This was a hard question and I overthought it way too much. it was simply looking for the two things that aren't related/connected. I thought there was a chronological component-- which had the order reversed? Nope

Manufacturers wouldn't offer a warranty on a junk pan because they'd spend way too much $$ processing all the refunds (ASSUMING people would demand warranty refunds)..... so if a pan has a warranty, it must be good.

I got this wrong because I can't comprehend spending 100 minutes prepping one dinner (20% of a work week, or 1 weeknight) let alone menus, courses, etc.

We are having macaroni and cheese, take it or leave it.

I agree with you. This question brings a lot of personal assumptions to the table, plus social assumptions from 22 years ago.

Womens' fulltime salaries = 80% of mens' fulltime salaries.

But ALL womens' average salary = 65% of mens' average salaries.

How?

AC D: More women work part time and make less. This explains the issue.

The language on this was confusing.

Migraines = physical not mental.

But migraine patients have worse anxiety.

What's the discrepancy? If migraines are physical, why do migraine patients have worse anxiety?

AC A: Relatives are irrelevant.

AC B: Migraines happen under stress? That makes it sound like the migraines aren't physical.

AC C: People with Worse Anxiety are more likely to be Migraine Patients? Perfect.

AC D: Why do we care about publicization of studies?

AC E: Most migraine patients stay until cured, regardless of cau

AC B: Yes, this is necessary. In other words, who says we can't replace iron ore with magical ore from asteroids? Or cool down lava from the earth's core and make cars out of that? And on and on and on. If we can keep finding non-renewable substitutes to avoid doing without or relying on renewables, then the argument falls apart.

AC B: Necessary. If the terraces on Dooney Co farms were built for reasons other than combating soil erosion, the argument falls apart.

I didn't use Lawgic on this.

I just realized: the Press Agent didn't tell each of them everything. But maybe he still told each of them the exact same amount.

Psychologist: "The best way to Y (UnderstandPeople) is through X (deep empathy/graspMotivations) "

Authory: "Oh really? If so, then you can't Y at all, because X is impossible. But obviously we can Y. So you're wrong."

They never said X was the only way to Y. Just that it was the best way to Y.

AC D is attacking a premise-- that's a no no.

The author can say it's like Reading, if he so chooses.

We can't say that's wrong. We can only attack whether or not it supports the conclusion.

Maybe we do "read" paintings. That doesn't mean "reading" is non-temporal.

As E says-- just because we read it in no particular order, doesn't mean that we don't read it at all. (the implication being: reading takes time.)

OthersExposedToRiskBySomePeople -> FeesJustifiedForRiskCreators

AC A: wrong because we don't know which people are causing the problem.

AC B: right because we're penalizing the correct culprits.

AC C: wrong because we're not concerned with deterring people from creating risk; we're concerned with penalizing them for creating risk.

AC D: wrong for same reason as C.

AC E: irrelevant.

Copernicus and Ptolemy had same consistency of evidence.

Copernicus theory was simpler.

Copernicus theory was superior.

Why?

When all else is consistent.... Simpler -> Superior.

/Superior -> /Simpler

AKA

Inferior -> MoreComplex

B is wrong first and foremost because we're not talking about what unjust governments do. We're only concerned with what just governments do.

I guess what I was getting at is that AC A is missing a layer. AC D has more content, matching the stimulus better due to form, not due to subjectivity of attributes.

The subjective relativity of attributes is irrelevant to logic IMO.

I disagree with JY that the subjectivity of the Attributes makes the difference.

The grammatical structure of D is more similar to the Stimulus. Answer choice D retains the possessive qualifiers and the additional element.

Mexico City's air's thinness. Panama City's air's thinness. Lou's tree's ring count. Theresa's tree's ring count. These contain one more element than Henrietta's wisdom and Daughter's wisdom.

Stimulus:

As X increases, Y increases. the X of MC is higher than X of PC, so the Y of MC is higher than the Y of PC.

AC A:

As X increases, Y increases. H is older than D, so H is more Y than D.

AC D:

As X increases, Y increases. The X of LT is higher than the X of TT, so the Y of LT is higher than the Y of TT.

Hi all,

Helpful insight would be appreciated; I am practicing my "translating" my Sufficient & Necessary conditional statements.

"Only" is a "group 2" operator that introduces the necessary condition, but I'm finding it difficult to figure out why this matters in certain simplistic contexts.

Consider the statement: "Only cats meow."

M --> C

/C --> /M

But with "only" sentences, it seems like the reverse logical operation is also true.

C --> M

/M --> /C

Am I simplifying it too much? In other words, is this logical reasoning or rule only relevant when ideas are more complex?

Thanks,
