missed the. would agree

@PrayForMe-1 Imagine an argument of "We shouldn't build the new highway through the wetland, because it would destroy a rare ecosystem." And the responder says: "My opponent thinks we should never build any new roads at all, but that's absurd, our economy depends on infrastructure, so we should build the highway." That's misrepresentation.

Did anyone choose answer choice C because the buildings could have been designed to handle displacement pulses from repeated earthquakes, even if the people at the time didn't fully understand what was causing them?

13/14

14/14 I'm him

@Kevin_Lin Thank you!

10/14, 14/14 on BR. I'll take it lol

12/13 LETS GO. Time on passages needs to be quicker but that will come with practice ;)

Lol I read A and just chose it without looking at the other questions. Now I know

#critique I think this should have been a different passage from the one we learned in the previous lesson

Wow with the methods we learned I could definitely see how C would be right and D would be wrong!

Hi @Kevin_Lin! Great analysis. I do have a question about the RC method however. In the videos, it seems like you are also analyzing after every sentence as well. Are we supposed to do a very low-level analysis of every sentence as well or only once we have reached the end of the first paragraph?

@Arshavin To be honest I am very intuitively good with RRE questions but I think to myself "Ok why would congestion -> low fatal accidents" I then predict that "Ok it must be that drivers are going at high speeds" and answer choice D confirms my answer. Hope this helps!

Also I just make sure I really concentrate on what the stim means after reading than trying to focus on every individual word

Onto RC

9 QUESTIONS RIGHT IN A ROW LETS GO!!!!!!

Cost benefit analysis!

Oh well, the only question I got wrong in this section and I got the BR right. I'll take it as a win

CMON SON IT'S TOO EASY

IT's A CONCLUSION THEREFORE A CLAIM

WE'RE SO BACK BABY

3/5 on both regular and BR. Also way over time on. most. Definitely NA is something I need to work on

Wow. That took me insanely long (8 minutes) but going through in my head and fighting for the stimulus with each question contrpostived really helped.

With the others, the question could still stand but if E was that teachers could be persuaded then the whole argument falls apart because then the author's argument is non-sense from the get go.

Wow one of the first ones I got right on NA section w/o BR and it's RRE LMAO

@MRod In short, the argument not requiring an answer just doesn't make sense for me. SA questions and weakening questions I seem to be ok with but not sure with NA questions
