@evb010724 Process of elimination is great for speeding up parallel flaw. For this question, there are some quick eliminations you can make.

(A) "Ralph says that, as an expert in biology, he knows that no marsupial lays eggs"

-- This is not the same as the first premise of the stimulus at all. Linda says that from her 'insider knowledge' as a scientist, she knows something about how scientists are. An equivalent for (A) would be Ralph, as an expert in biology, making an observation about experts in biology. Instead, he says something about marsupials. Don't read the rest. Skip.

(C) "Yuri says that, as a wine connoisseur, he knows that no wine aged in metal containers is..."

-- Same issue as A. The parallel would be if Yuri made an observation about wine connoisseurs. He does not. Skip.

(D) "Xi says that, as an experienced photographer, she knows that no color film produces images as sharp as the best black-and-white film.

-- Same issue. The parallel would be if Xi made an observation about experienced photographers. Skip.

This should make the first three really quick to eliminate. Then you look at (B) and (E) more closely. We know the first sentence/premise is a match, so now just look at the second. The stimulus says: Since most A are B, at least some C are not B.

(B)'s second sentence says: Since most A (fathers) are B (adults), at least some C (people who want kids to eat candy) are not B (children, AKA not adults).

-- This is a match! You pick it and can move on, or you can check (E) too.

(E)'s second sentence says: Since most A (corp execs) are B (honest), at least some C (people who like to pay taxes) are B (honest).

-- NOT a match. For it to be a match, it should say "some people who like to pay taxes are NOT honest people"

TLDR: To go quicker on parallel flaw, eliminate as many options as you can without reading the full answer choices.

Skipping BR on Accident

I keep accidentally skipping blind review and not being able to go back (which I fully acknowledge is 100% user error). Could there be a secondary pop-up or something when you hit "skip to results" that checks if you are sure before you accidentally skip BR forever?

Are you sure?
