#help - Where did I go wrong here. I now understand why C is correct (I originally misread it) but I'm still struggling to understand why E is wrong.
I interpreted the stimulus to be:
accurate + curious → Good Journalim
I kinda ignored the part about high viewership, maybe this is part of my error.
I interpreted E to be:
/(accurate or curious) -> /Good journalism
Using DeMorgan's law, I took the contrapositive of the OG stimulus to be the same thing that E was saying.
Did I incorrectly translate something into lawgic here? Or is the takeaway that if the actual argument is present as an AC, then that overrules the contrapositive of the original argument?
So what should be my takeaway here if out of the past 4 practice questions, I've gotten three right only in the blind review portion? Should I focus less on speed and just read everything more carefully and not mind the clock?
Can someone please help me understand: Identifying a causal factor doesn't preclude other causal factors.
Identifying a causal pathway doesn't preclude other causal pathways.
Sometimes with a wordy stimulus like this, I find myself jumping to the last sentence and working backwards through the paragraph and that has seemed to help me dissect what is actually being said better. I am wondering if this strategy will ever come back to bite me?
I got this right but after staring at my screen like a zombie for 10 mins... ugh.. If this is level 4 difficulty, I am very scared to see a level 5...
For me, depending on the statement, I find it easier not to think about which indicator word is being used, but instead I create the contrapositive statement and see if that makes sense.
For example, #3: lets say you flip the sufficient and necessary conditions on accident - highest flying bird → nests in the Andes, contrapositive being if does not nest in the andes → not the highest flying bird - I know this is incorrect because it assumes the highest flying bird ONLY nest in the Andes, which is not necessarily true based off the context given, so more logically it is nest in andes→highest flying bird
i'm gonna go take a walk
I am so frustrated.. I've gotten so many in a row wrong. Why am I not learning from my mistakes!!!
