thank you!

We are looking for an answer that must be true, and anything that CBT, CBF or MBF is the wrong answer. The stimulus tells us: - scientists estimate the mass of the comets by their brightness - the material of which Halley's comet reflects 60 t…

Hi there, harder LR has a lot to do with cutting out the "noise." In any LR question, no matter the difficulty, if you can articulate the assumption/inference then you can easily spot the right answer. Now, the LSAC has found ways to make this harde…

Conclusion: The manufacturer avoided the dilemma created by manufacturing a more fuel efficient, lighter, less safe vehicle for highspeed highways. How? Premise: By offering customers two types of vehicles: a lighter fuel-efficient car for local t…

D is wrong because the principle in each argument relies on the "peril" factor - at what point during the sinking process can a ship be considered in peril? The archeologist doesn't believe the maritime law applies because an ancient shipwreck does …

Hi there so C says that murders were more likely to be reported now than they were in 1970 - if this is the case then this would actually weaken the citizen's argument as it could lead one to suggest that there were potentially more murders in 1970 …

MSS: Only right answer is an MBT, all wrong answers CBT, CBF, and MBF. (C) at best this could be true/could be false. They are deterred simply by mutually assured destruction; this prevents the first blow. We don't know anything beyond that. (D) …

Conclusion: there have been spacecraft sighed near Earth that are extraterrestrial in origin. Why? Premise: (Because) requests for information by civilian researchers are brushed aside. Assumption: If the government is not forthcoming with releva…

When you are dealing with a MSS, you may or may not be dealing with an argument. In this case, there is no argument, so there is not "conclusion" - we have general idea (so, yes, the first sentence) presented and a description of how Japan and Europ…

Hi there so let's review the basics of MSS: We are looking for what must be true and anything that could be true/could be false/ must be false are the wrong answers. What we determine as must be true vs CBT/CBF/MBF is dictated explicitly by the st…

Only X, Y, and Z are known to have inhabited that area. What we know is not necessarily indicative of what is actually true, there could be long lost civilizations within that area that we simply cannot account for. But of all the ones we know, only…

Consider what sort of argument the author is making so we can preface the sort of assumptions that come with it. The author is making a proposal. Assumptions tied to a proposal: (1) action is imperative (we must do something, and doing nothing is no…
-
On a basic level, the author is saying that the correlation does not necessarily allude to causation. They support this argument by saying that rather than A caused B that it is equally possible that B caused A.

Conclusion: the coming economic recovery will surely be strong. Why? Premise: (Because) we should believe the investment company's economists over leading academic economists and the despite what the academic economists say, the investment company…

Ill be honest, the curriculum on RC is not great here but from my experience an inference question on RC is equivalent to a MBT on LR, so some wrong answers CBT/CBF and only one MBT. For recognition questions, I recommend tackling first as the info…

principle: act responsibly --> acted on the basis of information that one has made an effort to make sure is accurate and complete. C) did not make an effort to make sure information is accurate and complete --> did not act responsibly looks…

"Most but not all of the third-floor offices are larger than the ones on the second floor." So that means some third-floor offices are smaller than or equal to the offices on the second floor. "Fourth-floor offices are all larger than any office o…

Hi Caya, Both arguments deal with probabilities relating to automobile safety. McBride says: when a subcompact and a full-size car collide, the people in the subcompact are more likely to be seriously injured than if theirs has also been a full-si…

Here is why C is right: not every university classes exposes students to a wide range of ideas. Ramona would agree with C: "To many students miss [exposure to a wide range of ideas] because they choose technical majors only." Martin would agree wi…

passages that get labeled abstract are typically ones that happen to have a MC that is not clearly stated or put towards the end of the passage. When you are reading any passage, it is important that you read with the main point in mind - anything a…

Hi there, So, with any flaw, strengthen and weakening question, we should preface the assumptions before moving onto the answer choices. Taking the extra time to figure the assumptions out will ultimately save us time overall. I think its easiest …
-
If something is legally permissible, then its either permissible because the law explicitly says so or there is no law stating it is impermissible. So "A" must be false because if you believe that it is impossible for something legally permissible …

Conclusion: Western diets better protect against cerebral hemorrhages than non-Western diets. Why? Premise: (Because) low blood cholesterol weakens artery walls making them prone to cerebral hemorrhages. Assumption: Western diets induce a higher …

The author states that the beetles are motionless for hours at a time but are more active during wet years than dry years. They use this fact to justify the claim that even though more were spotted in 1985 than in 1989 that the population did not ne…

you don't need outside knowledge to get this right; you just need to spot the assumption the author is making. For any questions on flaws, strengthening or weakening, you should have a grasp of the author's assumptions before heading to answers. I p…

fortunately, I can promise you that you will rarely run into questions like this in the future so don't put too much stock into it. had this come up in test taking conditions I would have flagged and skipped, that would be the soundest approach. The…

Let's break down the argument: Conclusion: Although many 17th century broadsides were moralizing in nature, this is not evidence that most 17th century people were serious about moral values. Why? Premise: (Because) it is not known why people bou…

So, let's break down the stimulus first. Conclusion: companies founded by groups are more likely to succeed then those founded by individuals. Why? Premise: (because) It is unlikely that a single individual can provide adequate funding and be ski…

For any inference questions the right answer must be true whereas the wrong answers range from could be true, could be false and must be false. So here are the facts: the western lake has a male:female ration of 55:45 whereas the eastern lake has …
