has anyone made a quizlet for this? :) #help
not sure if they discord is open, can I still join? I'm interested!
For weakening questions, you want to look for an alternative explanation as to why something is correlated to the other. In this case, the stimulus concluded that psychological factors could cause heart disease. However, correct AC E gives us an alternative; in this case, physiological factors as a cause of heart disease.
Be sure to read carefully during the actual exam!
Ask yourself, 'what if' there was another explanation to articulate why there was an increase in worker safety after 1955? What if the cause of increased worker safety is not due to legislation?
You need to bridge the conclusion to its premise. How did it make that jump assuming that ‘all transgressions ignored the welfare of others?”
very cookie cutter question; reminds me that I need to review the valid argument structures again
You can also view B as the right answer by revisiting advanced logical indicators. The sufficient and splits; TG → O and I, and O and I are independently necessary for TG to be sufficient. When you don't have either O or I, you deny the sufficient.
To break down the negation of A further...
The original lawgic of AC A: helpful warnings → (speaking → increase risk)
To negate a comparative statement, you need to essentially deny the relationship between how helpful warnings and speaking to a driver → increasing their risk of accidents. To do that, you would need to remove the arrow (→) with an 'and,' and negate the necessary.
Negated lawgic of AC A: helpful warnings and not(speaking → increasing risk)
The original argument is that driving while talking on a cell phone significantly increases the risk of accidents, in comparison to that of talking to a passenger, as the passenger can give helpful warnings. AC A is the gap between the premise and the conclusion, as it shows how not having helpful warnings increases the risk of accidents. However, when you negate AC A, it removes that relationship away, saying that not having helpful warnings does not increase that risk, thereby ruining the argument.
Will we go over assigned problems in this class?
Interested, mornings and nights work!
this question reminds me of Necessary Assumption questions, where you want a conclusion that captures the main point but, if it weren't true, it'd wreck the argument. E was super lowkey in its wording.
Interested as well! Thanks for your offer :)
D is better for weakening questions rather than describing the flaw
Interested!
