In regard to question C, the author says that "sales of hats, sunglasses, and sunscreens are likely to skyrocket, all adding to the nation's total expenditures." I interpreted this as not being for certain but merely a realistic potential outcome.

Since it wasn't established as a fact (that a weakened ozone layer adds to prosperity [in context to economists definition of 'prosperity']), I thought it was a reach for the answer choice to label it as "true prosperity".

Clearly I was wrong, does anyone have any advice on how to approach the analysis of these questions and when you've over-analyzed or analyzed wrong?

If someone could walk me through why my framework in this particular question was ineffective I would be very appreciative!

@ChadC "spit approach" is crazy lol

@JosephAmoAppiah Fallacy of equivocation but let me help you since you also seem to struggle with the concept of "most" and "many".

'Most' is a proportion, not a quantity claim. ‘Many’ is a quantity judgment. 77% of one apple is most of the apple, but it is not many apples. So ‘most’ does not imply ‘many.

Does it make sense now? :)

I assume on test day we don't actually write down our low-res summary. Or am I mistaken?

"the question asks" 👹 "which one of the following"😊...

@MALCOLMMACINNIS my go to example of circular reasoning is religious defense argumentation. "God is real/ Jesus is.. because the Bible says so" lol

@ColinErickson AP stands for Argument Part, which is mentioned in the summary at the beginning of the text...

@Sunday_Blues13 I have no family or experience with law enforcement but I immediately came up with the exact two assumptions the text provided.

@mariafreese not necessarily, what if there are only four individual aliens in the universe, and most of them are abducting humans. Is three of four aliens many?

what the helly?

for the example provided in the lecture video, could I also say:

/N -> /O and /M

or

/O -> /N and /M

I understand the concept but I was curious as to whether these would be considered incorrect?

Ah yes, Modus Ponens and Modus Tollens.

once I have all the indicators memorized its pretty straight forward.

3/3, I'm cooking but I still feel like ima flop this test lol.

chat am I cooked?
