i got it right (yay!) but it did take me 5 minutes to get there after translating the stim and each answer choice. i suppose i couldve stopped translating each answer choice when i saw A matched the translation for the stim, but i was worried i did it wrong and wanted to check every answer.

in an exam, for the first question, would it be better to choose A not a Force user or C not a Jedi? i initially chose the answer C because that is what i thought would be the inferred valid conclusion. yes A is also valid, but i thought it would not be the BEST answer since "Force user" is in the middle of the chain, while "Jedi" is in the beginning of the chain. in my head, i saw "not a Force user" as a sub conclusion and "not a Jedi" as a main conclusion, and chose the main conclusion. how do u go about choosing an answer between 2 valid conclusions?

yeah Q2 absolutely fried my brain. i did not know that "both A and S" does NOT mean the same thing as "neither A nor S". so at first i translated it to "/A -> /S (contra S -> A)". guess i need to read the dictionary for "both" and "neither" lol.

and then when i corrected my translations for each premise, it drove me nuts that i could only make chains with 4 of the 5 "characters" (conditions). screaming in my head HOW DO I FIT BOTH BRAN AND JON IN THIS EQUATION LITERALLY IMPOSSIBLE. lol. well apparently they didnt need to both be in the equation. ok i did not know that.

im sick i changed my answer from D to C and idek why i did lmfao
