the constant switching between RRE and the actual question was very confusing... it might be nice to adjust this in the new gen of videos! :)
How do we know that "The penalty imposed on the company will probably have little if any effect on its behavior" is not part of the main conclusion? It seems like a necessary piece to make the main conclusion as identified in the video comprehensible.
Will it always be true that obvious conclusion indicators in the second type of question do not point to the main conclusion?
@Junaaa You can technically choose either clause in the sentence to negate, as long as you make the other positive. e.g. for "Blackouts will occur unless the heat wave abates," you can say /blackouts -> heat wave abates OR /heat wave abates -> blackouts. This works because the two statements are each other's contrapositives.
@DylanHamerman Yes, sufficient conditions always go to the left of the arrow. It helped me when I was first getting used to Lawgic to draw the two concentric circles and label where each condition went before I wrote out the conditional statement.
@AnthonyElHelou I would try writing out the logic of the argument in the same way that the instructor does for PSA questions and for the newspaper column question (it comes right before this one) and doing the same for each of the answer choices! That has helped me get these questions right way more often.
