I like this lesson! Would be helpful to have them for each question type. Thanks!

@omdsyi96 this was new to me too! I can say:

"This drink is cold but too sweet."

That means that this drink is cold and too sweet.

It also means that some (at least one) cold drinks are too sweet, or the reverse, some drinks that are too sweet are cold.

I think about it as a Venn diagram. The overlap is the thing that has 2 qualities. The circles are the groups representing those qualities.

@Kevin Lin I find the explanations generally helpful (except when JY says "who would ever pick this" and moves on). As a suggestion in addition to monitoring the length of the videos, I would appreciate a direct comment on the "suggested timed test approach." Thanks!

@davidhicksj00 that was my prediction and why i fell for D!

@kwangleestuff519 2 and 3 are branches of the same tree! seem good but have one piece that's descriptively inaccurate!! so tricky

@camilob95398 this

@liliana40000 thank you, this was helpful! B says the names' meanings reflect the rituals but the text says rituals are when the names are given, not that they determine the meaning of the names

@imyena05 this is the logic im adopting i think, that the issue of A is in the intention- was the sonnet to recreate the atmosphere...? Even if that was the effect, we are not told that was his purpose.

Also, another comment made me realize that I should have read the question stem as "What exemplifies Cullen's own conception of his poetry"? I think that would have clarified POV. The critics are the ones that talk about recreating atmospheres. we dont know how Cullen felt about that.

@EmaKimoto gotcha! thanks for the response

@danielfogel6853 "But what if the marketing expenses of vaccines will also be lower? Then the marketing of vaccines may be just as profitable as the marketing of other products, potentially even more profitable."

I see what you are saying with if the costs are lower than usual, even with reduced revenue, it could be profitable, but we typically don't question premises, and we are told that marketing will be less profitable. That premise blocks the idea that expenses could be lower than revenue and vaccines may be just as profitable.

Related to your last paragraph, I think where i went wrong was in not distinguishing that development costs are separate from administration costs. If the last sentence of the stimulus had not used the word administered and instead said, "sales are likely to be lower since vaccines are one to one patient vs other drugs are many to one," I think I would have picked up on the distinction. The director is not claiming anything about administration costs. His point was that the lower administration ratio -> lower sales -> less profitable marketing -> the gov should subsidize costs. And we want to weaken the connection in bold, so regardless who pays for administration, those costs probably don't affect sales numbers to drive marketing profit down.

If anyone sees a flaw in my reasoning, please lmk!!

@teddykim1009 i think #2 translates to the same as #1. If you are only obligated to X, that means that if you have any obligation, it is X.

This also puts obligation in the SA.

@EmaKimoto did you try any new strategies since last week that helped get better? I’m in a similar situation and would love to hear what worked for you!

@raynap18 your 2 projects explanation helps!

my reasoning in BR:

RS> R

some RS (so some Reasonable beliefs) > neither /SE or /GOE

AHH if "some" are /SE and also /GOE, then "some" that are not one are also not the other

another way i eliminated D is that even if there was a third civilization that created the tombs first, it doesn't weaken the fact that Oromo could have influenced Swahili culture. It just says someone else did it first, not that Oromo and Swahili both learned from them instead of from each other.

how I came to understand it: so you want me to wear sunblock to prevent melanoma bc sunblock prevents sunburn… but what’s the relationship between sunburn and melanoma that would make that work?/ why does preventing sunburn help prevent melanoma? A says, actually we have no evidence of this relationship

Lesson learned: anther way to weaken is asking what if you haven’t made this information relevant to your conclusion?

In one of my most recent sections, I got 6 questions wrong. 5 of them were before question 11. Ironic!

missed key word "and argued that it was therefore inappropriate." i read over the therefore and thought of the two categories as separate from each other. But the argument is making one dependent on the other:

P: Infl-> Inapp.

P: /inf (Riley's unreliable)

C: /inf->/inapp

But we can't conclude anything about the NA from negating the SA, so both inflammatory and not inflammatory could be consistent with inappropriate. So wrong to conclude /NA.

I had issues with A because it hasn't been established that the damage caused by surfactant is proportional to the amount present. Even if A is true, wouldn't that other assumption be necessary for it to weaken the argument?

Very unsatisfying answer choice. It helped me to understand that the question is asking what the author probably thinks. If the author thinks that bc grape has a health benefits, it is the only fruit that has that effect, without evidence that the rest of the fruits don't have that effect, the author may be committing a flaw... But the point is that, flawed or not, the author is likely to think that no grape, no health benefits.

I got this one right on a misunderstanding of the stim so wanted to check my thinking. I thought, what if teeth coloration is affected by when the teeth were discarded rather than time of the animal's death? In that case, coloration couldn't be used to prove year round hunting which couldn't be use to support a not nomadic lifestyle. Is this interpretation of a premise allowed or is it questioning a premise?

this feels like an unfair question. I've gotten so many questions wrong for making extra assumptions that I thought the stimulus wouldn't support that obesity was the same as fat tissue, much less, any fat issue without specifying fat tissue in rodents. What if it works differently in humans? Lastly, "depends on angiogenesis" felt like really strong language since we don't know the causal mechanism. if anyone overcame these issues, please let me know your thought process!

Does the study plan take into account my 7Sage stats... like organizing curriculum based on my question type priorities?

I’m in the same situation! And it’s very frustrating. Personally, I miss questions during timed tests because of misreading a word or overlooking a specific detail. Would love any advice!
