I think sometimes it helps and saves time to just look at the conclusions

whoever is confused about B. Here is an example!

Chef A is extremely competent at cooking. Chef B is competent at cooking.

Can I conclude:

“Therefore, eating Chef B's food involves a highly undesirable risk”?

No.

wait weren't they supposed to be "highly competent"

The key is to find the main conclusion

You can eliminate C immediately. An assumption is unstated—it’s something the author relies on without explicitly saying it.

1st thought. "Nice this is the conclusion"... after reading the choices "wait so which one says its the conclusion"

idk how but I got 5/5

It hurts even more when the correct answer is the FIRST one I eliminate in my head 😭

@dannieliancynthia693 lmao

When you see:

“One possible explanation is X. Therefore, we should do something about X.” Look for the assumption:

X is actually an explanation in this case.

I get these questions right, but takes too long

I'm getting these questions correct and this is my approach(try). I read the full text and ask myself: What was the author trying to convince me of? then read the answers and you will find the one thats answering your question. Hope it will help

The lesson saying add the missing part was kinda misleading. Here A was already in the stimulus.

In short: Pick the answer that GUARANTEES the conclusion.

Explanation tab is way more helpful than the videos. First I answer the question, then I check my answer. Then I use explanation tab to understand all the answer choices (does not matter if I got it correct or wrong)

D and E are kinda giving same results

if there is "some" in the answer choice it can not weaken the arguments

this was too good to be true

@MaxMasucci Im not an expert but one thing that helps me first I find the conclusion and use the answers choices to see if they weaken ore strengthen the conclusion. Try to highlight the conclusion and just work with it . Thats what helps me to get the correct answers

On Strengthen and Weaken questions, your target is almost always the conclusion.

@ebanta The conclusion is the "possessiveness" hypothesis. Is that the truth?

When I see EXCEPT question I compare the answer choices when the question is kinda hard to understand

@HWalls2027 D is correct not B

the way I solved this was asking one question. "Why do people need to not use the electric zappers AND use insect-eating birds or insecticide sprays instead. D answers to this question perfectly. Others are missing something

at least they could put AI generated video to explain this
