I heard a good LR analogy that ironically is also about trees, which summarizes the idea in the last paragraphs: don't sacrifice the forest for one silly tree
yup......that'll do it for today folks
Got this question right in the first round then second-guessed myself in the blind review :.( ughhh
The SA questions are giving me a tough go so far; the bigger the struggle the bigger the gain I guess
Additionally, since the second rule specifically used the word "should" I assumed that the fact "Penn should not" receive the award was strictly referencing his failure of not activating the second rule's sufficient conditions
#help I get that if Penn isn't eligible he shouldn't get the award, but couldn't he also be in the eligibility pool and still not receive the award by failing the second rule (i.e. not save a life, not do something beyond reasonable expectations, and/or not do the act this year)?
It was this train of thought that led me to wrongly picking E (and also naively crossing out A on first glance).
For those struggling with W questions, one thing that I do is place the phrase "What if..." before every answer choice. This reinforces the fact that you are trying to weaken the argument's strength specifically by exposing the logical gaps within it. It also helps me psychologically, as I perceive each answer choice as a rebuttal to the author's conclusion. When you apply the phrase to all choices, it makes it easier to weigh the weakening "blow" between the other answers, which clarifies which choice is blatantly ineffective. Hope this helps!
In J.Y I trust <3 let's do this!
