Does anyone have a method for organizing the information in the stimulus quickly? There's not much time to diagram and parsing the sentence structure can be difficult when the key words or phrases in the paragraph don't apply like in this question. I've been studying for a while and the adage of "practice makes perfect" doesn't seem to be the most efficient way when you've been studying for over a year...any help would be appreciated

How would C. weaken? If the census is how the population is measured, then the people who are moving into Weston that don't notify the post office or driver's license bureau would not be included on the census? I don't understand J.Y.'s logic here in explaining why C is wrong. Could an instructor please explain? If the argument was that "many people" is too ambiguous and therefore we cannot properly quantify how many people who moved in to Weston impacted the census results, then that would make sense. However, I do not understand why C. is wrong as it's presently explained. #help

I am shocked this is a 3 star question. Seldom = almost never or rarely. It does not completely eliminate the possibility of occurrence. I selected A in blind review and was a bit dejected when this was wrong. B. I thought was similar to E, but I see that because B did not make a comparison like E did. It was simply making a statement, which wouldn't weaken the argument.

Might tattoo the word EXCEPT on me before test day so I don't skip over it...

So a couple things.

1. I don't know how B. is a must be false. It says that if someone rents more than 10 or less than 10 but does not state a condition where someone just rents 10 videos and no more. I'm not certain how this would be any less plausible than saying that some people who are not members of the Frequent Viewers clubs can receive the special discount coupon.

2. In the same vein as B., Why can't C. have a condition where someone just watches 10 videos and then they are able to receive the special discount coupon at more than one location of VideoKing?

Q: I will presume that the main issue with this hypothetical is that it could be seen as straying too far away from the question stem. However, I would like for someone to entertain this question nonetheless to see if just renting 10 videos and no more or less would place a member in a different category than the two listed in the stimulus.

Separately, I'm not sure if this was covered, but it would be helpful to spend some time on the word "can" when discussing the potentiality of something vs. when there is a quality or circumstance that is definitely ascribed to a person or group. Discerning when to apply lawgic or not regarding the word "can" would be beneficial.

Can someone please help me understand how "will not" is the same is "unlikely"?

I was between A and E on the blind review and selected A because I thought "only if" didn't follow the same argument structure as the stimulus. I understood that E wasn't right, because E didn't provide x reasons for that wouldn't be more important than the top priority of ensuring innocent clients are found not guilty.

Stimuls: If few students come to school --> none of these does any good (teachers, text, and facilities)

A: Honesty and good knowledge of the product line are useful to a salesperson --> customer feels at ease

I see that if I were to do the contrapositive, I could arrive at a similar argument structure to the stimulus.

Is there a way to determine when best to use formal logic? I think I may have been too in my head for this question and confused myself a bit. #help, #feedback

I selected E. Could a tutor explain why C. is the correct answer choice? #feedback

I answered this wrong and I was about 1:22 over time. Ugh, I get that with practice my timing and fluency will improve, but this is somewhat discouraging. I got it right during blind review after mapping it out with lawgic. Idk I wish there was quicker way to recognize the conditional logic indicators/have a more intuitive grasp of formal logic

Does anyone else struggle with when to use the third factor analysis of a question? That the question suggests that "A" causes "B", when in reality it's "C"? I understand after watching the video that motivation was the key aspect of the passage and not productivity. However, I know this was only a 1 star question. So expect that for harder questions, it will be even harder to determine when to decide if an argument's reasoning is off because it does not consider something. If someone who's struggled with this can comment below to help me out that would be great.

I'm restarting 7 sage for the 3rd time after trying a private tutoring course. So I'm hoping this go around using a training schedule that is accomodating of my work-schedule, that I can improve my LR & RC abilities

When asking about the organization of the last paragraph, it's presumably a given to view the organization in context with the rest of the passage. I interpreted the question incorrectly and was solely focused on the organization of the last paragraph in isolation from the rest of the passage. I selected D as opposed to A because I thought that the last paragraph was introducing new information and therefore was introducing a new theory. I did not select A because D emphasized the introduction of new information when did not. May someone can explain in greater detail what makes D wrong? Is a hypothesis fundamentally different from a theory?

I thought that A was all encompassing of what the passage was about. When the passage asks what it is primarily concerned with assessing, is this asking about the conclusion or what the passage is about? I'm doing my best not to be too attached with my answer choices, but I spent a good amount time on the blind review (hours) and still selected the wrong answer choice. For whoever reads this, can they explain why A is not good answer choice and more over what the question is asking? Is it asking what the passage is about or what the author's concerns are regarding the information provided in the passage?
