What helped me eliminate (B) at first is that it doesn't even describe a flaw, really.

If you say the absence of something is sufficient for an outcome, then you're saying that thing is necessary for the opposite outcome. (/A → /B then B → A).

Then I went back and validated that (B) was wrong because it's possible that there were times when the government did not fall and there were vicious rulers.

* Eliminate AC's that don't address "real" (the discrepancy)

* AC's A and E are given by the stimulus (using the biconditional)

* B is the only one that adds to the argument

I had no idea what economy of expression meant -- but it was the only answer choice (after eliminating the obvious ones like A and B) that mentioned anything remotely close to "preferring" one thing over the other (it actually says the word). That's the gap in the argument. Why do we prefer the side of oral tradition listed in the premises?

I'm currently PT'ing in the low 170's. Got a 170 in April after PT'ing in the high 160s. Like many, I really want to try and push above 175. I work full time. Should I take June, August, or October? Part of me feels like a month is not enough to comfortably PT in the high 170's. How long did it take you to PT from low 170's to high 170's?

Don't know if this thinking is right but it got me to (D) twice (first attempt and BR)...

Few Police dramas are popular = most Police dramas are not popular.

So we have New shows → Police dramas –most→ not popular

With (D) ...

Not popular → likely to get cancelled (all not popular police dramas got cancelled)

Then

So we have New shows → Police dramas –most→ not popular → likely to get cancelled

Confirm action

Are you sure?
