Hey! I am so lost on this question. "A society that has no laws has no crimes." Isn't "no" negate necessary, so that would become, in lawgic speak, L- -> C? (The no when it goes to negates "no crimes" becomes "crimes" in the positive sense. Then, why is AC A not correct?

Please, someone, tell me if my line of process is not correct. I haven't worked with the Advanced Logic section yet.
The stimulus in saying that "being intelligent does not imply that one is wise, nor does being wise imply that one is intelligent" is NOT saying that if you are intelligent, then you are not wise and vice versa but rather it is saying that if you are intelligent, you do not HAVE to be wise. Therefore, there are people who can be both wise and intelligent, so B is incorrect.
I originally chose B because I was thinking that I→W and W→I.
ugh why does he have to write sooo small?
OMG. That makes so much more sense now. That was super subtle.
How do you know if "this necessitates" is referring to government intervention and not "solving the problem of homelessness?" Part of the reason why I chose A was because I was lost on the referential phrasing.
I think I was tripped up by the double indicator words because I know "required" indicates a necessary condition, but "required" is used in conjunction with "only if" in AC A and "if" in AC C. I easily and quickly eliminated all the other choices because of the word "sufficient." What should I do in the future when I have this problem and how would I know which indicator word to rely on to map out the conditional? #help.

#help Isn't E attacking the premise? The premise is saying the size of a subregion of the hypothalamus is correlated to the development of disease X. Then, the conclusion takes it a step further and say that there's the causal relationship.
Hello. I'm having trouble wrapping my head around why the correct answer choice is A. The second sentence of the stimulus says that NO OTHER ORGANISM has a greater resistance to cancer than sharks. Answer Choice A states that "no organism resists cancer better than sharks do, but some resist cancer as well as sharks." This is true according to the analysis given for the second sentence in the stimulus, and therefore it does not match the question stem criteria of selecting an answer that could be true EXCEPT.
Consequently, I don't understand why answer choice B is incorrect.

I got tripped up with the "eliminate economic roles" in Answer Choice C. If labor-saving technology was introduced, wouldn't that eliminate economic roles? IE: There wouldn't be any more janitors.
But that would rely on you knowing that the sun is a star. What if you come in not knowing this?
I get the structure of the stimulus. The stimulus is saying that the nucleomorph was found inside the chlorarachniophyte. The nucleomorph has to be the remains of an engulfed organism's nucleus because it contains two versions of a particular gene in its DNA. I'm imagining that the chlorarachniophyte engulfed an organism, and a part of the organism gave way to the functional nucleomorph, which is now found within the chlorarachniophyte. How can answer choice E be the correct answer? E says chlorarachniophyte emerged following the endosymbiosis, but chlorarachniophyte has to already exist before then because it was part of the process of endosymbiosis. The chlorarachniophyte engulfed another organism. Also, how is answer choice C incorrect? I'm having trouble following.

Hello!
I am stuck on Practice Test 31 Section 3 Question 22 about endosymbiosis. I get the structure of the stimulus. The stimulus is saying that the nucleomorph was found inside the chlorarachniophyte.

Hi! The reason why A is wrong is due to a mistaken translation. So let's map it out together :
devote themselves to the study of natural processes ---> leisure
resources plentiful ----> leisure
but wait..... it also says NOT when resources are scarce so ... resources plentiful ---> leisure
its actually a bi conditional if we chain up (2) (3)
So we get :
devote themselves to the study of natural processes ---> leisure (--------) resources plentiful
In answer choice A ) we get plentiful resources (--some -) devote themselves to natural processes.
Remember this is a mistaken inference and we cannot go backwards from the some arrow all the way back to the study of natural processes. This is an invalid inference
In answer choice C ) agriculture first began in societies that have plentiful resources. How do we know this? Because in the conclusion it says these discoveries were the result of " the active study of natural processes ". If we knew we had the time to study the natural processes then we must have had leisure and THEREFORE must have had plentiful resources.
Why can't you point the arrow from leisure back to the study of natural resources? Why can you point the arrow both ways between leisure and resources plentiful? Also, I'm not sure what you mean when you put some in between plentiful resources and devote themselves to natural processes. Sorry, I'm starting to get a better understanding, but I'm still not all the way there.
Thanks for your time and help!
Hello. I'm having trouble understanding why Answer Choice A is incorrect and why choice C is correct. Answer Choice A reads, "Whenever a society has plentiful resources, some members of that society devote themselves to the study of natural processes." In the stimulus, you know that people have leisure when they have plentiful resources, and leisure is needed for the study of natural processes. Therefore, whenever a society has plentiful resources, people have the leisure they need to devote themselves to the study of natural resources. That is why I thought Answer Choice A is correct and can't see why it is incorrect. I watched JY's video explanation, but I got lost and confused when he explained the order of logic.
I'm also having trouble understanding what part of the stimulus gives support to Answer Choice C.
If someone can please explain to me how my way of thinking about Answer Choice A is wrong and why Answer Choice C is actually correct, I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you so much in advance!

Hello. I'm working on the MSS section, and when I go to different review sections with videos, it takes me to a Wordpress site and the webpage says "This site is experiencing technical difficulties." I'm using Google Chrome on my Macbook 2017 with the latest IOS, if that is helpful. IDK. However, when I go to other sections of this course without videos, it works just fine. Is anyone else having this issue? Can someone please help me, please? I'm worried. Thanks!

You clearly have the potential. Is there any way at all that you can sit out this cycle and try again? This time, you probably can break into the 170s and you also can apply early next cycle.
