#help I have a general question, but I am using 7.2 as an example.

What I don't understand ab the contrapositive is that, for example, in this question, the contrapositive statement sounds like an absolute statement to me.

If the cars are not only available in manual transmission, the experienced drivers don't have an advantage. But wouldn't there be other ways for experienced drivers to have an advantage? Do we not consider that?

I think I might be thinking about this in the wrong way, but any help in understanding this concept better?

7.2

If cars are only available in manual transmission, then experienced drivers will have an advantage over beginners.

If experienced drivers do not have an advantage over beginners, then cars are not only available in manual transmission.

manual --> exp advantage

/exp advantage --> /manual

Thank you.

For question 3.2 this is how I would label it

(Contextual Information) The toy factories polluting the river with waste plastic has made stopgap arrangements to store their wastes on the factory premises.

(Premise) As not a single factory has developed an adequate waste management plan

(Sub Conclusion) This is not a stable long-term answer.

(Main Conclusion) they should cease manufacturing toys and close operations immediately

However, the answer to this question labels "this is not a stable long-term answer" as a Premise, not a Sub Conclusion (or even a Minor Premise)

I am trying to combine the different techniques and skills we are learning to dissect arguments, and according to everything we've already learned, I think that part is a sub-conclusion.

Not sure if I am thinking of this in the wrong manner.

I got this question right, but this question type isn't clicking with me.. I'm confused as to what exactly we are really looking for in the answer choices there doesn't seem to be a method

I have somewhat of an arbitrary question. This video explains that this argument is valid and has no assumptions.

However, I can think of one possible assumption; we are assuming that Walt didn't get any special preference or treatment from Disney to get the Genie+ fast pass or somehow scammed the system and didn't have to either "offer ten goats' worth of propitiations to Mickey Mouse" or "prostrate himself before Goofy's altar in the Magical Kingdom"

Not sure if this veers too much into the “Based on my knowledge of the world, do I know if this claim is true?” kind of thinking we were told not to prescribe to a few lessons ago.

Any comments or thoughts would be helpful, thanks!

I'm trying to understand this as best I can, but the example confuses me even more. I get that we can't interchange sufficient and necessary conditions. What's tripping me up is that if the Lawgic reads as late --> 5+ (/5+ --> /late contrapositive), doesn't 17 minutes fall into the 5+ category because 17 minutes IS "more than 5 minutes after the last bell rings"?

Somebody commented that if you replace the term late with the term XYZ and focus on the lawgic instead of the meaning of the actual word, it helps understand the concept, which is helpful. However, we will apply these concepts to real situations and scenarios on the test, so I'm still a little confused.

Everyone in these comments is worried about D, but I don't understand why A is wrong. The stimulus states that some recent grads consider work environment, but all recent grads consider salary. So wouldn't all people who consider work environment also consider salary?? I might be thinking about this the wrong way because if all recent grads consider salary, wouldn't the "some" that consider work environment still fall into that "all" category as well?

struggling with the sufficient/necessary conditions in PSA questions specifically

Really seem to be constantly making the "oldest mistake" in the book in confusing sufficiency and necessary conditions... can someone explain why C is wrong in those terms? Also, any helpful advice for nailing down that concept.. I understand it but almost never apply it correctly on answer choices
