I overthought it because of the word "order". Music is present in an order. an Order mean particular path. So this is temporal. A painting lacks a particular path. So its not temporal. Thus the essential distinction is present. Even if there are paths in a painting, they are not presented in ORDER(particular). So the arugment supports conc. I chose D, it must be that Reading is simply a wrong way to categorize viewing paintings. Why is this wrong ?

Ive done so many lawgic qs and conditionals, but for some reason the SOME language in the ACs makes it so tedious to find the matches

The stimulus was very easy to map out:

Train -> howl

wash -sometimes-> train

-----------

wash -sometimes-> howl

So I go to the ACs confidently to just find something with this structure, and then I have mapped out 3 of the ACs( I can cancel out too immediately, the one involving MOST and three SOMETIMES) and then I find none of them match the structure. I clearly misread some. And then 5minutes have gone by.

I ended up getting it right, but only after frantically swapping the SOME variables left and right until I found a structure that matched the above.

Is making a chain the only way faster?

I don't understand how I am supposed to know to look to put the SOME before all and then match the order of the chain to the stimulus. It almost seems arbitrary of which order I choose to put the lawgic, and thus the possibilities that the structure I choose doesn't match the ACs is so high.

@ChristopherTobin I see what you mean and I think this is a case vocab misalignment.

I see disobedience as not complying with orders, no matter the reason. Same with obedience.

But your viewpoint is valid too imo, it can be argued understanding precedes obedience. Like how you shouldnt punish an exchange student who doesnt speak english for not being able to read MEN / WOMEN on the bathroom sign. But you should punish them if they can read it and thus willingly disobedient

B is def the best of all the others since the others have 0 support. But I still cancelled B out and got it wrong because I thought it was just one resource(the other elements) that in total would allow the economy to continue. So its the combination of all the other elements that would allow infiinte growth, not just human resources

@CaseyLiu This pissed me off too, lawgic told us REGISTER should be on the left and the required condtionals on the right

@TaylorRoseWals Exactly...this seems like an obvious bait AC. The stem never said The ONLY law of the city regarding contributions... I recall seeing other MBT questions literally trying to trick you with this same gap. The other ACs are bad, but C seems 99% as bad.

i thought this was too easy, like a trap. I chose E, cause why would the archeologists be puzzled by a sudden appearence of abstract language if they thought it was much older? They would be think this is within expectations then. Also pictographs = pictographic symbols felt dubious. This is one of the questions that makes me pissed at these test writers
