this was SO HARD

I thought that the flaw was that Arnot said changes IN the government can cause... but then he responded by saying that the government can't be trusted to act in interest of the public. thats why I chose D cuz Arnot wasn't talking about changes by the government, but changes in it.

I do see why A makes more sense though. I guess changes in government would have to be made by them

this is my fave reply section

getting this right felt SOO GOOODDDD

So does likely/unlikely mean causal? or is it just in this context

this is literally the 10th time Ive picked the wrong answer from the right between the last 2 I was considering

I wrote this out as:

change →motive

harsh c →UC→motive

harsh C→motive

-----

conc: change →harsh C

The way I wrote this out made me choose the wrong answer cuz I was looking at change and not harsh C as the sufficient statement, but I'm not sure how what I diagrammed is wrong?

this made me wanna pull my hairs out

Completely read this wrong. I thought since medical treatments cause the "I disease", the conclusion had a flaw since medicine that would remove all "I disease" would cause it as well. LOLL

Mapping this out helped;

neg news -- harm econ -- damage confidence -- spend less $

Econ: confidence is correlated with your own economic state

- immediately I thought but the overall economy affects our own economic state

idk man i got this right without understanding the text at all again... but its so UNSATISFYING

not me getting excited after seeing answer choice E

-This Zach guy is basically saying, "Let's tear apart everything done after the fresco so that the painting is the same as Michael wanted it to be." in this hes assuming that michael only wanted the painting the way it was before the fresco.

-Stephen says " Most painters back then, in the same era as Michael, used to paint over the fresco themselves"

- This shows us that maybe there was a chance that Michael painted over the fresco himself, so if they do what Zach said, then it might not turn out to be what Michael originally wanted it to be. so what stephen says calls into question zachs assumption

#help My issue with this is that I would translate it to

U→F

/SU→/SF

I get the answer, but not sure how to refrain from translating it to this instead

#help for B, if other birds can lay claim, then wouldnt they be able to lay claim in the same spot and then compete against each other? or is that just too much assuming..

ugh i thought this was saying "this is impossible, but I figured out why it was right" not why it was wrong..

i know I'm screwed when i can only eliminate 2 answer choices

whats after "only if" becomes necessary

got it right but at what cost.. 10 freaking minutes

ugh I had D then I changed it because I thought "any organization" was too vague, and I was also not sure why they only mentioned tech revolution

I did it this way and it worked:

it tells us

1. /C & U --unlikely-- History as MT

2. KH inc. --MJ dec.

Conclusion: KH inc. --less likely--History as MT

B tells us: MJ dec--more likely--/C & U

this connects everything since it would be

KH inc. -- MJ dec.--more likely--/C&U--unlikely--History as MT

this would mean KH inc.--History as MT which is our conclusion.

here is my thought process:

1. acquiring info→ difficult and expensive (D&E)

2. unless is negating either statement and making it sufficient so:

rational to acquire → benefit>D&E OR /benefit>D&E → not rational to acquire

3. this is the conclusion:

/acquire info → rational

It helped me to think that if something is not rational to acquire, and these people listen to that, then they are rational, or vice versa. Now looking at these statements I thought, how would we know if the person who didn't acquire the info actually listened to the benefits being greater? what if they just didn't care and it was not because of the rules they mentioned in 2? well since we have to make this conclusion work, we have to assume that these people that didnt acquire info and are rational, actually thought that the the benefits didn't outweigh the difficulty and the cost, which is what E tells us.

omg THANK YOU. #feedback

get comfortable with the logic rules. once you have that down you can easily spot how the only if changes B

My issue is that I would translate this to if A and B, then C. is this wrong?
