This one was so so confusing lol

I see how E would be a different reason as to why the sale would decrease, and for that simple reason, it would weaken the argument because it calls into question another option for decreased sales.

I don't know why but initially I chose E, but I thought It would strengthen the argument because the sales were still decreasing and I thought well that's what the accountant is saying.

Okay attack the support, what is the support than?

dammit, i chose A because I didn't check the blossoms!

OMG I chose B on the actual test and then when I did the blind review I chose D....IDK in the blind review I just thought hmm, maybe this is totally irrelevant :/

Okay I chose E, and while I chose it I thought to myself nowhere did Car or Deb talk anything about a healing process, but I thought that D made an assumption that just didn't hold honestly. Now that I watch the video it makes sense: Animals don't give consent and neither do babies.

Lord the picture.... lmao he's little chuckle when he pulled it up... I died a bit

Okay so I literally was fighting with myself to pick AC D because I was stuck between AC B and D. Here's my take:

Stimulus concluded that the female bird picks healthy male birds.

Why?: (Premise) Because the male birds have to puff their air sacs to court.

AC B: says when the males were treated with antibiotics the female birds still didn't choose them. So this would strengthen the argument bc I think you make the assumption that after they were given the antibiotics they were healthy again, so the female birds should have picked them.

AC D: says the male birds are prone to this infection that is visible on their air sacs, therefore mating would be harder and I think the assumption here is that females want healthy males so if the male population is prone to this visibly nasty infection on their air sacs, then the female would pick them because the males would inflate their sacs.

I don't understand why C would be correct because didn't it say that people can go without symptoms? It says that the disk could have been damaged for years before any pain is there so why couldn't I make the assumption through the text? #help

Lately, I've been looking over these MSS questions and something that has helped me when deciding on answer choices is to look would for words that are too specific. I usually find when the are phrases like "Kelly MUST..." or when the stimulus is talking about a specific sub-group and an answer choice includes the word "any"...These little words mean a boatload and will seriously make an answer choice incorrect. Hopefully, this little tidbit helped!

I'm kind of upset that I didn't get this answer right, and the only resource I didn't pick C is because I didn't think that I could make this correlation and assumption. I didn't think that one linked to another if that makes sense, so I chose E because it said that it "could have" so can someone please explain a little more! thanks #help

so what i getting is that because the stimulus said nothing about what could be bad for computers and only what is good for them, this is why A is the correct answer choice?

I feel like that was so hard because C was worded so oddly that I didn't really believe that it could be supported.

Okay, I completely understand why B is the correct answer:

It's because of what the question is asking. "The argument leads to the conclusion that..." So all of the premises will link back to the conclusion which is to renovate the train station.

I literally fell for the stupid trick and chose E!!! SMH!

Okay so will have to do this chart to really understand this question because I was so so so lost

See what I didn't understand is what were can infer, will there be a lesson on inferences that we can make, or is it more intuitive? I chose C and when I watched the review I understood why D is correct, but I don't see why the statement about the eggs being crowded doesn't support the statements above #help

Is it just me or for AC D I felt like "well how was I supposed to know that about diatoms"??? Or more like "how was I supposed to know that diatom shells were relevant to the argument.

#help

I was so sure the correct answer was D, because of how the statement above explained that the gene would produce toxins or carcinogens, but after reviewing I understand that this stimulus did not explicitly state anything about cancer. But if someone can explain why B is correct that would be apprieciated! I still am confused by the role "should" has #help

okay, what the heck... I don't understand how I was supposed to make that assumption if there are times where we shouldn't make the assumptions...

I chose AC C because I thought if the circulation plateaued then the training that was being compensated for the money would lower too in comparasion to the increase the circulation had in the 1980s.

I literally just didn't understand what this question or stimulus was asking.... did anyone else feel like wth is this stimulus talking about???

I am interested!!

Yes please! I need it!

So I completely understand why AC B is correct! I missed the word heart and chose AC A because I thought that because it was just a review they could deduce anything because it wasn't a study and completely missed how the stimulus jumped from the heart to the body!

feeling really peachy because I chose AC C :)

Love when JY says I should be embarrassed lol

But seriously, #help! Is there another explanation for A because correct and C being incorrect?

"they experiment with rice, mice" lol

So, I chose AC E. I gonna try and break it down and if anyone can #help me that would be awesome:

Stimulus states that the dean is defending the idea that the journalism school has little to one value by saying that 65% of graduates got an internship or a job, so it can't have little to no value.

A: I thought this was too much of an assumption because it just seemed like too much of a stretch.

B: irrelevant

C: irrelevant

D: irrelevant

E: I thought if 65% of graduates got internships or jobs, but that 65% of people was smaller compared to ten years ago that that would weaken the argument. Of that 65%, like there could have be 100 students and only 65 grads got internships and jobs, but ten years ago there were 1000 students, and that made 650 grads get internships and jobs.

#help pretty please.
