Is A also wrong because it has the word 'most' in it, which is too strong?

Thx

Trying to provide another perspective, in the question stem, premises never use word that indicates uncertainty. But in the conclusion, 'probably' is mentioned. For answer choice B, D, and E, the word 'probably' is mentioned in the premises, so eliminated. For answer choice A, the premise uses the w...

Good call! Principle Support questions don't HAVE to give us a Sufficient Assumption. We tend to expect that they will because most of them do. But look at the question stem: it doesn't say "which principle makes the conclusion follow logically" (a la Sufficient Assumption). It just says ...

I was just wondering...isn't this a illegal negation? So, Stimulus: If fragmentation occurs, more mice, more disease, D: If NOT fragmentation occurs, less mice, less disease... Is D acceptable because it says "can"? I have the same question initially. But I guess the conditional/causal lo...

I got this one right but upon reviewing, it got me thinking a bit more. What if, even with the significant pay raise for Acme employees, they STILL CAN'T afford to live within 30-min of Ocean View? If I understand assumption negation correctly, the negation will effectively destroy the argument; ne...

Hi: I ended up going with A on this one instead of D. The reason I felt that this was the correct answer stemmed from the part in D where it states "against an alternative theory." This made me think that the two were purportedly in conflict with one another, when that's not the case per ...

In a causal reasoning there are several ways in which you can weaken the causal argument 1. Cause but no effect 2. Effect but no cause 3. Reversed relationship (Usually the answer when premise states correlation) 4. 3rd variable that is the cause of both stated cause&effect 5. The whole experim...

I did this question wrong because I take "those who regularly use papercrete are familiar with the properties of the material" as a premise instead of an intermediary conclusion. I don't think this statement is supported by any information in the stimulus. Any thought? coco.wu1993 , I hav...

"As long as" means "only if" and precedes a necessary condition. Then why does it matches (D) which is about " if they know what the change will bring, then they do not fear" rather than "they do not fear only if they know what the changes will bring?" "...
