When I think of "most" vs "many", I think of a scale from 0-100. "Most", implies more than half, or at least 51 out of 100. When we hear "many", it could mean 30 out of 100, or 49 out of 100, but it only becomes "most", when its strength pushes that number to above half. Not sure if this makes sense to others, but it's how I think about it.
Phenomenon is the catalyst event that brings about the question. Basically just the thing that the question is talking about.
I believe yes, in the sense that there can be two "correct" answers, but one answer is more "correct" than the other. In this specific example, we don't have enough context to decipher which is more correct.
that's what I thought too... especially in the class example, it clearly says "students", as in multiple. it has to be at least two.
I'm getting confused between "/" and crossing off the word/phrase when we negate something. Sometimes it seems like those two flip flop but I might just not be understanding what he's saying
Actually, I just figured it out... that would mean if it's not a holiday, it's August, which does not make sense.
For #2, could it also be H (crossed out) --> A? I'm trying to figure out if that means the same thing as the two correct answers he gave, but I might be misunderstanding.
If I'm understanding correctly, the quiz is more so focusing on the base question of which is the premise and which is the conclusion, so, while you're right that the premise is weak/could be disputed if evidence was put forth to contradict the store's competitors claim, out of the two sentences in the argument, that one is still considered the premise if you approach it from any of the three methods talked about in the previous video. You kind of have to assume the premise is true for it to "work"
I hear what you're saying - I don't believe those words/concepts are completely synonymous, only because I think of evidence as fact, whereas premises don't have to be factually true. The argument can still be sound and valid if the premise is false (as long as the premise relates to the conclusion), but if false evidence is submitted in support of an argument, that evidence is sort of invalidating the conclusion. I guess it also depends on your definition of evidence. Not sure if this makes sense but that's how I think about it.
If it helps, I'm not yet. Part of the reason is because I want to save the "clean" questions/exams for when they'll be most helpful, when I know more.
