I just have a follow up question about question 13 in this game. If Z was the 2nd suspect to confess, then the ordering has to be so: Y - Z - T - (X,V) - W - S The question stem asks what could be true EXCEPT. The correct answer is E, "Y did not confess". Why does it have to be true that Y...

Z was the second suspect to CONFESS!! Duh. I feel so stupid sometimes. Thanks for clearing that up :-) You're right, if I had tracked the C's and NC's better I would've spotted that immediately. In answer to your question: If V is the suspect who does NOT confess, he would be in the 4th slot, and X ...

I'd chosen B here because it seemed to attack one of the premises. If most of the pesticides that are shipped abroad are not banned, wouldn't those pesticides be relatively innocuous and therefore not pose a health risk to US consumers? Could this answer be wrong precisely because it goes against a ...

I couldn't make head nor tail of this one. All I could muster was this formal logic chart: if instructions are available --> consumer can put the product together much easier The question asks which would provide a principle that would most weaken the consumer advocate's argument. I'd chosen A, w...

I drew a little diagram for this one. The first thing I felt puzzled about was why temperatures seemed to be warmer over the poles than over the equator. Am I not getting the correct meaning of the word "ranges"? Are they referring to a range of -50 degrees WITHIN the troposphere over the ...

I'd chosen A for this one originally because it provided the "well-being" clause that was missing from the conclusion. I get why it is wrong now--"only" is too strong? I'm just puzzled as to why it's D. "At least some children would benefit from high-quality day care" d...

I'd answered B for this one. Can someone please tell me why C is the correct answer? I thought the right answer had to somehow point out the flaw of attributing heart disease to lipoprotein (a), bolstered by the fact that dietary changes had no effect on lipoprotein (a) levels. The discussion merely...

I was down to A and D but became confused as to the subtle differences between the two. Can someone help me spell out the differences between the 2 choices? It seems like both answer options talk about democracy being either a necessary or sufficient condition of political freedom.

Thanks!!

I got the inference of this game and managed to answer 3 out of the 5 questions, but Q24 really stumped me (I went back and figured out Q22). I think it's esp tricky because it's a "could be true" question, so I tried each answer choice and none seemed to work, or all did! I worked backwar...

Try as I might, I could not find the portion in the passage the supports (C), "They [Aurignacians] had established some highly specialized social roles." Didn't that opinion belong to the anthropologists that the author refutes in the 2nd para?

I understood that this argument is flawed because it deduces a condition true for "most" people out of a sample that is not necessarily representative. But then I had trouble seeing how B could be the correct answer. How does that even factor into the argument? I'd picked D because it seem...

I don't understand how question 21 works. We are trying to fit 6 grants into 4 slots, and each slot has at least one grant in it, so aren't the only possible distributions as follows:
1-1-2-2
or 1-1-1-3

So how is it possible that you can have exactly 2 grants in JUST ONE of the four quarters?
