I got 2/5 on the first try, and a 3/5 on the blind review. I won't lie, I fel a bit discouraged, but I'm still learning how to process everything, and I imagine that once I get better with modifiers and understanding the questions, I'll be able to improve.
The question that got me was #3, and I picked B in the initial viewing, and E in the blind review, and I was wrong both times, and now find that D is the correct answer. Can someone explain to me where I went wrong? In all fairness, E was a hail-mary kind of answer as I felt B was the correct one, but an someone explain further how D should have been my choice all along?
The questions with the double premise, while I still managed to find the premise and the conclusion. I did not find the second Premise within the conclusion.
@Hanifa So specific assumptions weaken, while general assumptions strengthen.
So what I understand is that the more reasonable the assumption, the weaker the argument, the more arbitrary the assumption, the stronger. I realize there are other factors, but I feel this is a good base to work with, then you follow-up with the same as the Tiger argument, the Mammal assumption and the aggressiveness assumption, where they are more likely to be true than false.
@BreannaMW Thank you very much, I appreciate it.
