If answer choice B said, "In many surveys, most people DO name high salary as the most desirable feature of a job" would this be a weakener? I understand why B is wrong but I want to be clear on exactly why it's wrong. It's pretending to attack the premise because it's trying to say the opposite of what the survey data is saying in the premise. This makes sense to me. But, by that reasoning wouldn't this make answer choice A in PT 114.2.12 a correct answer (since it's an except question)? I've linked that question below.

After running into 114.2.12 yesterday, I remembered this question from my wrong answer journal and felt I may have misunderstood J.Y. 's explanation. If someone could clarify this for me I would really appreciate it!

I enjoyed the SA fast track lesson. I've been studying for 6+ months now and gave this video a listen this evening and found it to be an insightful "refresher" I didn't know I needed. Would love to see a similar video for flaw questions !!

#Help The way I read the last sentence of the stimulus is that for there to be profits, the traffic congestion must decrease. For B to be correct we must be assuming traffic congestion has decreased, because the stimulus says profits WILL NOT increase UNLESS traffic congestion decreases. I don't see how you can interpret the negation for this statement and just tack it on at the end. I see how it's a better answer choice than the rest, but I don't understand how it is right. Is there something in the stimulus before the last sentence that indicates traffic congestion will decrease? Cost of living can increase, but profits CANNOT increase unless congestion decreases. Can someone clear this up for me?
