This is brilliant! I think this will be very helpful for us. Thanks for sharing :))

Thanks Alex! It's always good to know that I wasn't the only one who struggled with this game :))

Oh my gosh, it all makes sense now! So as long as there is F1 before G1 G2 can go either before or after F2!

Thank you so much for your kind and detailed explanation :)

Thank you for the sincere post. Your words inspire me so much! Let's kick this mf test's ass!

Thanks for your tip, Jon! I always love reading your posts. They are super helpful :))

I think that the explanation for (E) by JYP is a tad different from my idea so here is my two cents.

JYP explains that (E) is wrong because it's irrelevant but I believe that (E) is wrong because it actually 'Weaken' the argument.

To be more specific, if (E) is true, in other words, if politicians (who are planing to provide more assistance once they get elected) are not elected, then we don't have to worry about government assistance (--> money --> tax --> government intrusion).

Thus, in short, if politicians who keep promises don't get elected, then there will be less government intrusion.

So this will definitely weaken the conclusion (the government intrusion will not be reduced).

Any idea?

Thanks for sharing this, it's fantastic!

Dancing juice!

Thanks for sharing guys!

damn it, got this wrong because I read the question stem wrong... totally missed the 'rejected' part!

Did JYP just say 'dildo' for real...I was listening to this explanation with the speaker on in the kitchen while my dad was making his tea and he gasped OMG I'm dying

how do we know that petals are going to wilt within one or two days REGARDLESS? I dont think that there is any information that indicates that the petals are going to wilt no matter what... can someone please help?

I have a question regarding (B) - according to JYP, we can say that there are some people who are good at manipulating symbols and also have mathematical understanding.

But where in the hell can we find this information from the stimulus?

Hey, guys here is my two cents and summary of JY's explanation.

Hope this can help.

key point: Writers express their intended meaning by arranging words & sentences

(A) - Well, we know a function of style but dont know anything about its primary function. Plus, literal meaning? It's not same as 'intended meaning' from the stimulus.

(B) - yes, this is supported by the 2nd sentence

(C) - easier for listeners than for readers? This is not mentioned

(D) - Always be interpreted differently by different readers? This is unsupported

(E) - Aesthetic value of his/her writing? We have no information about this from the stimulus

@ I think it's really great that you started this BR group and I'd love to be a part of this too! Hope it's not too late though... can you please count me in?

Hey, guys, here is my two cents! Hope this can help some of you.

Leave comments if you find some of my explanation unclear.

What Stephen is actually saying is that~: it could have been Michelangelo himself who made later additions to the original fresco.

In this sense, if we strip away all the additions, it would damage the Michelangelo's Sistine Chapel fresco rather than restoring it.

(A) - this stimulus doesn't tell us that it's impossible to distinguish the original work and the additional one. Rather, even if it's possible to distinguish between them, it's not the point here.

(B) - correct answer

(C) - integral part? Who knows? Maybe it could have been. We don't know since it's unsupported.

(D) - important artist? We don't know about this since it's unsupported.

(E) - rarely satisfied? Not supported! We don't know about this since here in the stimulus, we are only talking about one of his works which is the fresco work in the Sistine chapel. So there is no way we can know about the general characteristic of Michelangelo's personality.

How can we know that the winning chance of this ticket is one in 1000? I don't understand....can someone please help me with this?
