Trick question; if you honk at me, I'm going to move slower out of spite, and not because I feel possessive of the parking spot, or because I feel pressure. :D
The hard line of “will not find it” somehow threw me off, and left me doubting the conclusion and answer I was initially leaning towards.
I neglected to read the question stem until after I read the first three answers. I didn’t notice it was an “except” until I was like “HOW DO ALL OF THESE EXPLAIN IT?!” I got it right after I noticed that part lol.
A good lesson in, read the stem first. 🤣
My god this one was wordy. I got it right, but :22 seconds slower than target.
They got me with the trap! 😃 I thought I was being slick and fast and saving so much time by clicking it so quickly.
5/5 and gained a little over a minute in time saved! Time to try again, but on the hardest difficulty setting!
The question stem was difficult here. I got it right, only because I flipped it in my head to "Which of these would be false if the two statements about the smoking ban are true?" And the answer was, "Well if the law can't be interpreted in a way that prevents people from smoking in their home, then it wouldn't protect those employed in in-home services."
I'm not sure if that is the best way to interpret the stem, but that is the only way I got the correct answer. Not sure if it would work with all stimuli stemming from this phrasing.
#feedback It would be great if these lessons were broken down in video format to read along with, rather than just in type format. Looking at these diagrams without walkthrough explanation doesn't do me any favors.
Something that I've had to repeatedly train myself to do is to stop thinking of "All of the following weaken EXCEPT" questions as "Strengthen" questions.
I've missed many questions because my head automatically goes,"OK if they all weaken except the correct answer, let me just think of it as a strengthen question," which is not accurate nor always valid. Just because it doesn't weaken the argument, it doesn't mean it strengthens the argument. Sometimes it just means it has no real affect on the argument one way or the other.
This was the first question in which I remembered to not think of it as a strengthen question, and I got it correct.
This one I was able to intuit the answer choice before I even read it. In my head, I was already thinking, "OK, but what if all or most of the dinosaurs at that time lived in that region?"
My logic was:
If admin is ES + PL then admin = OS.
Since admin protects liberties, it follows that if they also are economically successful, then they are an overall success, so answer choice C.
I do wish in these lessons that we were shown all answer choices to try and get it correct before going into the explanation of the answers.
How could you possibly chart this out during a test without running out of time?
