Hi all - anyone interesting in doing a virtual study group to prep for the January 2026 exam? Evening or weekend hours for ET (USA).

I chose A and the comments weren't helping me understand why I was wrong - especially in short order. Here's what helped me in the end: Our answer has to bolster the conclusion. The conclusion is luckily easier to identify: "We are not obliged to take their claim seriously [unless a condition]." So, even before I untangle the premises I know I can eliminate answers that don't directly address our conclusion, aka our obligation to take their claim seriously. Knocks out A, D, and E. Comparing B and C, I think you can get there quickly in 2 ways: 1) because you know we're not interested in what "most people" think (they could all be wrong anyway), and/or 2) "NO claims" is more definitive than "MOST people" so even if they were both right, we could go with the stronger one.
#help is this train of thought correct and applicable to other PSA questions, or did I get lucky and should not have dismissed other details so quickly?
And here's the join link through 11/27: https://discord.gg/rbmXdtTR See you there!
Here is a link good through 11/20! Sorry for those I missed, they expire in 7 days! Happy to have you all. https://discord.gg/rQFbMsv3
For those just joining, this is the link to the Discord - LMK if it doesn't work! https://discord.gg/KRFjwfKV
I was turned off by E because I thought it was too strong to suggest that one building being successful = all civic buildings' purpose. What if other qualities not mentioned here were also required? What if what was true for the one building was not true for the whole?
In any case, I still should have gotten this correct because the conclusion is about "the purpose of a civic building" and no other AC touched on that. Would you agree with that? (Instead I ran out of time looking for F, an AC that included both city center and purpose.)

FIRST STUDY GROUP is Wednesday, October 8th at 8pm ET / 7PM CST! Join us on discord (if you're new to discord, don't worry, you're not the only one!): https://discord.gg/R7sCPXmX?event=1423764183052451910
For all who are interested, the Discord group for January study group is here. I'll try to post a link to actual virtual study group once it is set up, for those who are not on discord: https://discord.gg/xyYHQaNw
Great! Looks like there's a lot of interest and I'm sure there will be others. Does anyone want to volunteer to be Discord leader? I am brand new to that platform. I can do the organizing from there, just don't know how to get us set up. Thanks in advance!
