@gurbytown thanks for breaking this down, I missed the "must" on first reading so I had my sufficient and necessary condition transposed.
Is it just me or the video explaining why the wrong answers were wrong ended abruptly without speaking about AC C, D, E?
I wonder how the question levels are determined, this required more thinking than the level suggests.
@BoluwatiwiAlabi I think what you're describing was used in the PSA question types.
The amount of time I spent on this, I was like "I'm leaving here with something" at the end of the day. I gave up on time and just decided to really understand what the sentences were doing.
Probably should have eliminated AC A and D quicker since it's speaking about a subset of "consumers" and not the superset of consumers.
After a blood bath of wrong answers in the WSE question types, I am now beginning to regain confidence that I can do this.
I think I get this question type for the most part, perhaps because I do well at finding the conclusion in an argument.
I got this in BR but damn, I have to understand the question stem properly before going hunting for the answer. I eliminated the correct answer on first read but after slowing down my thoughts in BR I saw how C was right.
Almost fell for AC "C," then I saw it was a comparative claim. I am getting better at spotting why these wrong answers are wrong.
I absolutely did not understand this question and didn't pick an answer, it's better to not attempt a question I don't understand.
Read in between the lines
Scientific fraud - validated
Falsified data in his doctoral thesis - no evidence that he had.
The rule should focus on "scientific fraud" specifically since this finding was validated by his University.
@SriDaggumati In addition, the goal is not to weaken or strengthen the "conclusion," it's to undermine the support of the argument.
Is is just me or there should be a comma between "recreation" and "score" in this sentence?
"People with perfect pitch are more likely than others to make sure that their children receive musical training."
This was the deciding factor for me in choosing AC "A." The stimulus did not discuss a parent-child relationship just that people who had perfect pitch were related to someone else who had it.
@meepmorp I think with these question types, it won't serve you best if you try to pick holes in the ACs. All ACs are equally "true" but we have to pick the one that is more acceptable to explain the phenomenon.
@KeiraSinger same here, these are the kind of questions I know I will have to skip and come back to save my time.
