Thank you for your detailed explanation. It helped me tremendously.
Hello everyone,
I am currently looking for a study partner, I am going through the core curriculum again to gain a more thorough understanding of the sections and concepts. If you are a person that has been scoring high on practice tests and have mastered the concepts behind the questions, and would not mind helping me, please send me a message. Thank you!
Hey,
What answer choice D is saying is if the tax reduction package is going to greatly inconvenience parents, then it will not be adopted. Inconvenience Parents → Not Adopt
That is the sufficient assumption (missing premise) that we are being asked by the question stem to identify, so that when added back into the argument, the conclusion follows logically from the premises.
Premise : Adopt → No Story Time → Inconvenience Parents (this is valid argument form 3)
Parents are not Inconvenienced → Story Time → Tax Package Not Adopted
When we run the contrapositive back we can see that we can use either Don't inconvenience parents, or that there is story time, or Parents are not inconvenience → Story to insert as the missing premise so that our argument is valid (meaning with this new added premise in addition with the other premise the argument is complete).
Conclusion: Tax Package will not be adopted
Hi! @rdhallan331
