I chose “B”. A main conclusion is two things: 1, opinion and 2, whether it is supported. To test it, use “therefore” In this argument: Bevause “in real world, some people simply cannot pay as much as others”, “As a result, a price increase will allocate goods to the people with the most money, not t...

The author's conclusion of " defying the external forces of racism and bureaucracy and overcoming internal artistic and personal differences leads to a truly national black theater" can be supported by line 14- cities spread throughout the united states, but to me are more supported by the...

I see this question type as a necessary assumption. So i was looking for something like "The current principle do not allow parents with underage children to give fair representation for their children" in the answer choice, therefore I chose D

If you prephrase before going to answer choices, for example: " The author fails to consider the possibility that there were other effective method to prevent younger subjects to be affected by PCBs." "The argument takes a mere possible correlation to a causation.", then D seems ...

I chose "D" because, there is possibility that there is no overlapping between soil that contain clay only and soil that contain organic material only.

This strengthening question is difficult for me. At the first pass, no answer choice seemed right. I eventually chose E because the rest choice all seemed wrong. I prephrased the answer before went to the choices. "To judge who is a better movie reviewer is relying only on how many of his/her f...

I chose "E"

Before i was looking for the answer choices, I was looking for something :"Certain moral codes can be universal across different cultures.

I chose "C" because I prephrased " The author assumes that the studies 30 years ago could still apply for the current situation." "The author assumes that what was true 30 years ago remain true 30 years later. " "The author fails to consider that the current techno...

I chose C, I prephrased that "The author assumes that many fifty-year-olds lied in the research while most of twenty-year-olds who reported to have give blood didn’t lie about it", Also " The author assumes that giving blood is societal expectations. The author fails consider that tho...

I prephrase this one before going to the answer choice:
"Trojan War was a siege. "
Therefore, I chose "C".

Also, the conclusion "could not have" is quite strong wording, isn' it?

Determine the Function questions are famous for testing us on Intermediate Conclusions, so if you don't already think of them with that distinction, that will help. It's such a common correct answer, that any time you're looking at a supporting idea, you might ask yourself, "Is this merely a p...

The most important reasoning pattern in LR is correlation -> causality. correlation evidence: "most of the ppl (76%) that had magnet treatment had reduced pain" author's causal assumption/explanation: "the magnet treatment CAUSED the reduction in pain" our 2-pronged prephrase...

I think you're correct to say that how she was representing it was not conveying well the sequential nature of the events, but you wouldn't break those two things up with conditional arrows. You started using conditional arrows to imply chronology , but conditional arrows only imply certainty . We ...

For a ID principle questions, my understanding is that the reading goal is to find the core argument, then try to prephrase the principle before go to the answer choices. However, for this argument, my prephrase is “convenient --> flow of customers--> popularity AND ordinary food; so I was loo...

Why A is right? ? Why B is wrong? “ The only English language version of Alcestis drastically from the original in ways the Winter’s Tale does not”. How does this strengthen the conclusion that “ Shakespeare relying on a translation”? Is this because, the dramatic difference kind of proves that Shak...

Why is B wrong? “ The average personal garden is much smaller than it was decades ago when inexpensive produce started to become available”. So, can it be interpreted as “before the inexpensive produce – in another words, when the produce price was higher, the average personal garden was smaller”? S...

Why is D wrong? “ Historian cannot develop a reliable account of the religious attitudes held during any given historical period unless they have consulate all of the relevant surviving records from that period”. Is it wrong because “ the surviving records can be the record keepers”, therefore won’t...

I understand why C is correct. However, I still have trouble to understand why D is wrong. Is it wrong because of the wording "compare to"? So, if I change it to "The argument presumes, without providing justification, that theories about one type of art cannot be APPLIED to theories ...

When I read the stimulus, I thought this is a conditional argument, so I was trying to look for a missing link or some new information. But I can’t find any. Then I was trying to think of an objection to the argument, I couldn’t come up one. The correct answer is just negation of the conclusion. So ...

What do you categorize the argument? Conditional or Correlation & Causation? The reason that I asked is that it sets a different mentality to work on a necessary assumption. If it is first one, I will just anticipate an answer and look for the missing link (or new info); If it is the latter one,...
