@WendellAdom Okay glad I am not the only one wondering this and seeing if anyone has an answer because I do not think this was ever discussed.
Did anyone else have a smaller chain and still got the correct answer. I mapped it out as sewage -> algae -> rich food source -> kill fish and still got the correct answer rather than doing the entire chain that he did.
@CamilleApril6 I am trying to figure this out too! I was thinking maybe it depends on the difficulty of the question but I am honestly not for sure.
@hjr210400 So I am doing it similar to how you are by reviewing the ones I get wrong and then writing them down; however, for the correct answers I only tend to write them down or review them only if I took a long time or struggled with the answering the question quickly. I agree that I don't want to be working on this for forever by writing everything down so I think at least for me only correct ones that I knew quickly and were fully able to understand I didn't write down or in-depth review.
@GordonGianadda Hoping for more tips as well! Timing and confidence I had too but then I tend to read the other choices fully. I hope that as we continue to drill and practice we just know immediately what the answer choice is without having to go through the other answers or focus on the verbal language.
@ChelsiSmith I totally agree with this. I am definitely moving faster on these questions than I was previously. Once you spot that conclusion I immediately start going through which answers match that.
So when going between C and E, I went off of deciding on the language between "at least one" and "most" and comparing it to "many" and since we normally would consider "many" as "some" which would be at least one, I thought that was a good way to narrow down the choices as "most" does not equate to "many". Just wondering if anyone else thought the same way and remembered this from the foundations lessons.
@AliaAli Good luck to you as well! I am starting the LR unit by hopefully tomorrow so maybe this will all click haha!
@AliaAli I feel the same way. I got 3/5 after BR and when I started the explanations it was stuff that has yet to be even covered and I have never heard of. Not sure how they decide to put these questions here but it is a little disappointing when you understand the foundations concepts and then get these questions wrong.
I got this question right, but took me about 7 minutes to do. Getting slightly concerned on the timing of this and how to really increase the speed. Not sure if it's just constant practice or at this point should we be doing these quickly.
For question 4, does adding onto the end of the end of the chain basically imply that the first sentence is the conclusion then?
#help
For question #3 I am confused on where the negation came from in the video explanation. In the answer from the text there is no negation and I got that correct. Just not understanding why we would negate the second clause.
I think I am just a little confused by #3 and #6 because we talked about in the video that if there were "connecting words" then it would be argument. But what if there are no connecting/indicating words to show that it would be a premise/conclusion. Are we just supposed to be on the lookout for indicator words to ensure that it is an argument.
@ambam I have felt the same on a few questions like we have seen them already. I think they moderately change the questions but it is for different question types. As someone who basically memorizes questions I get tripped up lol
