For the example, “Most New Yorkers ride the train”

Could “Most New Yorkers don’t ride the train.” Be a proper negation?

If not, could someone explain why it wouldn’t be correct?

In the example, "Well-Researched science fiction reflects the views of scientists who contributed as consultants," I had science fiction as the noun, however in the explanation I see how it's a descriptive word for science.

My question is, is the noun, predicate verb/object, always going to be one word (with the exception of the & similar words)?

Are modifiers where we get our assumptions from? I've watched this lesson and the lessons on assumptions many times. Assumptions are still difficult for me so I've been trying to understand how to create assumptions.

Weird question - Because is an indicator but if the phrase was "because of this..." would that be an indicator that the phrase that follows be the conclusion? (This more so relates to over-inclusive)

For example:

The test took an average time of 2 hours and the class average was 60%, because of this, the test must have been hard.

Sorry if this is a poor example, but would it be ok to think like that? Also if anyone has some examples with since/for feel free to share! I can't think of good ones!

#feedback - Where this is labeled as a Complex Argument activity, I was expecting an activity where we would need to differentiate the major premise, sub-premise, sub-conclusion, etc. I see that in question 3, however we were not asked to identify the multiple components. If the purpose of this assignment is to not identify those components, I would change the name. If it is the purpose, I would have more detailed examples and ways to differentiate. Also, it would be helpful if we could change the color/boldness of the text in the boxes. Just a few suggestions, thanks!#feedback#feedback

So to clarify between this video and the last, this video is talking about arguments, where order doesn't matter. The previous video was talking about truths and order does matter?

So in moving a head to the next lesson after this, I started to think that the "what is the main conclusion" type questions is just refuting the other persons claim, is this correct or should I change my way of thinking? I went back and watched this video and could kind of see that being hinted but I might have also interpreted wrong.

Thanks!

How do we unpack the longer examples? I can usually get to the A--> B simple stuff like that, however I'm not sure how to put those individual connections together and draw overall connections. I can usually get the shorter examples.

If anyone has tips on how to help that would be great!
