So for question 8, I know he said receive and not deny cannot be equated, but given the context of the statement, would "/denied" still be correct? Given it is the reasonable assumption that it is healthcare professionals who are not denying people treatment?

For number 8, wouldn't the first part of the question have monkeys as the sufficient condition. The indicator word is "without", so wouldn't you negate monkeys? Translating to, "If there were no monkeys, then we could not have explored space."

I'm completely lost on number 4 #help

#help I'm confused on how there is a silent conditional on question 5.1 (Roman amphitheaters always contain water fountains). Wouldn't always be viewed as a necessary condition? In other words, if it is a Roman amphitheater, then it must have a water fountain. This would then make the Roman amphitheater the sufficient condition, because a place may contain water fountains, but also not be a Roman amphitheater. I used this reasoning and got the question correct, but I don't really understand why there is not necessarily a condition present within the sentence. Just need some clarification.

So, the second example cannot be broken apart into two separate sentences based upon its conjunction right? Meaning, the word "or" suggests that either Ron or Harry will enroll in charms class, not necessarily both, so you then need to keep it one sentence. #help

I don't really understand why B does not weaken the stimulus. I understand that it is not the correct answer, simply due to the fact that it does not satisfy the analogy, but if we're under the assumption that the telecommunications and the national parks industry are similar, and if the telecommunications industry were to tank because of privatization, wouldn’t it be reasonable to assume the national parks industry would follow suit? I'm just confused on that concept #help

For the second example, I kind of understand why "its supports base" refers to the authoritarian regime. However, is it also possible that it can also be referring to the word "society"?

I'm just having some trouble differentiating when there's a predicate object and a modifier. Somethings seem to be specific, which would come off as a modifier, when its the predicate object. Just a little confused on that.

How can you tell the difference between the sub and main conclusion? A few questions in section 2 stumped me because I feel either conclusion can serve as both the main and sub conclusion.

Yep nope, don't get this one.

Anyone else completely lost on this one?

I'm just a little confused on the answer choice. I mean, don't get me wrong, I can get how you can draw that assumption from the premises, but I purposely eliminated that questions because in the Lesson 2 question, he said if an answer choice starts with the conclusion and is followed by something else it's automatically wrong. Just feel like I'm not really getting anywhere.

Not sure if anyone else is having this issue. So far this specific type of LR question has been really stumping me. I'll watch the videos and I'll understand the lesson, and then I'll dissect (or try to) dissect the argument and translate it into lawgic, and then at that point I'm still lost on the question. It hasn't been with every question, but most questions within this Sufficient Assumption set have me making this sort of mistake. #help

For question 4, "The number of beneficial soil bacteria increases whenever plant material is mixed into garden soil. However, in order to mix plant material into garden soil, one must know how to cast the Herbivicus Charm." Can anyone explain to me how "mixed" is the sufficient condition for both claims? I'm slightly confused on that #help

This was definitely a hard one to break down. But for anyone that needs help, choose the choice that most affects the conclusion of the stimulus, in this case hypothesis. I chose E and was completely lost for a few minutes as to why I got this wrong. I would still argue that E is a correct choice and definitely a plausible explanation that ultimately supports the argument, but not more than A does. As confusing as it seems, A is the only answer choice that provides support for the conclusion that there's burrowing activity occurring which is causing the fairy circles. Remember, don't get lost in the premises, use them as guides to provide context for the conclusion!
