Trap answer choice. I simply read D, picked it, and didn't even bother trying to examine E. My bad! Would have totally picked E if I had read it.

I think the sentence about the airplane is a red herring. It has nothing to do with the rest of the argument.

A is better than C because the original stimulus says there WILL be a positive side-effect (increased value). A says there WILL be a positive side-effect (being able to exercise again). C says there MIGHT be a positive side-effect by conceding the point "even if the cylinder head does not need replacement".

C would be the better option if the original stimulus said "the improvements MIGHT make the surrounding housing ... more valuable" instead of "the improvements WOULD make the surrounding housing ... more valuable."

Another thing: people in these comments saying it's a stretch to assume exercise is a positive thing are wild. Everyone knows exercise is good for you. Aside from that, the stimulus also says "would enable him to exercise REGULARLY ........... AGAIN," so he was obviously doing it before the injury, too. It's very clearly implied he views it as a positive. Exercise might not be the most enjoyable thing, just like having a job you go to regularly but might hate, but that does not strip the fact away from these two examples being positives for you.

Also, you're not pulling an engine for $175, even 40 years ago. Additionally, you don't need to pull an entire engine, like the engine block, to check if a cylinder head is cracked lmfao, even on boxer or w-type engines.

#suggestion This should also have an RRE tag on it.

I fell for C during the actual take. However, I think now that even Babson can't be said to even have an opinion on C at all. He only compares paying for an article to countries where tipping culture exists (and would make paying such a low fee negligable there by argument of relativity and association). He doesn't say people would be willing to pay for an article in places where tipping culture does not exist.

I just looked again. You can go to "Drills" and create a new Drill and then click "Customize" to bring up old questions. I actually really hate you can't tell the drill maker to present you with a randomization of already taken and incorrectly answered questions. That really sucks.

Nonetheless, under the filters, choose the "Number of Takes" filter and pick "Taken" and you can further refine it if you want to also choose questions under "Result" if you want them to be questions you answered incorrectly. You can also retake specific questions as well that you did during the lessons if you search them up and add them individually.

I know that on the classic version, you could via https://classic.7sage.com/account/ and clicking "Reset PrepTests/Drills." However, it seems they don't have that on the equivalent page anymore on this new version of 7Sage at https://7sage.com/users/settings

I also tried looking around on the Analytics and Practice pages. No dice.

I think J.Y. made the logic map of this too convoluted.

S = Sale

H = Highest price it would get on open market

CM = Citizens majority ownership (for at least a year)

if S --> H and CM

if ~H or ~CM --> ~S

We are only looking for an answer choice where a sale has happened despite necessary conditions being failed. We want to find an answer choice that has S and at least one condition, it not both, where said condition would necessitate a ~S (i.e. ~H, ~CM, or both)

E is the correct answer choice because it has S (will sell), and it has one of those two conditions I just spoke about

CM = "The government must place significant restrictions on who can purchase StateRail to ensure that citizens of Country F will gain majority ownership." So we have CM. If this answer choice is to violate the contitutional requirements, then it must have the other condition be ~H, not the highest price it would receive on the open market.

~H = "However, any such restrictions will reduce the price the government receives for StateRail." If this sale was on the open market, it would receive a higher price than it would now with the restrictions. The sale of this state-owned railway is being put in a situation where it would not receive the highest amount that such an entity would receive on the open market. It doesn't matter that there is the possibility that Country F might still sell it for the highest price it can receive (with restrictions). It will not get the highest price if the conditions were such that the same sale was happening on the open market (because of the restrictions). The implication is that the open market does not have those restrictions.

So the final sale in E looks like:

~H and CM --> S

When the original rule said it was strictly to be:

~H or ~CM --> ~S

Clearly a violation.

Confirm action

Are you sure?
