I have a slightly different opinion.

Even if "perhaps" is dropped from the first sentence, answer choice (B) still wouldn't be correct.

The first sentence of the stimulus: wrong → cause harm

(B): cause harm → wrong

IMO it's a classic confusion of sufficiency and necessity. Is this line of thinking reasonable? #help

@ Can you add me to the group? Thanks so much!

Can you take the "contrapositive" of (D) and say "at least some people who are not happy feel isolated"?

#help

Thank you for doing this! How can we join?

Thank you for sharing! So why was the additional waiting, and how did you work it out with your proctor?

Interested! Could you send me the link/method to join? Thank you!

Would it be fair to say that conditional logic can indicate association/correlation, but not causation? #help (Added by Admin)

Why is (C) incorrect? #help

What happens if the group of children who didn't watch TV was familiar / not familiar with the advertisements for these sugary cereals?

My issue with AC (D) is that it describes the current geological source in the north, and yet the topic in the discussion was way back in history. Any thoughts?

It could be that CURRENTLY there are no geological sources of volcanic rock north of this boulder, but there were such sources during the LAST ICE AGE?

(Bumping a previous question because I'm wondering about the same thing. #help)

For #21, is (B) wrong also because it's too negative?

(B) says "traditional abstract ethical training...tends to decrease or impair the medical student's sensitivity to modern ethical dilemmas." #help

(A) "Earlier NA agricultural techniques" not mentioned, and "decrease only slightly" is not the same as "without a major increase."

(B) Wrong because the comparison of wild vs. domesticated animals is too broad. The point is not that "so that we can" utilize these animals as a food source but to restore the biodiversity of the prairie.

(C) Contrary to the conclusion.

(D) We're talking about returning as much land as possible, not preserving the remaining NA bison.

(E) "Could" matches with "could" in the conclusion, and "devastation...largely reversed" matches with "restore biodiversity."

Bump to see if anyone else would like to chime in!

Are (D) and (E) assumptions of the argument? #help

Would (A) be correct, if it said the argument "takes for granted that the only academic purpose of school is to make students learn curricular content"?

I noticed a scope shift from "curricular content" in the premise to "essential academic purpose" in the conclusion. The author seems to assume that the only academic purpose served by the incentives of grades is to make students learn curricular content.

Does that sound right? #help

Is answer choice (D) incorrect because it is too weak? #help

Does (A) strengthen Galina's argument?

Galina argues that squirrels are not after the sugar. Does (A) strengthen by saying that since squirrels love high-sugar food, and that the concentration of sugar in maple is low, so squirrels are probably not after the sugar? #help

@ any chance you can send me the recording as well? Thank you SO MUCH!

What helped me see the irrelevance of (C) is to recognize what's already accounted for by the referential phrase "THIS RELATIONSHIP".

What relationship? Eating curries regularly and scoring higher on cognitive function tests.

We know that THIS RELATIONSHIP is strongest for the elderly Singapore residents. To expand that out, it means, elderly Singapore residents of Indian ethnicity eat curries MOST regularly and they received the HIGHEST scores on cognitive function tests (this is a simplification but it works...the real thing should be for every unit of increase in curries, the score increase is higher)

So we already know that these elderly Singapore residents of Indian ethnicity eat curries regularly.

(C) comes in to say that "you know what, most Indian Singaporeans eat curries regularly" - but we don't care about other Indian Singaporeans who are infants/children/teenagers/middle age adults/etc. Because our sample is ELDERLY people. So we only care about ELDERLY people.

Could someone break down answer choice (B)? #help

How is "A is symptomatic of B" in AC (B) same/different from "A indicates B" in AC (E)? Thanks!

How can we express answer choice (E) in terms of sufficiency/necessity? i.e., how can we turn a causal statement into a conditional diagram? #help

@ Hi there! Any chance you can share the checklist with me as well? You're a star!!! THANK YOU.

Does Stephanie also commit the error of circular reasoning? #help

It seems that she's saying "A is not sufficient to induce B because A would not necessarily induce B."

@ Thank you so much for taking the time to answer my questions, Raphael!!!

Sorry for being annoying, but I have two follow-up questions :)

After completing the CC, did you start PTs immediately, or did you drill to solidify knowledge and understanding before the PT phase? If so, how? I’d greatly appreciate some details in your study schedule!

How was your test day experience? Any unexpected glitches? Did your proctor interrupt you? What are some things we can prepare for to make sure the test day goes as smoothly as we can?

Big thank you!

Hi! How did you approach the order of the PTs? Did you save PTs intentionally knowing that you were probably going to take the test twice? I don’t want to burn through the PTs too quickly, but definitely hope to get sufficient practice and exposure before I go into the first real test AND save fresh ones in case I need to take the test again. Thank you in advance!!!
