For AC ‘C’ isn’t the conclusion “some painters are dancers” rather than “some dancers are musicians”??

The ‘since’ indicates the premises (some painters are musicians and some musicians are dancers) which support the conclusion “ some painters are dancers” #Help #help

#help I got this question right, however while doing the BR, I couldn't definitively say that AC (B) was incorrect. What is preventing it from being diagrammed like;

LB -> JBP (Jenny’s Birthday Party)

and thus resulting in the correct answer?

#help I'm having trouble differentiating Most Strongly Supported and Strengthening questions. I think that MSS differs from strengthening questions as it has the word SUPPORTED in the stem rather than just SUPPORT. Any other ways to help differentiate them?

I understand why E is correct and recognize that it identifies the MAJOR flaw, however I am trying to eliminate AC (C) which states " too quickly generlizes from the sport at one level to the sport at a different level".

Isn't the author identifying acceptable behaviour exhibited at a professional level and generalizing this to also be acceptable at an unprofessional level (premise) ?#help#help

#help HELP! Why is AC 'A' not the most strongly supported? The passage says that "poppy petals FUNCTION to attract pollinating insects". Therefore, wouldn't A be more strongly supported than B given that I don't think it says anything about the effect nutrients have on the plants' petals?

I eliminated the correct AC too quickly; when I initially read ' babies of mothers who DID NOT eat nutritious diets' I immediately thought 'that has nothing to do with the argument whose conclusion and premises are about babies of mothers who DID eat nutritious meals'. It seemed that my training from previous lessons (to hone in on AC choices which specifically deal with the conclusion/premises instead of those which make assumptions) seemed to have kicked in. Suggestions on how to avoid this in the future (is it simply because we are not making valid arguments so there is more room for assumptions in the ACs?)

Was anyone able to sign up for the 21st? I am a first time test taker and am curious if those days are blocked for 'retakes' or special purposes.

As per the chart, I thought that a perfect argument had no assumptions (view the right-hand tip of the line where it says 'perfect, no assumptions). Yet JY has put the Sufficient ASSUMPTION on that tip of the line. Could someone explain why it is still labelled an "Assumption" even though there is no assumptions to be made at the very end of the line.

#help I think I understand that intuitively

No matter how distinctive her style may be, her subject matter is simply not varied enough” can be translated into Great Writers—>Varied Subject Matter.

However I’m confused about when to rely on intuition rather than logic, because if I were to use the no as the logical indicator then would the sentence would be translated into; Distinctive Style —> Subject Matter Varied.

I guess this does not capture the true meaning of the sentence, but I'm confused about how to recognize this going forward

#help

Is the placement of the word “not” within the sentence the only reason why we negate the conditional statement like in example (A) rather than example (B)? Or is there another reason I'm missing? :

(A) “Being intelligent does NOT imply that one is wise”

not (I → W)

vs.

(B)“Being intelligent implies that one is NOT wise”

I → /W

Confirm action

Are you sure?
