In the explanation of AC A, it says

"Contrapositive: an increase in visitors is necessary (as well as sufficient) to increase revenues."

Is the as well as sufficient part referring to the argument's use of the number of visitors increasing as sufficient to ensure an increase in tax revenue?

If not, I don't understand how AC A is using this as both necessary and sufficient.

HOW is this part of A not Circular Reasoning:

Greeting one's coworkers must be a polite thing to do, because people who are considered polite always greet their coworkers.

I take this as: G->P, and then P->G, which is what the question stimulus does.

What am I missing here?

@JohnCarey yeah, but it goes from a poll about belief in the Mayor being guilty of ethics violations to a poll about good performance; I struggle taking these as the same poll, since the first is a "yes or no" answer, and the other is a "bad, not good, good, great one". I think there's too many assumptions required to make this the same poll.

What say you, Kevin Lin?

@Kevin_Lin Thank you, Kevin!

@B_Freeze2631 I get all that, but I'm still stuck on how it is an unreasonable assumption that Pat IS a member of the club.

What does the "Plausibility" tag on AC A signify?

@williamjchun98 as opposed to the list created by Cruel Cats.

@sfbunting1731 sounds like I wrote this comment myself! I wonder if LSAC would ever consider reviewing this question and removing it from the scoring matrix because of this exact issue. I could not find a right answer because of it.

Can the poll and the survey be considered the same thing here?

The overwhelming majority of the mass in the universe is composed of something else, no galaxies.

These spelling mistakes are becoming too common not to be confusing.

@julhatch I agree it's interesting, but I've never heard this claim from other companies. I wonder to what extent this is true or to what extent it appears in other questions.

Which question is this?

@cclarez61 with an explanation like this, I wonder what you're up to now!

@davidbear0169 wish there was a way to save comments, cause this is a great explanation

@pecanator gosh I hope

But HOW do we know that the conditional rule applies to ALL vacuum tubes when not ALL vacuums meet the sufficient condition to trigger the rule?

And I don't see how the final sentence applies to SEVT when they are a unique set with their own quirks: I understand the while superset / subset thing, but I think that tool makes it a little confusing here.

Why isn't Pat assumed to be a member of the club since the 1st sentence specifies who can receive the coupon?

Is it not a very very weak and reasonable assumption that only members can receive the coupon, since that's the domain being introduced?

The stimulus implies that a combination of two or more antibiotics currently on the market might be powerful enough to eliminate bacterial species X completely

How is this implied?

@MattStickles exactly! Those assumptions are dangerous!

@Kevin_Lin thanks for explaining! I get it now

@JustinWeich I see. Guess I was just giving too much thought to this. Thank you

"Failure" in D threw me off. It's almost as if it's imposing a Value judgement onto the answer. It would better stated as "the choice of the general public not to believe...".

Yes:

I'm really concerned about 7Sage's use of so many questions from random PT's. By using questions from the oldest to newest exams, they are reducing those tests we have to use later for full PT practice. Please consider pulling questions from a set range, say PT 120-130 instead of all tests.

E can be reasonably argued to mean the same thing as D.

I wish E had a better explanation as to why it's wrong.
