(B) Banks do best when offering special privileges only to their most loyal customers. The conclusion of the argument is that offering various services to new customers at no charge is not an ideal business practice on the premise that they're excluding the bulk of their customers. (B) strengthens b...

This might be dangerous in some situations, but instead of doing the potential answers in order, I attacked the problem by first stepping back and looking at the answer choices. Picking between W and G was especially notable to me...one has to be picked and R has no implication on either. Picking W ...

Literally had to look at this for four minutes when I just took this test. Completely missed the conditional idea at first (idiotic, I know) and that the question stem is sort of misleading. It's a flaw question, but one that sort of asks you to make inferences for a conclusion. The crucial conditio...

Let me try to take a stab at this one, as working it out on paper may help my understanding, too. I got this wrong when preptesting, for the record, but know why I got it wrong. First of all, one reason why this is tricky is that the order of premises/conclusion in the stimulus is different from the...

Conclusion: "Publishers, more than ever, are more interested in making $ than in publishing books of intrinsic value." I chose (C), which basically says that books in the past w/ intrinsic value often unexpectedly made $. I understand why (B) is right, but I chose to attack the conclusion ...

(E) was the most tempting wrong answer to me. It's wrong because just because the tools did not require their users to stand upright does NOT mean that the users didn't stand upright while using them. It doesn't necessarily show advanced tools used w/out standing upright, like (B) does. My issue wit...

(B) is definitely a "defender" (if you use powerscore) type necessary assumption. I misread the stimulus and picked it...if you negate it, as the previous poster said, the argument doesn't work. But obviously, the question isn't asking for a necessary assumption.

(E)'s sufficient clause (modernizing only one of several similar instances of quoted punc) is also not in the stimulus. Read the sentence starting with "However" closely. The sufficient condition is one where there is similar modernizing in more than one quotation. The answer choice states...

The stim states clearly that it's CASE-STUDY assignments that are on the network. That's not a book. But the conclusion concludes that BOOKS delivered via computer won't make printed books obsolete. (A) I found it to be too weak in the sense that it doesn't ever touch on anything that is a book. The...

(A): it doesn't establish that there will be more complaints, only that the appeal procedure will exist after the given process. Not an assumption needed at all.

Struggling on this one. The issue I had with (D) was that the passages clearly states that lichen grow very slowly "slow but constant rate for as long as 1000 years" and that one particular NA species grew at 9.5 mm per century. Okay, so the 9.5 mm species is only ONE species, but they did...
