So the premise asserts A --> B. The conclusion asserts C --> B. So now lets make a statement: If all C's are A's (this is the missing premise) then that looks like this C --> A .... add this to chain up A --> B (the A's overlap and y…

Yes the total number of shopping line occupants is coincidental (like a snapshot in time). They took two snapshots 1. before ad aired - less people bought product to be advertised. 2. Within 40 min of air…
Ok. Lets plug in some numbers to better see what happens in ac-A. During the study, for most advertisements (lets say 6 out of 10 ads) more people (50) went through the checkout lines after they aired than (25) before they were aired. What do thes…
It's a probability thing. Not a total # of shoppers in line. Regardless of whether it was 5 people or 50, after the advertisement (for 40 min) the percentage of "advertised product buyers" increased. After all this type of study doesn't seem like yo…
"democracy is No Improvement over monarchy" seems quite well to parallel "there is No Point in asking the club, yada yada".

Good point. The Qstem just asks for a principle to "most support argument". It seems ultimately we end up missing a statement which would make this a "valid" argument, …

Indeed but do you see the mental gymnastics you have to do to get there? C is a clear and reasonable conclusion.
Well you are right to debate between C/D but remember this is a MSS. So one answer choice will definitely outweigh the other. I love your consideration that a spectator might have a preference. But who is more likely to remember the detailed speech …
The important thing here to realize is that

You are right. Without that term the answer would be the same. I don't know for sure whether it was the writers' intention to throw us off... but yeah... probably.
This is a tough question because it requires quick assessment of the math involved. On 7sage %46 of takers got it wrong. I like to imagine a regular six sided die but instead of a number 6 you replace with another 5. Now you have a %33 chance of rol…
The "sizable subgroup" this ac refers to (in lawgic terms) would be /M --> /C . Which is actually the contrapositive of the scientists conclusion C --> M . But... the idea that the reporter presumes anything like there not being a "sizable …
