I'm having trouble re-translating 5 from Lawgic back into English. Is it "some pets who fantasize about attacking their owners live in a loving home"? Or "some who fantasize about attacking their owners live in a loving home"?
@Joel Keenan The reason I brought up that idea is due to the fact that, with non-premise statements, a "Given this" ahead of them will make the statement sound odd or wonky; I've found that premise statements often have a seamless transition when adding that preceding phrase.
@Joel Keenan Since there is a "It is a given", imagine there being an "Given this" in front of the second sentence; it makes it clearer that the relationship is context towards a conclusion
It is a given that to be an intriguing person, one must be able to inspire the perpetual curiosity of others. Given this, Constantly broadening one's abilities and extending one's intellectual reach will enable one to inspire that curiosity.
@cckiener142 This is one of those areas where you would have to make a reasonable assumption; looking at the other possible answers, the correct answer is the one that most closely resembles the conclusion you found within the stimulus. I agree with you, and did pause for a bit to ask myself "is insincere truely 'not sincere'?", but, at the end of the day, it was closest to what was said.
@Mycatwenttoclawschool that's how I felt with the skill builder questions, which I did horrendously on; just keep trying the questions, if you need to, go back and re-read the explanations for each case, and (I know they advised against this), do your best to keep the key words to memory (a.k.a., "only if" being a group 2)
For question 1, would it not be easier to take the contrapositive? So you can simply see the relationships connected to /YT (a.k.a /YT->/F->/J)
Confused at first, but once you see the visual diagram for Elias, it makes sense; arriving 5 minutes after is necessary for being cited as late, but not sufficient (you don't know for sure they were cited just because they showed up 5 minutes after).
Learning to prioritize the form rather than the content in your brain is the tricky part
Confused as to why "black holes" is not a predicate-object; I though the correct answer was "physicists were puzzled by black holes"
18/25, one month until test day, time to work!
@Jarry Took me double the suggested time, so you're not alone!
