Hell yes!

interested!

Please!!

@rahelaalam514 Oh my god thank you so so so much!! I think on this part

Premises

Maintaining a Healthy Back ---> Proper Alignment ---> Muscles Opposite Sides Pull Equally

Maintaining a Healthy Back ---> Balanced Muscle Development

I diagrammed and understood as

Maintaining a Healthy Back ---> Balanced Muscle Development AND Proper Alignment ---> Muscles Opposite Sides Pull Equally

so diagramming it on paper with the split and I believed I could somehow infer from my mistaken chaining that Muscles Opposite Sides Pull Equally and Balanced Muscle Development. When in actuality because Maintaining a Healthy Back was determined to be Sufficient for Proper Alignment so its not the case that its a AND relationship that joins the two parts together.

Edit: I forgot to ask that when I know its not all that great to rely too heavily on Lawgic but in trying to see how these properly link up say we used your example with Proper Alignment --> Balanced Muscle Development in linking up the original argument

Premises

Proper Alignment ----> Muscles Opposite Sides Pull Equally

Sub Conclusion

Maintaining a Healthy Back ----> Balanced Muscle Development

Conclusion

Maintaining a Healthy Back ---> Exercise Muscles on Opposite Sides Equally

So if we had identified that relationship between the Premises and the Sub Conclusion wouldn't there be many other ways we could possibly map it out that still retains the Sufficiency and Necessity Relationship of the Premises and Sub Conclusion but mean completely different things when put together? Like for example...

Version #1

Maintaining a Healthy Back --> Proper Alignment --> Balanced Muscle Development --> Muscles Opposite Sides Pull Equally

OR

Version #2

Proper Alignment --> Muscles Opposite Sides Pull Equally --> Maintaining a Healthy Back --> Balanced Muscle Development

I am kinda leaning toward Version #2 being wrong because the connection between Proper Alignment and Balanced Muscle development while it can be inferred from the chain that Proper Alignment --> Balanced Muscle Development it is connected in a more indirect way and that in Version #2 it isn't really connecting via Proper Alignment --> Balanced Muscle as that is only inferred and instead the Premises and Sub Conclusion are connected through Muscles Opposite Sides Pull Equally --> Maintaining a Healthy Back which wouldn't be correct.

i love it when JY talks nerdy to me

Is there a difference between what one BELIEVES to be the actual consequences vs. what in REALITY the actual consequences are? Aren't we told that one's beliefs have no bearing on telling us what is true or not in reality so I am kinda confused on whether the author's belief can be counted as an actual consequence.

For B dont we only know what the author speculates/believes to be the actual consequences if they gov didnt knock it down?

@drbrown2259 Ah i see thank you so much for the clarification. I just thought that because it was A --> B AND C that it requires that both the Necessary Conditions (B and C) be negated to get /A.

Awesome! Congrats

@eugenewrotethis726 Thank you so much and rearranging the sentence was something that definitely didn't think of!

A bit confusing because I chose E because I was not provided any results of the participants in the 1st group. In my opinion, seems kinda a big assumption to say that just because Group 1 underperformed compared to Group 2 at the 1-month mark that they will not perform better than Group 2 at the 1-year mark. Then read the Question Stem again and it says "some support" so I guess just showing the results of Group 2 at the 1-year mark constitutes "SOME" support.

Slow down! At least that is what helped for me. It got so frustrating to the point where I simply had to keep on reminding me to slow down and actually take my time by writing out my reasons for why I am picking or not picking an answer choice. I found that once I done this, while I may only get through only a handful of questions a day, my understanding from actually writing out my reasoning for each answer choice allowed me to better evaluate my reasoning and make any necessary adjustments to it when watching the videos. Getting the answer right is maybe one thing but I don't think it will help you at all in the long run if you are not getting the answer right with correct reasoning.

Congrats! Seeing these posts really gives me hope and also I am so glad that we have such a supportive community here!

I reviewed it and saw that just because you can be eligible to vote doesn't mean that you actually go out and vote.

this is GOLD thank you!

Wouldnt this also be considered a Flase DIchotomy? Because there is not much of clear binary cut between "rational argument" and "non rational appeal to emotion"?

so does "and" and "some" mean the same thing?

It seems like the author is only looking at one specific point in chemistry while overlooking other parts of its life like the middle or present. It describes the origin (beginnings) of chemistry as blemished which I took it to be pretty crappy. Then I asked myself "how do you know if something is crappy?" and "is looking at only a specific point instead of the entire lifetime of something really fair when assessing it for scientific value?".

To the first I answered by saying that you dont know if something is blemished if you dont have something else to compare it to. Here being chemistry's current theories. To the second I said that it definitely wasn't fair to assess something by only looking at one point. I dont even know how the hell I ended up at B. My reasoning is so messed up that I think its just luck at this point.

When the argument says "formal instruction is often a part of good musical education" doesn't it leave open the possibility that it isnt because it isn't definitive?

@akikookmt881 And that was one of my major problems that I had with Blueprint. It seemed like they took way too long to get to the actual point across when with 7sage its just direct as can be.

Also I found that when I was freaking out over trying to score high on the LSAT...the constant lame jokes and attempts at humor just ended pissing me off more than helping. But also thank you so much Notmyname for doing this!

Why is "it is absurd" not diagrammed as a NOT to a conditional statement? #help
