MSS is like a collection of statements. its not even an 'argument' half the time. and it then points you towards the answer choices.

STR is a true argument with a gap. You look at the answer choices and then point towards the stimulus to thin that gap.

i just realized your question is more geared towards the difference in question stems. if you are looking for clues to differentiate between whether the Q type is MSS or STR, i would look more for clues that say something like 'most strongly support the above'. i think the 'if true' clue you gave shows up in both but i cant remember.

yes theyre from PTs in one way or another, no way to avoid unfortunately.

the reptile is using the hissing method as a means of compensating size, similar to how a man drives a ford f-150 despite not having a proper use case for one. this is a nuanced phenomenon still prevalent in today's society. I myself am not subjected to this, as I dont drive an f150, but simply just a lifted jeep wrangler with no doors.

C seems to focus more on strengthening the original argument, whereas D focuses more on weakening the counterargument. Even then, C is still kind of a nothingburger as a strengthener.

These may achieve the same end goal but they are not the same thing. The question is to weaken the counter argument, so we are constrained to the premise/conclusion structure that the counter argument uses. This argument doesn't talk about saving time, it talks abouts volume of recyclables.

yeah that pissed me off ngl. i feel like at start of course we were told to accept premises as true

whiney take

number 8 seems like an under developed answer from JY

doesn't spend enough time tearing apart A. also where does the word romantic come into play as JY seems to think? this question had nothing to do with romantic and he seems to think it was invovled with AC E.

also for E, I don't like how it says "inevitably". yes, death is discussed in passage, but who says it was with regards to it being inevitable?

for NA:

it is what little detail HAS to be true for this argument to even hold any water.

this little detail is so subtle and common sense that it does not even have to be explicityl stated by the arguement.

you often cant guess these before looking at AC because there can be so many that exist for a given scenario.

ex) im going to visit my grandma today.

theres a necessary assumption that my grandma is alive, that i can travel, that im alive, that earth isnt frozen over, etc

if you are stuck on an AC you can try to use the negate trick to see if negating the AC completely dismantles the argument. if yes its correct AC.

i know im probs restating things you know but hopefully something i said helps a bit. keep trying

i will just make the note that PSA are quite different answering approach in NA and SA. there is a strict formula you should follow for PSA.

arg will provide a: P, therefore C argument structure.

there is a major gap within this argument.

your job is to find the AC that provides you with the (P->C) bridge in order to bridge the gap.

now your arg will be

P

P->C

therefore C

if you are getting good enough i dont think you should be to be honest. its beneficial to save time if you are certain the answer is right. i think the highest scorers are doing this so they can have more time to tackle curve breaking questions. but its probably only helpful if you are quite good at the test and at least for the first long while of practicing i doubt you should be doing this.

i think A is actually a trap. it wants you to think rural instead of urban, but its slipped in at the end.

he has a subtle and soft, yet undoubtedly masculine voice, kevin

im interested! i have full time job so i study after work. im almost done core curriculum and im 5 months in

In the course, Kevin mentions for Problem-Analysis where author provides solution, the main point will be the author's solution.

this doesnt seem to be the case here? it threw me off. if anyone has suggestions.

quit whining its not bad, lock in.

HAHAHA. i changed it just to see

shadeee

how can we write our low rez summaries effectively during the test? does the software allow for that?

RIP Nautica! iykyk

cringe on lol, thats a new one

hes an incredible teacher, but yes we hear so much and it gets triggering.

i watched a youtube video where i can see his face while he talks, so now i can put a face to this voice, and im less triggered now. because he is a pleasant looking guy. lots of questions have the alternative tutor explanation as well.

interested!
