@BOBLOBLAW If im not, mistaken theres a search bar that allows you to search for keywords on the exam if you're looking for something specific

I know this is extremely late, but aesthetics was only a point of priority to the modernists, and it was revealed that functionality and practicality were prioritized by later architects. So we cant choose an AC that reflects aesthetics as the main relationship being compared, since the movement was abandoned due to issues with accuracy and practicality in the engineering of buildings over aesthetics.

@WilltheFifth Literally my issue with this question. I was down to A and D and solely chose D because of JYs lesson on how main point answers should reflect the authors conclusion. AC A also states the authors main conclusion in a more broad way in the first part of the sentence, and thats what made me retract.

@JacobFaubion D is the only answer that makes the conclusion true (planting trees is speeding up global warming).

If D is false, then we can say that planting trees is slowing down global warming (helping it), since we would assume its not replacing something that is more effective (native grass)

Both together actually slow down global warming since both are still effective, one is just more effective than the other (grass). By assuming D we give a scenario that allows the conclusion to be true.

@bro I think A is preying on those (like myself) who didn't register a key modifier in the premise.

"each of the wild large mammals that seemed worth domesticating" lets us know that "each" is not required in the argument in the way that A is framing it (every mammal). Instead, the premise frames "each" as:

each mammal that seemed worth domesticating.

It is implied that people didn't try to domesticate everything, just everything that seemed worth it.

@MMAceAttorney177 Thats only because the answer choice that is correct pertains to P1. But if the correct answer used to P2 to bridge the gap and not P1 then you'd get away with doing the opposite.

So basically, the answer we need here is one that gives us a rule or scenario, that allows us to make the conclusion that Ms. S should pay, true.

The reason D is wrong:

Us knowing that Ms. S was aware doesn't actually lead us to believe that the conclusion can be made (if she knew, she must pay).

So what if she knew? Why does that mean she should pay?? Theres no rule saying that just because she was aware that she should pay!

If we can establish a rule that would make it that "anyone who is aware of the damage they may cause, should pay" then we can assume the conclusion (If Ms. S knew, she should pay).

IF THIS THE RULE (OR ANSWER A) WAS ALREADY STATED IN THE STIMULUS, then we would assume D to be the correct answer.

BUT, since its not, the bridge to the gap is A, a rule allowing us to assume that her conclusion has any merit.

The conclusion is that "Ms. Sandstrom should pay for this damage if...she could have reasonably expected that the column would lead people to damage the Mendel's farm"

Why should Ms. S pay for damages?

Not solely because she knew they would cause damage. Who said thats even relevant??

Because "One should pay for any damage that one's action leads other people to cause if one could have reasonably expected that the action would lead other people to cause damage."

***ESTABLISHING THIS PRINCIPLE ALLOW US TO LATER ASSUME D.

We have all been skipping one step ahead.

@Arsalan06 There is no real way to infer that some pilots enjoy flying. Since there is also the chance that no pilots enjoy flying. Maybe everyone except pilots enjoys flying.

What I've been taking away from these is that if we can't say for sure that something is valid, its probably invalid. And since this stimulus implies that there is a chance that pilots may not fall into the group (the word most), then we cant say that its valid. Most means that some don't, which could include all pilots.

Because its using SOME and MOST, we cant say for sure that any one product is exported to Brazil.

For all we know, nuts as a whole are apart of the few products NOT exported to Brazil. Or maybe its everything but almonds.

Only if the stim said ALL products from Cali are exported, can we safely assume that SOME almonds are exported to Brazil.

@KikeHernándezLuvr You know, Mr. Fat cat predicted all this

When you ask yourself which statement is the statement the author wants you to believe, it becomes tough to distinguish whether or not the answer is A or D. However, I think the factors that make the answer obviously A is that its serves as a statement that offers no support for anything in the stimulus. Whereas D is placed as a support that serves A. If you place the two next to each other, you can see which one serves which as a support or conclusion. Same goes for C.
