This question took me a lot of time but i still dont get why A is the answer because in A arent we affirming the consequent which is a conditional logic error ( if x then y - all poor then honest ; if y then x - all honest if poor )???
Can someone explain their reasoning for the right answer? I have a general intuition as to why this is correct, but am having a difficult time articulating it to myself. Thanks so much! #HELP
For this question, I conceived the flaw to be"from correlation to causation, and thus to prescriptive assertion". I was threw off by E at my first sight for its first premise "most people who exercise regularly are able to handle stress."
Aren't there two main ways to weaken an argument? Either by going for the premises (contradicting them) or showing why the conclusion doesn't necessarily follow from them? I thought C did the first, but now I am having doubts. The stimulus concludes that ...
I chose E and was very confident about it on both timed run and BR. My reasoning was, the first premise is talking about "legislation," and the conclusion is about a "trade agreement." I thought it was super vague whether a trade agreement should be ...
I've been using the negation test as I go through the answer choices. I've been able to pinpoint why E is correct and why most of the other answer choices are wrong, except for answer choice C. I don't understand what I'm missing, ...
Is the idea that this is a one premise argument where answer choice (A) just contraposes to the desired conclusion? That is, are we to assume that "All rich farmers are dishonest" and "Every honest farmer is poor" are logically equivalent, and that "Every ...
I was between D and E, and ended up choosing E. I can see why D is correct, but why is E wrong? I thought "directive" used in this context could be used as compelling the society to unite whereas "guiding" seemed a bit weak in comparison.
This passage talks about the baroque period and im unsure why the answer is guiding instead of compelling. There was no explanation available. It asks you to identify the meaning of the word directive. I feel like the passage implies that it is more ...
Hello!
Could anyone explain to me why answer choice B doesn't mimic the flaw in the stimulus like answer choice C does? I watched the video and spent some time with it on my own, but I am still lost! This is the question on artificial sweetener and ...

I read this as...a statement (ie the context) is shown to be false by showing that it directly contradicts a second statement (Premise 2) that is taken to be true.
