How was I supposed to know that Professional tailors did everything a [normal] tailor does?

Can I assume “not generally worse” means equal??? I got this wrong interpreting “not generally worse” as generally most have the same diet, i.e. many do not.
Thus if many (20%) of kids have worse diets this would certainly impact the ratio. I chose C as a result since it ruled out people didn’t know to brush their teeth.

I felt confident C) would most weaken the argument. If process takes millions of years THEN it would weaken the geologist argument that scientists can be refuted based on biomarkers indicating PRESENT or past existence of an organism. In this case, wouldn’t the fact that petroluem is made over millions of years indicate that no present/alive organism could be found via biomarkers.
I guess as long as the biomarker found past OR present organisms in the petroleum then we are fine. Answer choice C) just refutes that ut could be present material?

21 is tough. Between A and D. If you asked me why did the author use the phrasing “purely social phenomeon” I’d say to emphasize these practices are non-economic. But that’s different than the phrase being equivalent anything that’s not a social derived phenomenon.

Regarding Choice D----> The reviewer states choice D does not imply mosts As are Cs (at 18:35)?
if most As are Bs and Most Bs are Cs then aren't Most As Cs??? Does the logic not work with "most" statements? Meaning you can only do this with if and then statements but not "most statements"( if A->B, if B--> C then A-->C.)

I got caught up thinking it was old —most—> Wealth
And confused myself. Any tips to help me avoid this mistake?

does "in the relevant sense" mean like "in the sense used in the argument"?
I followed the logic on this when originally answering the question and got tripped up on this wording thinking it was a juxtaposition with morality "in it self". Now I think I see it was intended to mean he failed to justify why this argument was immoral as liberals think.

The key is the prompt says “all contemporary artists” feel their art gives aesthetic values. So only one instance would prove them right.
D) seems like it would be right on any other prompt but D) totally invalidates it while E) hurts the liklihood by diminishing the potential causal relationship between # of great historic works compared to satisfaction elsewhere.

The only way I can discount B) in my mind is that “contains” could mean only 1 cacti plant. I think if it said contains same level of cacti plant as before the blight, then it would be correct, no?

Thank you for such a thorough explanation that really gets into the logic of why someone might have picked each choice.

So I was able to get this right by immediately recognizing the flaw. But the wording on this answer is confusion such that if there was an additional choice where "necessary" was swapped with "sufficient", I would have been lost.
Actually, as I thought about it and wrote this I got it.
He presupposed if [being cat] has certain property of [mammal status] then having [mammal status] property, is sufficient for being a cat.
This is of course, incorrect

So I follow the logic here, how do I do that quickly on the exam? And know which questions deserve a full write out and ones that don't? I guess read it and if I'm stumped turn to writing out the conditionals, etc??

the phrasing "they miss the causal relationship between people and institutions" is actually most telling hint aka they don't understand people cause insititutions to be a certain way not the other way around. E lays that out.

Why was it obvious that “it shows that” referred to the entire passage prior and not to solely the previous sentence?
What does “presuppose” mean in this context?
