the lesson I took: always looking for the missing link and look for stuff that can support that link,not those stuff support those bunch of premises, like E.

I'm down!

my problem is that I didn't know that most at odds =MBF smh

Very hard to understand, i will try to unpack it.

P1: Readers believe that there are contradictory ideas "CIs"

P2: Writers did not intend to write CIs

C: it is wrong to think the meaning of the poem is what writers intended to write.

We will need to make an assumption to get to the conclusion.

We need to assume:

Readers are right, there are CIs, and because there are CIs, it would be wrong to think the meaning(which has CIs) is what writers intend to write.

Negated E: If readers believe... then it is not a part of the meaning if the poem. If that is the case, readers are wrong and writers are also wrong, the whole argument falls apart. That's why I think E is correct.

This one is extremely hard, I will try to simplify it, and ofc pls correct me if I am wrong

Conclusion: if there is a big chance of getting not good therapy, shrink should not provide it.

C: if there is a small chance of getting not good therapy, shrink should not do it

negated version: if there is a small chance of getting no good therapy, shrink should do it

E: if there is a big chance of getting no good therapy, shrink should not do it

negated: if there is a big chance of getting no good therapy, shrink should do it

you guys notice the difference now? negated C is saying that if there is a small chance, what if the chances are big? Maybe they think small chances are negligible and they choose to take their chances, under that circumstance, should shrink still do it? that's how negated C can't wreck the argument, and therefore it is a SA but not a NA.

and tbh if I ran into this in the actual test, I would just choose the weaker one since it is a NA.

This one really def gave me some hard times.

Conclusion: We should switch it from deep till to no till at all

Support: deep till is 10 times more likely than no-till to suffer soil erosion

C: I read it and thought it means that there are no any other way besides deep till and I quickly eliminated it. But actually, it's saying that in terms of tilling, there's no other way, not that generally there is no other way besides tilling. So there might be shallow or half deep tilling besides no til and deep till and the author is making an assumption here to exclude them all.

I initially put A, but in my second read, I realized immediately C is the right one.

It is kinda subtle, but it is also pretty obvious. It is already in the stimulus that the best way is most historical figures + some data and dates, it didn't say they are gonna go 100% for historical figures. so even if you negate C it won't matter, even if you have to refer to some data snd dates when you are talking about those figures so what?

Because: there is still a high demand in our country for agricultural goods, which is the overriding consideration here.

Therefore: We should still sell it to Country X (no punishment)

missing bridge: just bc we have a high demand for those argri goods, we need to restrain ourselves from punishing X? We are excluding any other potential considerations and making having enough argri goods the number one priority in this country.

This question is really between C and E, I put C in my first try as well. But if you negate it you can clearly see that we should sometimes jeopardize does not affect the conclusion at all. And E is the real missing link here, just because we have high demands in AGs, why should we still sell those equipment to X? Bc AGs is an overriding consideration and it justifies our action of not punishing X

I will try to simplify this stimulus, I hope it helps.

Support: Because folks in uni are making political theory too hard to digest for folks outside of uni.

Conclusion: Therefore, folks outside of uni need to simplify those theories themselves.

Missing bridge? Folks in uni will not do the simplifying work, it can be the case that they are incapable of doing that, or they simply don't want to do it. Bc they won't do it, folks outside of the uni have to do it. Which perfectly fits option E.
