Hmm. So we know that 1) the city's concertgoers don't like the current concert hall and 2) they don't want to tear it down.
From my understanding, D tells us that the city is probably going to get a new fancy concert hall, and so that would explain why they don't want to build another new one, and also it tells us that they're going to upcycle/repurpose the old concert hall into a public space, which would explain why they don't want to tear the old one down. I think the assumption that D makes is that it is more preferable to have one new concert hall and one new public space than to have two new concert halls.

There's one in PT49 S2 Q23. Anyone spotted any others?
I was struggling a whole lot with flaw questions too, so I got some tutoring from Jon, and he recommended I make an "error log" (I hope it's cool that I share this!).
A part of it was going through the "types of flaws" list from one of the lessons and coming up with my own examples for each one. In addition to that, going through the past exams, picking out the flaw questions, and recording them in a "log".
So for each flaw question, I categorized them, and then stuck them under their respective headings (e.g., attacking the source, part to whole, correlation-causation, etc.). The other headings include preptest number, section number, question number, answer choice, correct answer choice, and a screenshot of the actual question (which saved me a lot of time because I didn't have to flip back to the exam).
You know how JY is always saying "the wrong answer choices are correct answer choices for other questions"? That's what I stuck under "answer choice"...all the wrong answer choices that a question has. I did this to see how a type of flaw could be described.
So eventually I had this long list going...and the answer choices really do repeat themselves. Wrong and right answer choices.
I also attempted to categorize weaken questions in there too.
And of course, one must always identify the premise, conclusion, and major assumptions in an argument. And all that business about referential phrasing. Very important.
My brain is tired, and so I hope all that made sense. I know there's only a couple days to go, but I hope it kind of helps. Cheers :).
