Hey all,
The weakening section is making me really frustrated and I'm starting to panic because I'm just not consistent. I'm even missing some of the "easy" 1/5 difficulty questions. On the most recent example I still cannot understand why the answer I selected is wrong and the correct answer is right.
The problem in question is LR Weakening lesson 13/21, PT32 S1 Q12 "Polar Bear Navigation"(https://classic.7sage.com/lesson/animal-navigation-weaken-question/?ss_completed_lesson=994). I selected E because the argument's context defines navigation as returning to familiar territory without using the five senses._ This shows that the animal wasn't "navigating" as defined in the arg, but doesn't contradict the premise that the polar bear did return home-- it just contradicts that this shows it was navigating. How is this possibly an incorrect weakener?
Answer B was correct, which states that the location 300 miles away was actually along the polar bear's normal migration route. This makes sense as a weakener, because it shows that the return route wasn't actually unfamiliar. However, in my mind this required an assumption on directionality. Why would this mean the polar bear would return home, and not to the other endpoint of the migration route? To me this was too big of an assumption to make and so I eliminated this answer choice. Why is this not too big of an assumption to make?
Thanks so much for your time! Really struggling with weakening even though my scores are fairly good, almost always -5 on LR.
Totally understand the flaw in this, and anticipated in when reading the stimulus. Of course, it doesn't have to be true that every single OH has >1 apartments; it could be that three OH's have all the apartments. E is incredibly poorly worded bc "more than 3" seems like it is already included in the "more than one" in the argument's conclusion, which leads to easy elimination.
I don't disagree that it's the best answer out of the ones given, but it's terribly written.
