I am confused on how (A) weakens the argument. Is the conclusion basically saying that the possessiveness increases as for says (A) says less quickly? Is that how it weakens it?

@LaneyWilliams Thank you!

@EDobbs24 Thank you, it does!

@gpigalicious For myself, I watch the videos first to get the thought process behind, and then as we do more problems, I answer the question first, then I go watch the explanation.

Can someone help break this down more simply? I feel the video just makes it more confusing to understand. Thanks!

Went over time, but actually got it right! Slowly getting there! :)

Any recommendations for when studying these MBT questions? How do you best break it down as I'm just learning this, and is still confusing to me. Any tips would be greatly appreciated!

2/5 is at least something good from then my last one I was getting wrong!

Could someone help break this down for me more in a simple way? The video does kinda help, but I'm still getting these wrong and trying to grasp the concept at the same time. Thanks and appreciate any feedback!

@ManusWeber Thank you!

@nedyvelazquez same! ended up choosing "e" but makes sense of why it isn't! so 0/1 .... :/

Is anyone able to break down why problems 2,3,4, and 5 are right? Got at least #1 correct! Something is something!

@ManusWeber Appreciate your honesty!!

where are the videos for these? :/

If this helps from what I gathered on chatgbt:

• All A are B = A → B

• Every A is B = A → B

• Any A is B = A → B

They ALL mean the same thing: 👉 if A, then B

Where your confusion is coming from

You’re probably thinking:

👉 “All” sounds like it’s talking about EVERYTHING

But it’s not.

It’s only talking about: 👉 the group A (birds)

It’s NOT saying anything about: 👉 things that are NOT A (non-birds)

@VerdaSlay I haven't unfortunately yet

Am really struggling with these concepts, please send help ://///

So, 0/5, and just trying to wrap my mind around chaining them. So, as I’m trying to understand this more, should I refer to the wording for sufficient and necessary first? And the different groups explained at the top—is that always the order we need to follow when reading these statements?

Like, do all of the sentences need to be broken down and put in order based on the grouping standards? Like, is it always either Group 1, 2, 3, or 4? Or how should I best understand breaking this down from Steps 1–4 and then Group 1–4?

Basically, I’m just lost on where to start with understanding this, because the wording is getting lost in translation for me. Is there a guide someone typically uses when reading these, or a system you’d recommend I follow?

For #2, I understand the idea, but why is it flipped so the second part comes first: /not want to learn to ski → over 40, and then want to learn to ski → /over 40? In the other examples, the answer is pulled from the 1st part of the sentence rather than the second part.

I feel like this is still confusing to understand, any suggestions as there were a lot of words that can be confusing to understand? For every conditional argument, does there need to be a "/" (Not) aka a contrapositive section for all these arguments going forward?

From my understanding with the help of chat and broke it down for me easily!

• Think of it like a pattern:

  • If A → B

  • X is A

  • → therefore X is B ✅

  • This is valid because it follows the rule correctly.

• 🧩 Example (simple)

  • If it rains → ground is wet

  • It is raining

  • → ground is wet ✅

  • This makes sense AND is logically valid.

• 🚫 Invalid example

  • If A → B

  • X is C

  • → therefore X is A ❌

  • Why is this wrong?

  • Because:

    • 👉 we don’t know how C relates to A

    • There’s no connection.

• 🔁 When it becomes valid

  • If A → B

  • If C → A

  • X is C

  • → therefore X is A ✅

  • Now it works because:

    • C leads to A

    • X is C

    • so X must be A

What is the best way to break it down like sufficient (is not required) and necessary (is required)?

Would this be a good way to think about it without too many moving parts? For instance, using an LSAT prep example:

7Sage (A) is a subset of LSAT course prep (B), which is the superset. This means that 7Sage (A) is sufficient to imply you are taking an LSAT prep course (B).

However, it is not necessary to take 7Sage (A) to be in LSAT prep (B), because LSAT prep can also include other methods, such as a college class or a private tutor.

Being in LSAT prep (B) is necessary in order to be using 7Sage (A), because every instance of 7Sage falls within LSAT prep.

In my module, I completed the grammar section before, but when referring to these questions now, it's hard to break it up with all this new info. Any suggestions? Kinda feels like I just forgot all the grammar when I literally just studied it :/

Is there anyway, we can break this down a bit simpler? I chose "D" thinking that outside people usually will notice the "mistakes" more before we realize it ourselves. Ex. person walking in with a funny shirt, we may not realize it's a funny shirt to ourselves but to others since it's a funny shirt (highlighted to be called out having a funny shirt), is where I find it confusing.

4/5!! question 2 did get me, what's the best way to think about it? I watched the video, but skill kinda confused
