@hjr210400 Hi! I got every question in this section right and got 5/5 on the Drill. I also initially struggled with MP questions A LOT (it was really bad and very discouraging) and I did a couple of things that really helped me improve and subsequently helped me do well in this section:

1) Do more Main Point question drills. After your drill, use the "show analysis" feature for each question to identify the context, premises, and the conclusion. I also just got into the habit of using the "show analysis" feature when going through every section purely to drill the distinction between main point and non-main point into my head.

2) When I am stuck trying to decide which out of two statements could be the conclusion, I ask myself why should I believe this statement? The premises should provide evidence for the conclusion. So if one of the two statements I am stuck between is trying to support another statement I immediately know it is not the main conclusion.

3) Obviously there are certain indicators for conclusions like "but, then, thus, etc." But I've also come to realize (and this is not a hard and fast rule) that a lot of main points are framed as opinions, predictions, recommendations, or hypotheses.

I really hope this helps! It took me a very long time, constant drilling and practice to get the hang of it. I'm sure it will take you less time. You got this!!! :)

@NicoleIhens Hi! I was also really thrown off with the artwork + well-designed relationship at first, but figured it out so I hope I can help.

The last three conditional links are correct, but the first two (artwork and well-designed are not).

You wrote: artwork --> well-designed

In English this translates to - If the public space has artwork, then it is well-designed. You are suggesting that it is a requirement (necessary) for a public place that is well-designed to have artwork.

But the stimulus is not saying that it is a requirement. It says Most well-designed public places feature artwork. The Lawgic translation would be the following:

well-designed --m--> artwork

Keep in mind, the "most" arrow is not bi-directional (not reversible).

So while we can say that most well-designed public places feature artwork, we cannot say most public places featuring artwork are well designed.

In summary, I think where you went wrong was confusing the quantifier "most" for a conditional relationship. This usually happens to me when I focus too much on trying to create a conditional chain, and end up skipping over the specific language in the stimulus.

Luckily, the correct answer choices focused on this relationship:

well-designed --> comfortable --> spacious

Which is why you got the correct answer!

I hope this helped :)

If I go hunting for the answer and find the AC I will choose, is it still worth reading the other ACs under timed pressure? I got this question right but still read the other ACs to be sure even though I was 99.9% certain my answer was correct.
