Here is why "A" is incorrect: "A" states that "Previous estimates of the size of the existing wild cheetah population were inaccurate." Here's why I thought it was previously correct: Passage states that "Previous estimates of the size that the wild cheetah populat...

@anjelica.grace Very interesting point. "Is there an implied necessity assigned to bacilli?" Yes. To get strep throat, you need strep bacilli and a run down host. Both are necessary. "It would be wrong to conclude that a person has Strep infection if there is evidence to the fact that...

"finding a claim to be false on the grounds that it would if true have consequences that are false" This is misleading because it can be interpreted that the consequences would be false if the claim about the herbs were true. "finding a claim to be false on the grounds that it would i...

Conclusion: Additional restrictions should be placed on driver's licenses of teenagers Premise/Sub-Conclusion: ...teenagers lack basic driving skills.

How do you know that Helen is not the smartest person in the world and a trained philosopher? Helen could be a Supreme Court Justice for all we know. But we don't. You can't assume that.

I chose B but I'm wondering why D is wrong from the perspective that it reads: "...computer confiscated from an importer whom they suspected of smuggling." I understand that his computer was typically used during his legitimate business, but typically leaves it open that he used it for smu...
