Very sneaky. My brain just glided right over "unprofessional" and "acting professionally" for a whileee until I realized

Routinely

So, wait, if an argument has a sub-conclusion that exhibits a certain flaw, but then a main conclusion that exhibits a different flaw, are we to ignore the flaw in the SC and look for the answer choice that attacks the flaw of the MC?

Also, are we to handle the phrase "almost certainly" the same as "certainly"? It's such a high bar for both, so I assume that both would be going wayyy too far (90%+ vs 100% if I'm not mistaken), and that we would attack them similarly.

Ah yes. A level 1 difficulty to a level 5 curve breaker.

Silly rabbit, you confused a claim that under certain conditions a certain action should be taken with a claim that the action need not be taken in the absence of those conditions

Got it right b/c it def does what A describes. However, I want to know if anybody else spotted this assumption and went into the answer choices looking for it like I did ⬇️⬇️⬇️

That fewer fat calories = healthy dietary behavior.

Or are we supposed to just assume that a diet with fewer fat calories automatically means "healthful dietary behavior"?

Call me crazy, but does this seem sort of like a WSE question to anyone? Feels like it's playing around with the unstated premise/gap that Mozart did NOT get the fracture AFTER his death. So, our quasi-strengthening answer choice confirms this by attaching it to the premise at the end

Can we treat these similarly to MBT/MSS? Seems the same, except its structural now

@RamseyEaton Also this is prob the dumbest thing I've ever seen

answer choice D is literally just The Prestige. Spoiler alert btw

Wait so to clear the air around B before going forward, when someone says, "X is not a sufficient condition for Y," it's still possible that X is a sufficient condition AMONG OTHER THINGS? correct? So, X could logically still contribute to Y positively, just not on its own?

And as a result of this, A is right b/c it downright denies the relationship, whereas B still allows it to contribute?

Is it wrong to say that the flaw here is overgeneralization from a narrow subset? I.e., the author assumes that b/c this is happening in specific countries (subset), they are representative of other/all countries with respect to advertising?

Non-representative sample?

When did we say anything about installation/purchasing? Can we not assume it possible that they didn't pay for it (via grants? etc.?)

@DanK Love that. One thing I'm learning too is everybody's brain handles different questions differently. I recently did a drill set where there was a 5/5 difficulty and a 1/5 difficulty question, and I went minutes over on the 1/5, but was at target time for the 5/5 one. Something about the 5/5 one just immediately clicked in my brain, idk if it was structure, ACs, who knows.

E felt wayyyy too good to be true lol

@SwagOD Holy crap I immediately thought of Klay too when he said that. Maybe not the best example lol

A strengthen question? In this economy?

Okay, so is C a valid inference, except it's wrong b/c it doesn't prove our conclusion as well as B? My diagram looked like this: "Individual Freedom OR pursue the good life---> social integrity (---> rule of law). Looking at C, it fully conforms to this diagram, but B appears to talk directly about "individual freedom" from the conclusion. Does C only look good to me because my diagram is so wrong with the "or"? Or is it still possible, through correct logic, to use this diagram to make the case for B over C?

If it's my diagram/"or pursue good life" that's the issue, how are we expected to make that same judgment call of getting rid of "pursue good life" in real time? I'm really not seeing the field here for how we're supposed to come to that realization, given all of our prior lessons on chaining everything up.

Got it but does D not just confuse sufficient for necessary? Y'all are saying it turned into a biconditional, but I just took it to be that it was backwards

@Bruh Yeah, I'm really thinking the only difference b/w the two is the stem. Gonna treat them as such until proven otherwise

This one should be a 5

Got them all but took an eternity. Seems to be a recurring theme for me lol.
