#help

Hey! This might be super late but I saw your discussion post and thought I would respond to potentially help you, but also help me explain it out loud!

So I actually tabbed this question because I was conflicted between AC C and E. I ended up going for C, and the right AC was E.

I didn't pick E because I thought that it directly contradicted the part in the stimulus that reads "but now that stores and workplaces are located far away from residential areas...." However, upon review, the key word NEW BUSINESSES in the AC clarifies a key difference.

Why AC C was wrong: Reading the stimulus I can see that much of the argument has to do with the businesses moving, not the residents. Another reason why AC C is not a viable conclusion/ solution, is because no matter where the residents of small towns moved to (the city centre, suburb, etc), the stimulus says that ALL roads are experiencing traffic congestion, yet points to the most extreme example, highways, to make it's argument. Moving to the suburb would probably cause more congestion if anything.

I placed a #help because I would love if any 7Sage tutor could confirm or challenge my thought process here. Thanks!

#help For question 14: I quickly went for C and moved on because as soon as I saw the word detachment, I went for it. However, upon watching the explanation video, there is another element I recognised:

I guess one can argue that "increasing the degree of detachment" is inferred from "not to become too closely involved.."However, I am reminded of the CC days when JY explained that negation is not opposite + increase/decrease is a quantitative measure while not become involve/ become involved is a do or don't (qualitative perhaps?) measure.

Although JY said in the explanation video that that part of the AC is factually correct, I'd like to still confirm or deny my further reasoning.

Q6: I was picking between A and C and the only reason why I picked C is because I was more focused on the last paragraph that said "infectious pathogens" (assumed that infectious was a descriptor/subset of pathogens and that noninfectious pathogens existed... thus the word ALL in answer C used too strong of language) rather than the first paragraph that literally give the definition of pathogens LOL.

Need to break the pattern of silly mistakes!!! 🙏

Would this be 'a contradiction of principle which the argument depends on,' or 'a part to whole argument?' My intuition is telling me the latter, but wanted to throw out this question just to check if I may be mistaken!

#help So I was down to AC B and D. I know why B is correct but I feel like it is reasonable to make the assumption that children above the age of 6 COULD be present, the same way that JY explains it COULD be a seniors only time slot. I just want to try to understand why one assumption is reasonable, but the other isn't.

Confirm action

Are you sure?
