conclusion is weird in one, it's weird in the other, even if it doesn't appear in the same place (which it does in this case).
#help isn't the second sentence of (A) a correlation? Antique dealers are positively correlated with a specific behavior (authenticating age of antiques they sell)
holy hell this one took me a while. I thought it was C right off the rip but then when I went to map everything out I got so confused. I ended up starting from scratch to fully understand it and after 8 mins I got it right
Got it right, but these questions are scary! It's like they are specifically meant to mentally exhaust you and use up all your time. On test day I'll probably skip these and save them for last. If I run short on time, I'll guess the hell out of them. The answer will probably be E too because the test writers have no life and sit around in rooms dreaming up riddles all day
#help is it possible to ascertain the answer by mapping it out as a conditional? I'm not sure if this is a reasonable method but somehow, I ended up at the correct answer choice by doing this.
Can Someone give a better explanation for why B is wrong?

I hate causal reasoning

how is this only a difficulty of 4??? it took me 7 minutes to get right lmao
brain died and resurrected halfway through. New brain was not smart enough to recognize B as wrong x-x
tips on doing this w/o diagramming or using lawgic??
for yall tripping about time: its practice rn. build confidence. one layer at a time, timing isnt valuable rn: the concept is!
#help Is this argument flawed since it chains together two correlations to draw a conclusion?
I thought of it as:
A -m-> B -m-> C
––––––
A -m-> C
#help isn't the second sentence of (A) a correlation? Antique dealers are positively correlated with a specific behavior (authenticating age of antiques they sell)
this one took years off my life i fear
i just want to french kiss the shallow dip
its that serious because SHE DOESN'T MISS
Lollll my brain gave up on this
i understand it now
holy hell this one took me a while. I thought it was C right off the rip but then when I went to map everything out I got so confused. I ended up starting from scratch to fully understand it and after 8 mins I got it right
these answer choices gave me a stroke
only took me 7 Minutes to get it right :/
I was confident to choose C this time without reading D or E

Stared at B and C trying to figure out which one could be the right one because they both seemed like good contenders. Got it wrong :(
i've found it very helpful using the three highlighters to express repeated ideas and repeating for answers
Three in a row answered right. I'm on firrreeeee
