For AC A, I negated it to say:

no matter what [regardless of] the public's opinion is on an issue affecting the public good, that public opinion [NEED NOT] to be acted on, even though the opinion may not be a knowledgeable one.

this seemed to break the argument. Can someone #help with the negations here?

I incorrectly chose A. Can someone #help clarify negations here.

I negated E to say :

"if the public feels that it does not benefit from the sculpture, this [DOES NOT SHOW] that the public does not in fact benefit from the sculpture."

this did not break the argument and I moved on. Should the correct negation have been?:

NOT[if the public feels that it does not benefit from the sculpture, this shows that the public does not in fact benefit from the sculpture] or, after distribution:

"if the public feels that it DOES benefit from the sculpture, this [DOES NOT] shows that the public DOES in fact benefit from the sculpture"

this negation seems to break the argument. Is that correct?

Where can I find more on error correction mechanism?

@jessicatattcopy

Is this both critique-debate and problem-analysis?

Reading the section - it's very difficult to tell what is part of the passage, and what is usage commentary

"But Weiner's opponents contend that his views betray a certain nostalgia for the idea of the 'noble savage.' "

The explanation says Weiner's view reflects noble-savage nostalgia. The text says his views betray noble-savage nostalgia.

What is the meaning here?

"The camera is not so at odds with Kayapo culture, it seems, that it transforms any Kayapo who uses it into a Westerner."

Isn't the bolded portion Weiner's whole argument? This conclusion threw me off

on 1.10.23 @lazar.steven-1-1

said that AC (B): Traffic laws applying to high-speed roadways should apply uniformly across the nation.

implies that ex. 75mph should apply for /level & /straight strches of roads.

Thank you!!

@lazar.steven-1-1

Thank you!

is "such" referring to high speed roadways?

@7SageTutor

I appreciate the Student's question & Tutor's response. I am still not understanding how the gap from high speed roadways to all such roadways is bridged or justified. (Maybe it's not).

I am more confused by the Tutor's statement that [one of] the reasoning[s] of the argument is not that "there is a speed limit of 75 miles per hour in Texas, therefore every other state should have a speed limit of 75 miles per hour." There is a "Since" before P2 which implies that (Conc.) - the uniform national standard is supported by the fact that (P2) - the actual average is 75mph on high speed roadways.

Before I looked at the answer choices, I loosely diagrammed: Because of (govt study results - P1) & (actual 75mph average - P2) ---> should be set

P1 & P2 refer to high-speed roadways while the conclusion refers to all such roadways (in the domain of level, straight stretches). I chose AC (B) because it was the only choice that bridged the assumption from high speed roadways to all such roadways as the Student mentioned.

I can concede the original explanation's point that "applying" in AC (B) assumes that 75mph is the actual traffic law in place. Though, this discussion confused me further & I'm looking for some clarity. Thank you.

@renmiyano I had the same question. I think we are assuming that just because the physician received an apology that she was owed an apology. To diagram:

same lie 2 diff -> (/both owed -> neither owed)

[we cannot replace the arrow with AND in the necessary condition, we take one claim out of the conjunctive and move to to sufficient like so:]

same lie 2 diff AND /both owed -> neither owed)

[contrapose: flip, negate, & turn the AND to an OR]

/neither owed --> /same lie 2 diff OR both owed

[for my simplification, /neither owed = someone owed]

someone owed --> /same lie 2 diff OR both owed

Is the sufficient condition triggered? Instinctually, I assumed because the physician received a sincere apology that they were owed one, but that is not explicitly stated. If the sufficient isn't fulfilled, then we can't guarantee the necessary condition that both are owed a sincere apology based off the facts given by the stimulus.

I think that's accurate. Please someone confirm or deny. Happy studying.

I chose E in attempts to deny the assumption of the geologists "earliest known traces of multicellular animal life."

What if worms existed 500 million years earlier than other multicellular animals? It sounds like E gives an explanation for why worms could have existed for example, 600+ million years prior, because "evidence of their earliest existence is scarce" (due to soft tissue).

Doesn't this weaken the conclusion that claims worms could not have left the tracks?

Was thinking this also. Thanks for the Q&A
