I'm still a little confused on why B is correct because while I can understand how it impacts the assumptions laid out in Kevin's video, "desire to please" is ultra-specific. This, to me, seems to be an assumption in and of itself (who said any flowers were ever sent out of a desire to please? How do we know the roses weren't sent out of a desire to screw with Drew?).

What was your PT diagnostic? Did you never touch this test in your life and start off in the 170s?

I was able to get this one right on a second pass blind review because I noticed an A --> B --> C pattern in the original argument and then in the correct answer choice. Is this incorrect and I just got lucky?

After having watched the video, this is a relatively straightforward question. The problem I have, is there was a lot of jumping around and re-organizing the premises and conclusion for the stimulus and answer choice D. I don't really know how to do that (at least correctly). Any advice?

@MikeRose Yes, this was difficult for me because the answer explanations show there is an [A --> B /B --> /A] relationship, but in the video, the tutor uses a completely different logical structure. Further, it is not even explained how you're supposed to know that the mention of commonality from the previous sentence is intertwined with the conclusion. I thought the conclusion was [If organism --> survival advantage].

For #5, I did the set A and set B diagram for it, but I have a quick question about it: Is the reason why safety concerns do not force unscheduled stops because there are other reasons on their own that could cause an unscheduled stop, or other reasons IN ADDITION (i.e. multiple things wrong at once) to the safety concerns that force the unscheduled stop?

The reason why I had A crossed out (and got this question wrong on first pass and blind review) is because I thought it was describing the flaw of the argument, but now I am realizing that perhaps assumption questions are just a special way of saying "Identify the flaw." How might I avoid this mistake in the future?

This question was particularly hard for me because even though I feel like I got the gist of what a good counterargument would be (essentially along the lines of it is not pointless if the kids are still picking up skills that can be used), it felt like all the answers said some version of that. My initial answer was D, but then on blind review, I chose A. Any tips on how to navigate a question like this?

I tripped up on #5. Is the conclusion saying that the store was selling t-shirts for less than the store's own prices?

For some reason, C's wording is incredibly confusing and appears disjointed to me. So, just to make sure I am interpreting it correctly, C is essentially saying, "The steel idea is an example of where the economist's argument CAN work, but that does not mean the economist's argument will apply in all cases." Does this sound right?

@Haleh so if I understand correctly, C is correct because it states both conditions as being sufficient to produce the desired outcome whereas A is wrong because it only treats those conditions as 2 of many other requirements? Or do I have the logic flipped?

@jujujube my feeling was that Walt could be the owner/operator of the fast pass so he got one for free
