Wow, this frustrates me because I took entirely way too long to answer this question and got it wrong both times! B is so obviously the correct answer.. right in my face.. SMFH.
So, for this type of question, when the question stem says "strengthen the reasoning of the argument," we are looking for the answer that strengthens the premise??
I get really excited when I get a really difficult question right on first take! :)
@BOBLOBLAW Right! I'm like.. what did she get the first three times?!
@iloveironman This is exactly how I thought! Which is why I didn't choose B. This is sooo frustrating and confusing.
I'm going to be 100% honest, I used chat GPT to help me understand this better Lol.. and it truly did help. I got it right in BR, wrong first attempt. I understood the stimulus, it's the AC's that were throwing me completely off.
Took me 12 minutes but got it right first try and correct on BR. Sigh
@iriswu84153 Okay, so it's good to know I am not the only one who thinks of the question like this. I always look at it like "Which one of these answer choices is the better conclusion for this stimulus?" .. I have found this to be extremely helpful.
I still don't understand how it's answer choice A. If 52% thought he was a good or excellent mayor before and after the survey, then why would these same people think his performance is poor as a Mayor??? I am extremely confused here. What am I not understanding?
The wording in answer choice A doesn't make sense to me... why didn't the percentage change? I don't feel like A explains the paradox.
Even when you get the answer right, do you guys still watch the explanation videos? I still do, just so it really, truly sticks. How are you all doing?
@moonydidit YESS, I think like this every day while I learn Lol. I'm just like, wow... how the hell are people answering these questions in less than 2 minutes?!
@armondmnats402 Yes, I completely agree. At first read, I had no idea wtf they were talking about, then I reread it two more times and highlighted the points made. The highlighting feature truly helped! When I tried to chain it out using conditional logic, it was confusing me, but summarizing the main points and tying it to the answer choice helped a ton. Plus, once I saw A and looked at how the other answer choices were so horribly wrong, I knew I picked the right answer.
I only got this wrong because I misinterpreted the question stem. I didn't realize we were searching for a must be false answer Lol, so yes, E makes perfect sense.
@JuanPabloBetancourtMora I thought the same too, I just assumed pat was a member, so I chose C. Now I understand why it's D. This was a difficult one.
I got it right, but definitely not under the time LOL. idc a win is a win. I was happy I chained it out well enough for me to understand why D is the correct answer.
@ANP Literalllllyyyyy
