#PT94 - S2 - Q15

Can anyone explain options A and B? Many thanksss!

I'm also not sure about the flaw in the stimulus. In my understanding, the stimulus goes as:

I think the flaw in the stimulus is that it takes the illicit negation of the premise to support its conclusion. The conclusion implies that if one could gain some good from the incompetent or evil leaders, one would follow that leader (the illicit negation of the premise). This is why the incompetent or evil leaders bring some good to followers.

If my understanding is correct, I didn't find any similarity to the stimulus in both options A and B.

Unlikely — but is anyone in the Tokyo area studying for one of the upcoming international tests and interested in forming a semi-regular study group?

I live in Tokyo proper, but I’m sure anyone in Kanagawa, Saitama and Chiba could get into the metro area quite easily.

If you’re not in the Tokyo area but in Japan, please still reach out! I’m open to online studying as well if no one is around locally.

My plan is to take the October test.

My app was placed on "reserve" which I don't know if its a fancy or nice way of saying waitlisted. Either way they gave me 2 weeks to upload a LOCI. I applied late in the cycle so not much new achievements to mention, and I already wrote a Why Essay. Should I reiterate or expand on those points again in the LOCI? What additional info should I include, and how long should it be? I read the 7sage articles but wanted some additional info.
