Scary that I can’t remember a time before AI overview 😭

My understanding of building the descriptive-to-prescriptive conclusion bridge.... There will often be a hidden major premise/minor conclusion that you can reveal through taking the contrapositive of one premise and connecting it to another premise. Make that hidden descriptive premise prescriptive and then there's your answer choice!

Does taking the answer choices as potentially supported versus being true really change the likelihood of picking the right answer?

So, let's say that E got the proportions right. Wouldn't it still be wrong since some and most could both mean all, so you cannot weigh one over the other?

@samacus44 This also had me puzzled. I think because it could be 0, you can't use minority since minority still implies at 0<

What would "not all dogs are not friendly mean?"

How can we assume that McG is less qualified?

So instead of a big circle and a small circle, would this be represented as just one circle?

The example sentences were not conditionals, right?

@PoemaMekhitarian My sense is that questions will be written so you have all the information you need to rule out the wrong answers without needing general information. However, I think general information is most useful for questions on dense topics that can seem intimidating without any background knowledge (e.g., econ, chem, etc) for quick reading comprehension.

In some of the questions, the indicator "can't" was also in the sentences. Does the implied "all" also take precedence over "can't"?

We got Cruella de Vil over here

Billy Shakespeare 😂

How should this be distinguished from "some people say" context?

@petvma Happy to hear that someone thinks this way too!! I'll wait for you to comment next time before I steal your comment 😂

Can we use statistics or general information to rule out arguments? It might be easier to call assumptions about how many cats or dogs are in the house arbitrary. But what about the assumption that there was not an earthquake? That seems less arbitrary, nevertheless still arbitrary.

I think Joe Exotic could find a lot of assumptions in this argument.
