So how are we supposed to know when "except" is a biconditional indicator vs group 3? Is it solely based on context? #help

#help. I got this Q right due to POE, but seeing that inference Qs are MBT Qs, shouldn't E have to be true? And couldn't it be false if the theory (that criminals should receive longer sentences for repeat offences than for an initial offense) never acceptable???

#help. Regarding JY's explanation for "except", if there IS a compelling reason, doesn't that mean it SHOULD be undertaken rather than it could go either way (since except is a biconditional indicator)?

#help. There are multiple issues with this stimulus. The main reason I got it wrong is that I harped on the flaw that those in the first group may have already exercised more beforehand. What should we do in situations where there are multiple flaws that can be attacked and they all seem prominent?

#help. Couldn't it be said that Jen's statement was also supporting the premise claim in that because of the toxins, the insects do not prefer less watered plants? (and therefore AC A would work)?

#help. What would a principle question stem look like as opposed to an SA/PSA question stem?

#help. So when skimming answer choices on a timed problem set, it would be wise to avoid 'all' statements if there are only 'some' or 'most' statements in the stimulus. However, we should not disregard 'some' statements because the stimulus only presents 'most' statements and vice versa. Is this correct?

#help

#help. Is the flaw here the same as circular reasoning?

#help. So its my understanding that these types of questions are different from SA in this way: the correct answer choice for SA questions simply have to bridge the gap. the correct answer choice for principle questions have to conform closely, meaning sometimes it is not enough to bridge the gap... they must bridge the gap in a way that conforms to all the information given in the stimulus/AC?

#help. i found it very confusing how JY translated AC A into lawgic. Can someone explain?

#help. I usually use group 3 and negate the group 4 when both groups show up. Clearly it requires intuitive understanding of grammar sometimes rather than just a mechanical translation mechanism. Is this still the case if I decide to use the group 4 instead and negate group 3 for questions with both groups?

#help ^^

Isn't E a MBF rather than a CBF? The stimulus says that suspension bridges are not among those that have faulty designs...

Fuhget abt it, just clicked

#help. Aren't you supposed to accept the entire stimulus as true in MBT questions? And by choosing AC A, aren't you directly contradicting something said in the stimulus (i.e. If everyone in Mooresville would follow my example, we could substantially change the council's membership)? Very lost.

#help. When I try to think of SA questions in the manner that JY explains them, I get caught up on trying to figure out all the sufficient and necessary conditions. On the other hand, when I just try to find a sufficient assumption intuitively, its easier. What should I do?

#help. This quiz seems to suggest that the distinction between PSA and Strengthens is whether a principle is involved or not... is this accurate?

#help. So answer choice C definitely is the right answer, I agree. However, am I correct to say that it doesn't mean that the conclusion is correct if that answer choice were true (I fully recognize that it only has to strengthen and does not have to be sufficient)? Because while it may be murder, it could have been solely the fanatics who committed the murders and not the ordinary people....

#help. Is it necessary to look at this problem from a lawgic perspective? I didn't and it worked out completely fine. I understand that in some cases (like questions with very convoluted arguments), it would be beneficial. However, for a question like this, it rather seems like a waste of time...

#help. Kind of off topic, but does "if only..." imply what comes after is a sufficient or necessary condition? I believe it is sufficient but I want to double check...
