I got the blind review correct but the initial attempt I didn't get correct I feel like I try and find the one that feels right initially instead of looking for the one pulled/supported from the passage.
I’m still confused about why answer choice C is not correct.
The principle requires that a person buy the artwork only if they are confident in its authenticity, desire it for its intrinsic value, and are not purchasing it merely as an investment.
In choice C, she was confident in the artwork’s authenticity and desired it for its intrinsic value. But she wants to purchase the piece for its value as an investment.
Because of that, it seems the principle would apply and suggest that she should not buy the artwork. So I don’t understand why C is considered incorrect. ofc i get why E is the correct answer, but this just threw me off.
Got the question right. I wasn't trying to speed the question correctly. I understood the lawgic correctly, but writing the arrows in this instance was time-consuming.
I'm not sure if I NEED to translate into logic because when I tried translating I got it wrong, but when I did it intuitively I got it right. Should I force myself to translate into logic to prepare for the more difficult questions????
I just want to explain why I got this wrong: the question is asking what most helps to justify the application aka conclusion. C is wrong because its over all there things all of the "+" so thats telling us why she should buy. I needed to find why she Should NOT buy... anyways on my blind review I got it corrected.
Only took me a minute and 28 seconds. Got it correct with 13 seconds to spare.
Honestly, I ignored the crazy conditionals and exception modules before this one... It just overcomplicates things.
I just read the question and went through each answer choice.
In my head I asked 3 things.
What is the question asking me?
Which answer choice closely resembles the application?
Which ones can I eliminate off the bat?
A lot of these lessons overcomplicate things and muddle the water... We have to be quick on these questions. It's just basic logic for a lot of these questions.
I got the correct answer, but I did not do what you did in the video. I did this:
Authentic and Desirable -> Buy
/Buy -> /Authentic or /Desirable
m/B
-----------------------------------------
/Authentic or /Desirable
Am I approaching this wrong? Is this a confusion of sufficient and necessary? If so, how do I prevent making this type of confusion in my thought process? Help!!!!
I was trying to be quick and got this one wrong but after seeing the answer it became so obvious. For anyone else who got it wrong all this fancy language breaks down to is the fundamental idea that in Bi-Conditionals all either must be true or must be false. In this question we see that one instance was not true therefore the vase was not purchased and all you need to do is find the answer choice that has the mismatch IE which one has the out of place claim .
to prove that "not just for its value as an investment" isn't necessary it can be rewritten as "/investment AND investment".
So when you take the contrapositive you get "investment OR /investment", which satisfies every possible condition.

Confident and D for intrinsic qualities -> buy expensive antique. Contrapositive: /Buy -> /confident or /d for intrinsic q's.
She doesn't think that she should buy and E justifies this because if it has been frequently reproduced on the market then /d for intrinsic q's.
Furthermore, if it cannot be examined closely or authenticated over the internet then she cannot be confident in authenticating it.

I'm so beyond happy I understood this

ugh I translated it into logic correctly but still got the answer wrong
Don't forget to use the highlight tool to help remember the necessary conditions! Helped me answer the question under the time limit 😁

i don't 100% understand why you can just drop the last condition
went 6mins over the desired time bc i kept going back on my phone lmaoooo
What happened to me brah
watched 7 minutes of this video before I realized I missed the word "not" in the application
Took 11 minutes because I also wrote down why each answer was incorrect before submitted and to be sure. Got it right though, lol!
took me wayyy to long, but i got it right
I read the answers way too quickly, which led me to get it wrong :( after reading the explanation it makes so much sense.
Huge! Got it right! (Over 3 minutes though but we won't focus on that :D)
Eliminating the redundant requirements definitely eye opening!
encouragement for those who may feel frustrated: focus on accuracy then timing. you got this
