@meepmeep You'll get better with practice! I really wasn't a fan of RRE questions but practice helps. I went from gettin 0/5 to 3/5 (not the best, but better), practice, practice, practice! Goodluck!

Explained to a toddler:

Imagine you’re building a tower with blocks.

The premises are the blocks at the bottom. The conclusion is the block on the top.

The premises are holding up the conclusion.

If you take away the premises, the conclusion falls down.

So when you’re trying to knock the tower over, you don’t hit the top block. You pull out the bottom blocks — the premises — and the conclusion falls all by itself.

👉 Take away the premises that are holding up the conclusion, so the conclusion can’t stand anymore.

No premises → no conclusion 🧱

Since I'm seeing lots of post regarding the confusion and I was also confused. I went directly to the explanation that better explained why answer choice D is correct, which is:

Answer choice D: People 65 or younger are no more likely to fall below government poverty standards than are people over 65.

No matter what the poverty rate for the younger group is, their malnutrition rate is lower. The rates are still flipped for the two groups. This doesn’t explain anything.

Hope this helps others!

Finally got them all right, this lesson was really helpful in regards to breaking down each quantifier set. The other lessons I found confusing but finally it was in this lesson that it truly clicked.

It was also good to refer back to refentials, constant reminders and call backs.

Premises don't have to be true to have a valid arguement. It was good to be able to recall that on 4!

@AngelaCJ This was super helpful! Thank you!
