I found it hard to pick D because it didn't seem like Regina necessarily disagrees that the transportation funds will be reallocated, she just didn't consider that it could be. So doesn't this mean that she has no opinion on that issue and that we can't say it's something they disagree on? Her only argument is that the new revenues won't reduce shortfalls, what if she didn't know or didn't consider the way it would impact the existing revenues?
#help I don't understand how we can eliminate D. It seems a reasonable assumption that limericks are a type of poem, and the last sentence says that they are not art, therefore it seems valid that limericks are a non artistic type of poetry. Is the problem in there being a difference between something "artistic" and something that constitutes art?
The negation is "some of the mercury introduced into the body can be eliminated," which doesn't destroy the argument because some could be eliminated while still leaving enough traces to find that he ingested it. The negation of none is some, not necessarily all.
Completely agree, this was my line of thinking as well and why I often struggle with weaken questions because I have a hard time seeing where we should criticize an answer choice harshly and where we should be generous in our interpretation.
I agree, or the assumption that Singaporeans of Indian descent are eating more Indian curries than other residents
I think A is wrong because it doesn't necessarily fill in any gap in the logic. The argument isn't corrected by safety going up with attention, since the premises already state that distraction poses a threat to safe driving. The jump the politician is making is that just because his support comes from a concern for public safety, that means the bill should be adopted. D is not too strong because an SA correct answer choice can be anything that fixes the logic, it doesn't have to be necessary, it just has to be sufficient to make the argument work. With SA questions in general, I find it helpful to highlight the conclusion and try to find holes in how the premises arrived at that statement.
#feedback Kevin's explanation video is very helpful here, I don't find it very helpful to watch JY's explanations for comparative passages when he's already eliminated many answer choices earlier in the video and you have to hunt through the earlier parts to find any explanation of a specific question
I agree that the use of the word paradoxical didn't make any sense here, I only got to this answer because every other one was worse
It's very frustrating when questions require the kind of assumptions that you would normally try to destroy if it was in the premises
Legally blonde referenced!
