What confused me, if it helps anyone, is I read “people have leisure when resources are plentiful” not realizing the “not when scarce” addition makes plentiful resources a necessary condition

“When resources are plentiful, people have leisure” is PR -> L

“People have leisure when resources are plentiful, not when scarce” means ppl have leisure only if PR

which would then be L -> PR

Still got it correct but perhaps would’ve been faster if my diagram made sense lol

@TeklaCo Thinking of it as a strengthen question would've helped a lot

one of my favorite things to do has become guessing the difficulty of a question by the number of comments in the discussion

Nice!!

@BoluwatiwiAlabi lmao I feel this every time I get on 7sage

These games are great played both!! Great for strengthening intuition with conditionals

@GavinSchuerch if this is your first pass through the curriculum trust that English may not feel so intuitive when you get to the LR curriculum cause I definitely just came back 😅

@Kevin_Lin Two words that come to mind are evince and dearth

@ratman23 It'll be like "98% of students get this right" okay then I'll just go cry ig

@Sunnieqw22 I don't think so. My reasoning for D was different (tutors correct me if I'm wrong), but regardless of the size, I feel like the text establishes that a major asteroid strike only kills organisms in or near the region. So whether the asteroid was not of equal size or there was no other asteroid, it still would not account for the dinosaurs presumably being located all over the world. E is the only choice that accounts for this

Completely off topic but the way 7sage breaks down sentences in the stimulus would be so helpful for learning languages and knowing how each part of a sentence modifies the meaning

I liked this video a lot, specifically her clear explanations and annotations of the questions + the notes

@PeachATL this^^

@DamianoVigneri I think of the "all" indicator as placing one circle inside the other. In order for everyone who is 21+ to be able to purchase alcohol, the 21+ circle must be inside the 'can purchase alcohol' circle. It doesn't work in reverse. If the 21+ is the superset, then only a subset of this population would be in the 'can purchase alcohol' bubble.

@rayanessafi It's my understanding that the Geologist's claim is "the scientists' challenge to the dominant view is refuted by the presence in petroleum of biomarkers."

geologist view: petroleum is formed from the fossilized remains of pants and animals (which would produce biomarkers)

scientist view: petroleum is formed from deep carbon deposits

The best way to weaken the geologist's argument is to find a source of biomarkers that is not fossils. Strains of bacteria deep in the Earth's crust is a plausible alternative explanation as to why biomarkers could be found in petroleum

@DestinyBoyles My understanding was that you have two rules, and Kumar arriving 17 minutes after the last ring falls outside the scope of those. I think of it like a language your computer can't process.

You know if that if someone was marked late, than they arrived 5+ minutes after the homeroom bell. You also know that if someone did not arrive 5+ minutes after the homeroom bell, than they were not marked late.

However, you were not given a rule for interpreting what happens when 5+ min late is the sufficient condition, so you have no information to make an inference. It's like your code throwing an error
