I wish I could see the complete question and answer set before I get the explanation, even skipping around the video is unhelpful since they draw all over the materials and make it clear which answer is the right one. Just let me read it first!
I identified this as a support question immediately, so I was looking for support. Instead, this question is asking us to affirm the argument. This is exactly the type of answer we have been taught to disqualify since it just restates the stimulus. I feel as if the strategies I'm learning worked against me.
I think B is very poorly supported, there is simply not enough information to know whether that is relevant. E is supposedly disqualified since there is a presumed difference between "first few" and "several" but the assumption needed to consider first few and several as equivalent is MUCH smaller than the assumption that a difference in relative size is harmful to the argument. I strongly disagree with this one.
Is my work awesome? Am I crushing it? This false encouragement it very annoying.
I might have actually managed to learn something, about 30 hours into the course.
Answering in 47 seconds is impossible if you apply any of the strategies taught here. One might as well guess.
I really wish the time given in the study plan would at least correspond with the length of the video. The study plan claims this is a 2-minute section and the video is 6:49 long. Am I just supposed to ignore the video? This is happening frequently as I go through this study plan.
4 seems to be If A and B and C then D. 5 seems to be If A and B and C and not D then E. There is no way to reduce the complexity.
I don't get how to apply this. The stems don't seem to be responsible for my wrong answers, but I did poorly on this exercise. I just take each stem in the context of the question and there is no confusion for me about what is being asked. So, what's the matter with me?
