Q4 - It is more desirable

Why is (A) a better answer than (B)?

More specifically, what does (B) mean when it states that "there is no necessary condition" between the two factors?

Thanks!

Q25 - Because migrant workers are typically

I don't really understand the pattern of reasoning displayed in the stimulus... Is the author basically saying that the number of hours that an individual works per day should outweigh the temporary/permanent status of workers, and that's why the migrant workers should be paid minimum wage? It that'...

Q10 - Commercial passenger airplanes can be

I understand why answer choice (C) could be a correct answer to this necessary assumption problem; if you negate choice (C) to say the frequency of invalid warnings will cause pilots to IGNORE warnings, then the system itself becomes "useless" in maintaining the passengers' safety, thereby...

Q19 - The efficiency of microwave ovens

Why is answer choice D right instead of C? C says that adding salt to food can increase the danger of food poisoning - isn't this supported by the statements above? Salt effectively blocks microwaves from heating the inside, therefore not killing the bacteria, therefore increasing the chances of get...

Re: Q21 - Sociologist: Traditional norms in our

"traditional norms in our society prevent sincerity by requiring one to IUR and TSL"

so TN requires IUR and TSL, which thereby prevents sincerity.

therefore:

TN --> IUR and TSL --> ~S

therefore:

IUR and TSL --> ~S

Re: Q17 - A year ago the government

What about answer choice D? If you negate the answer choice: the speed limit was NOT more strictly enforced (meaning that it was either equally enforced or less enforced) than the old... then wouldn't this break down the argument that reducing speed limits reduces fatalities? because if it was equal...

Q16 - Dr. Kim: Electronic fetal monitors

I was struggling between answer choices B and C, and I was wondering what made B wrong and C right. Is B wrong because it only refers to the improving chances of a healthy baby ("information of a kind that is potentially useful in ensure that a healthy baby will be born") and leaves out th...

Re: Q19 - According to some astronomers, Earth

For answer choice A, isnt the author making a high probability for the meteorite strikes because he's assuming that because its been 100 million years that it should happen soon? (he's assuming that the probability of the meteorite strike occurring is affected by whether or not the event has occurre...

Re: Q21 - Although the geological record

so when negating these types of quantifying statements, do you negate the verb, the quantifier, or both?? Which is the correct logical opposition???? 1. [quantifier change] All A's are B's <--> NOT ALL A's are B's = some A's are not B's 2. [verb change] All A's are B's <--> All A's are N...

Re: Q17 - "Multiple use" refers to the utilization

So basically the reason why C is wrong is : even though designating land as a wilderness area doesn't violate/is consistent with MU-P, doesn't mean that designating land as a wilderness will necessarily guarantee that present and future needs will best be met through this method? any thoughts on thi...

Re: Q10 - A ring of gas emitting

Could someone please explain the function of the second sentence in this premise? Also, is E wrong because the stimulus only states that stationary black holes (if you equate not spinning to stationary) must have gas rings that cannot maintain an orbit so close to the black hole? From this statement...

Re: Q12 - Many nurseries sell fruit trees

Could you confirm if this is the reasoning for eliminating answer choice B? B) some SSM correctly labeled --> NOT suitable p/t but according to the last sentence, if something is correctly labeled, then it SHOULD be suitable. So therefore B's necessary statement does not match the necessary state...

Re: Q23

but wouldn't answer choice C have some validity because in the passage, lines 23-25 seem to indicate that they do have reproductive synchrony. And so if you added a pesticide that slowed down the mites' reproductive rate, wouldn't that break its synchrony with the predators?
