Do it! I am volunteering at the Innocence Project while I am studying for the LSAT and the people that I have gotten to know and the recommendations have been so beneficial.

Oh my gosh...you are freaking amazing! I was resigned to the fact that they would just be small copies, but I got it figured out. Thanks @7sagestudentservices!!

I have random preptests from the late 90s and 00s (that I bought before getting 7sage-ugh!) and they are spread over two pages and a larger font. Not a big deal...I just wish there was an easy way to do it. Thanks @colewmurdoch391.w.murdoch !

I so wish that the salesperson at Dillards would say, "Let me get you some f-cking pants." I would laugh my f-cking ass off!! (Not a jab, @dukeag759 ...you just made me laugh. Each is entitled to their opinion and yours is just as right as anyone else's.)

Man, I wish I knew that. I thought we could upgrade at any time and get the discount.

YES!! I read testing gamma interferon and mistakenly thought that they were removing it from the body and testing it. I was confused then to read that the patients got worse.

LOL!!

Can someone please help me understand the parts of this argument? I identified the conclusion as "one must consider the effects of large numbers of people not voting" which was supported by the premise "an act by one person is not right if such an act done by large numbers of people would be socially damaging". I couldn't really see how the first sentence was supported by the other sentences, so I considered it to be context. Any ideas? I would really appreciate it!!

I think it is because of the word "principle" in the question stem. The answer choices are more general than typical sufficient assumption questions.

I picked C and had a really difficult time reasoning that B was the correct answer. To me, it seemed that the premise and conclusion really were making a comparison between employees who engaged in dialogue (premise/sentence 2) and employees who did not (premise/sentence 1). After reading the stim and comments several times, I have come to view this question this way:

B says that "employees are more likely to implement...". This is really suspect because it is actually the employers implementing the ideas. (Props to Mark Tenorio)

Second, the stim isn't really making a comparison. The first sentence simply says that the employees likely would not react positively and would likely resent the ideas. But that is not to say that they would be less likely to implement them. So, answer C kind of takes the stim in another direction.

Answer B is concise and makes exactly the bridge that needs to be made to help justify the argument.

Thank you!

Can someone please help me understand how the X-> Y translates? JY says that it means "Almost anyone can convince someone of his or her qualifications", but wouldn't that be Y-> X? I would really appreciate any help.

The quiz includes sufficient assumption and argument part questions. I didn't see any necessary assumption questions (?). Sufficient assumption questions are what we just did earlier in this lesson. I was a little surprised to see the argument part questions too, but I did the flashcards (next lesson) first, so I was expecting those. They are pretty easy to pick out once you look at them a time or two.

This solved the problem. Thanks!

Thanks for getting back to me so quickly. The problems have been with the entire site. I have cleared my cookies and cache and will let you know if it improves. Thanks again.

This was really helpful to me @dictronic110. I felt that D changed what we were told in the stim (in the stim it was "in the absence of credible evidence" and then it changed to subjects "acquired confirmation" in the answer choice). Your response helped me to see that the conclusion in the stim was a general principle which could still be true. It just is no longer strongly supported by the study due to the new information in answer choice D.

This is great...thanks!!

This was incredibly helpful...thanks!

I have read through everyone's comments, but I am still stumped with this question. I got the answer right by eliminating the other answers, however if there was a paraphrase of the 2nd (effects of a large # not voting) or 3rd (principal) sentence I am pretty sure that I would have gotten the question wrong. I totally see why the theft example is an example/premise, but I am struggling with the rest. Help?
