i read the entire post about answer choice A and D. Although, I still did not understand the explanations above. After through analysis of why I had eliminated A, I realized whatever way you attack A, it will still weaken the author's point and strengthen the doctors belief which is the side we want...

The first time I did this question, I picked C and I really struggled with all the other answers. I did not see the incorrect reversal that is pointed out on this forum until I approached this forum. The second time I did this problem, I did not struggle at all and got picked E (before I checked the...

A couple of things, the correct answer is not (E), but rather (D). Maybe that helps already, but let's take a look at this one. The argument's conclusion is that if this result can be repeated in an operational setting, then there will be a way of giving access to those people who are entitled to a...

I am SOOO confused about question #20. Why can't we place Y for $15 on Wend. and Z for $12 on Friday and obviously X can go on Thursday.
This would satisfy the fact that Wend. is more than Friday. After all, Wend can be $12 or $15 and Friday can be $10 or $12.

I don't understand what the word "average" in answer choice B is for. The only time average was mentioned was about the average amount programmers get paid. what is average seniority?

Can someone explain B? I picked this answer choice because I thought it doesn't really do anything to the argument - weaken nor strengthen, which as I learned in my Manhatten LR 4th edition is what I am supposed to be looking for in the EXCEPT question types. The argument core is: the stocks recomme...

I read the discussions and although I find them helpful, I am still not certain why E is wrong. Here is what I thought: water that contains 250+ milligrams of dissolved salt per liter tastes too salty. Therefore, continuing the salting of Albritten's road AT ITS PRESENT RATE will render Albritten's ...

I see how D is corrrect, but I have a hard time eliminating A. I know that awarness does not have anything to do with the statement "...behavior that cannot be controlled is a much better clue..." but couldn't you say that implies the person can control their emotions and facial muscles? o...

I initially selected B because if the system requires only high school grads then it would weaken the argument that they recruit drop outs. However, during review, I saw the word "many" and I knew that I had made a mistake picking B. However, what if B said, "the high-technology syste...

In this stimulus, it looks like only the 2nd and last sentence are important to arrive to D III = investment towards improving infrastructure RSL = rise in standard of living 2nd sentence investment towards improving infrastructure, then rise in standard of living III --> RSL Therefore, rise in s...

I elimated (D) because it talked about "any given species" but we only know about small & large animal species

thank you for the explanations. It raises a question for me in regards to weakening questions. On weakening questions I have sometimes came across answer choices that seem to just disprove the conclusion or premise and another answer choice that weakens it (casts a bit doubt on the conclusion or pre...

I came across this problem in my homework assignment and I have no idea why but for some reason the prep-course company has listed it under Weakning questions even though this is flaw question. Anyway the point is, I chose B when I was between B and C. C seemed incorrect to me because its about the ...

so does disprove mean that they compeletly prove it to be false?

can you give me an example of disproving and weakning because i feel as though they are the same.

hi, I first picked C for this but then when I was reviewing the questions before I check the answer key sheet, I decided E would be a better second choice because the "better scientific explanations" was a red flag since he was talking more about pyschology and did not compare explanations...

So I got the same argument core, we will need the medical knowledge about the limits of human capacities to live in spacecraft for an extended time --> building a space station is essential I understand that I need to focus on what is connecting these two statments (the assumtion or --->) but ...

I thought the second sentence is the conclusion and last sentence in. conclusion. I even applied the THEREFORE test 1) This view ignores the crucial distinction between the private consumer and the public citizen THEREFORE Supporters of political democracy can also support marketplace regulations. 2...

Please tell me if my reasoning for elimination is right Even though it is a main point argument, I approach it like a Must Be True (like in inference questions). A) is a fact given to support first sentences. In short, premise. C) Premise D) the only thing mentioned about common sense is in the last...

im still confused on how B is wrong. If the argument is telling us that space station is essential BECAUSE we need the knowledge of human capacity then wouldn't that mean that capacity of astronauts is the same as ordinary human beings? this is the only way we can say space station is essential.

I don't even understand why people are writing this out in logical format. You are wasting time by doing that because you can easily get this by process of elimination, which is helpful for must be true question types. B) incorrect negation of first sentence. Eliminate C) it's offensive for governme...
