Can someone share how they got the right answer without using conditional logic? Or if they found it more helpful not to draw out the logic?

Hi I’m having trouble joining. Can you post a new link please?

I'm interested

Thanks for sharing your journey! This was very helpful. Best of luck to you!

This stim provides a sampling flaw. It's trying to take survey results of what people think the outcome of an election will be and apply it to how voters will actually behave or react during the election.

You want to find the a/c that helps bolster this conclusion. That the survey results (specifically what voters think will happen) can be used to hypothesis how voters will behave (that they will support the party's defeat) in the upcoming cycle.

Also I'm realizing that the stim doesn't say that the insects are attracted to one specific pattern. Just that each thing has their own distinctive (characteristic) pattern. And each distinctive pattern from the reflection is how they sense the UV light.

So all we have to bolster that it is infact the UV light (nothing more nothing less) that attracts the insects.

That's a reasonable assumption to make if you think about it. People usually complain that they don't like drive to far places or greater distance under the (Reasonable and common ) assumption that it's a longer drive. it's makes it less likely that the higher % of traffic fatalities is from lack of basic driving skills, but just that they're on the road more.

Does this help?

I've read through the comments a bit and saw that some people felt that D is attacking the conclusion entirely.

After re-reading more closely, it actually isn't.

part of the premise is that the co2 levels were "surprisingly" low, meaning that those low levels were unusual.

Also given the premise, that algae absorbs co2 ( assumption that more algae lower co2 levels)

Another assumption that the author wants you to make is that there must've been a higher that normal amount of algae to explain why the small co2 were surprisingly.

The author makes the conclusion that since ferrous material was found in unusually high amounts in the atmosphere, that it must've caused the increase in algae leading to the super low co2 levels.

D weakens the argument bc its saying: there was no (great) increase (from the normal) in the shells left behind when there are lots of diatoms. So basically, there wasn't more shells than usual left behind.

The conclusion says that ferrous material not just increased but GREATLY increased algae pop.

D says there's actually not evidence of a great increase.

Sorry in advance if I didn't explain this correctly.

Hello, here to explain my thought process to reinforce it and to help anyone else!

Premise : monarch butterflys consume toxins that make them poisonous to their predators.

Premise 2: Viceroy butterfly, which do not consume the same milkweed plant, look very similar to monarch butterfly.

Conclusion: the reason why viceroy butterfly are rarely preyed on is bc it looks very similar to monarchs.

Assumptions made by author:

1. there isn't an alt explanation for why viceroy butterfly are rarely preyed upon

2. that viceroy butterflys have the same predators as monarch butterfly.

3.That milkweed plant is the only way for Viceroy butterflys to ingest toxins that are poisonous to their predators.

The author is giving you a casual conclusion, the similarity in appearance is what causes their survival against predators.

All the other answer choices doesn't show why viceroy butterfly's appearance may not be the reason for their survival.

D- says hey actually, Viceroy is toxic to most predators. So they must have some gene that makes them toxic already. Provides an alt explanation for this .

Correct me if I'm wrong : )

I’m interested, if you all still have space. I’m averaging in the 160s.

I’m also interested!

What's the difference between an MSS Least vs an MSS Except question?

yeah, same. rereading this passage made me question what "barely meets" is even understood to mean

I'm down

I'm Interested!
