Is there a way for us to individually edit the way our block are structured? I am looking to add a more balanced approach to the blocks, but they seem to provide more focus to LR over RC for example.
I could just study RC drill sets, but I would prefer if these were already embedded within my study block/plan so that way I know I am completing the amount of RC related studying.
Any insights are greatly appreciated 😊
After reading this, I thought what if there were universally accepted types of behaviour(s) that the authors were writing about.
D). goes in another direction that is correct, and made sense to me whilst going through the ac's
Open mind is essential
for as long as I have been studying for this exam, I have always been told that the word "best" is one of the hardest thing to prove.
Yet this answer fits given all how bad all the other ones are ffs
Another passage would've made this approach much more intriguing to learn
Hi all, I have finally reached the clarity of mapping RC out for structure as opposed to content and wanted to know how I could maximize this approach while still pacing during the section(s)?
Many thanks

We need to find the most accurate/ correct answer that will accurately outline how the author messed up in service of their argument
in this case the author assumed that just bc X happened in the past, does not mean that Y will for sure happen
Answer Chosen - B
Correct Answer - C
Why is B incorrect?
too strong, wrong direction
although I had the correct thought process going into the answers (just bc he rejected the last 5 dont mean he will approve the next one), the author is not stating anything that implies that the supervisor is required to do anything and just off that notion we can eliminate this ac
Why is C correct?
C has a broader and soft-worded approach to the way it accurately describes the flaw in question here imo
just bc the supervisor previously turned down the last five proposals does not mean that the next one will be approved
As the title states, I want to change my study plan to focus more on RC instead of LR
@ygcastro thank you for the feedback! I also share explanations on other questions so you might find them!!
The only reason why I got A right was because I only looked at the conclusion. Once I realized that or was involved within the stimulus and its importance, I ensured to look for that in my AC - There are strategies to avoid such jargon as this question includes
As the title states.
@AlexCaches There is no CTRL-F, but there is a search option embedded within the exam itself
Weaken (Powerful)
We are looking for the best/ correct answer that will either provide us with an alternative explanation or hurt the plausibility of the argument
in this case, we are dealing with stimulus where we are hurting its' plausibility
Answer Chosen - B
Correct Answer - D
Why is B incorrect?
Its impact is not as clear as D is.
we are trying to weaken by saying that although the constituents are happy, this does not mean that people as a whole are happy
in fact, B still allows for a bit of strengthening to occur bc it is saying at least some people would be happy which in this case are the constiuients
the author is making comparing a general claim with a specific situation and this is what we needed to weaken their argument with
Why is D correct?
D. can be paraphrased in a way by calling out the author's assumption of the general claim being applicable in his scenario
just bc the constiuents are happy dont mean that everyone as a whole are happy and that is how we weaken the plausibility of the author's argument through D
NA (Provable)
We need to find an answer that if negated will weaken the argument
or we need to find an answer that serves as our missing link to the argument
Answer Chosen - A
Correct Answer - C
Why is A incorrect?
Although this is true (if negated), it is not necessary to what is pertaining to the conclusion which is about maximizing profits
Why is C correct?
C. takes that part of A and it also uses the conclusion in order to make itself necessary which is exactly why this is the correct answer!
I need to get more comfy with negating unless but moving forward i know now that I can say whether or not which is a great way for me to actually wrap my head around it
Sufficient Assumption (SA)
We are looking for the answer that can 100% guarantee the conclusion of the argument true
we are trying to fill in the gaps within the argument with our correct answer
Answer Chosen - D
Correct Answer - A
Why is D incorrect?
If we were to contrapose D we would see how it is effectively wrong
because it is incorporating that all members who were consulted did not agree, the chairperson was wrong for releasing the report.
Since we do not know what they would have said (ie agree or diasgree) it really does nothing for us to gurantee this conclusion and for that it is wrong
Why is A right?
A if contraposed allows us to guarantee our conclusion 100% true
If CP did not have any consent from most(any) other members, it was not permissible to release the report
the members were never able to give their consent because they weren't consulted
Weaken (Powerful)
We need to find the best (correct) answer that will allow us to effectively destroy the argument by way of alternative explanation or by hurting the plausibility of the argument
Answer Chosen - C
Correct Answer - B
Why is B correct?
The author goes on to argue that because Bats are shy creatures, they wont hurt us even if they are rabid
B. allows us to hurt the plausibility of the argument by emphasising that although they do not move very often, when they attack they attack aggressively
this explanation allows us to confer with the idea of having these animals removed as opposed to just letting them stay in the building
Why is C incorrect?
Unclear impact because we do not care about most animals or really any other animals at that
we are trying to argue why the bats should be removed since the author argues otherwise
SA (Powerful)
We need to find the most powerful and strongest (correct) answer that will allow us to bridge the premises and conclusion together effectively rendering the argument 100% true
Answer Chosen - B
Correct Answer - C
Why is C correct?
We know that films that are okay for children to watch are either W or M but not T
Adult films on the other hand, contain P & D, and so they can not be shown to children
C. is essentially the bridge we need = P&D are essentially threatening because of the fact that they are dark themed
Why is B incorrect?
Unclear impact because we do not know if animated films that are made for adults are appropriate for adults to begin with
Flaw (Provable)
We need to find the best/ correct answer that accurately describes the mistake the author committed in favour of their argument
In this case, we are seeing how the author infers a crazy conclusion without considering if at some point something can in fact be prevented
Answer Chosen - E
Correct Answer - D
Why is D correct?
D. is descriptively accurate
although it seems to good to be true (at least for me), D is straight to the point with what the author is failing to consider or address = although these economists use state of the art tech, just because it is not working rn does not mean that i will never work. there is a possibility of the tech getting better
Why is E incorrect?
it is a close runner up to D and this is why i chose it but it is in fact wrong
there is no information that is being presented by the author and just based on this word we can already conclude that E is wrong
Author did not state that these recessions wont occur, but rather that they are unpreventable and so we can eliminate E off this fact as well
Flaw (Provable)
We need to find the best/ correct answer that will accurately describe how the author made their mistake in service of their argument
in this case, they made a conditional error
Answer Chosen - E
Correct Answer - D
Why is D correct?
D. calls out the author's conclusion that the eagles will win their games if J does not play.
Although, we know that in the past games, the eagles won when J did not play, we infer that the eagles WILL win as a result of this in their next game
Why is E incorrect?
E. speaks on the computer analysis portion within the stimulus and that is not what we are after here
Solutions?
Find the keywords that elude to the flaw
the argument went from past instances and inferred something about the future just based on that
Strengthen (Powerful)
The correct answer will provide us with a powerful way to strengthen the argument via ruling out an alternative explanation or by adding plausibility to the argument being made
Answer Chosen - D
Correct Answer - B
Why is D incorrect?
This actually weakens the argument being made by the chemist
if the data that was drawn from the studies used local soil conditions then it is indeed likely that the data is not misleading
Why is B correct?
B affirms the author's contention that the study is in fact misleading
it is just talking about how concentrated the two molecules are and does not draw upon their effects on the soil like D does
it is simply saying, we added the same amount of X and we are seeing that they are having an adverse result
Loophole Flaw (Provable)
We need to find the correct answer that will accurately describe how the author messed up in service of their argument
Answer Chosen - B
Correct Answer - C
Why is B incorrect?
the author is not trying to draw an x caused y inference
they are simply trying to argue that something plays a role (IBSE) in a causal relationship
Why is C correct?
Since the author is arguing that the IBSE is a factor in a causal relationship, they overlooked the fact that it could be that something else also contributed to the causality or that nothing at all could have as well.
The author is outrightly assuming that it was only the factor of IBSE
