Q

If the statements above are true, which one of the following must also be true?

A

Identify the entailment/ must be true

Task:
-Identify a guaranteed entailment that follows logically from the a combination of the provide facts

Try the Truth Test–> ask does the statement have to be true, based on the facts

Look for strong (all, must, ever, everyone) and weak language (some, many, sometimes, usually)

Look for conditional statements–> Diagram them, and do the logically equivalent… make sure the last term goes firsts. TIP: the logic can only process the direction of the arrow (L-R), not against.

Look for relationships: Does X connect to Y, which connects with Z? You can predict that X connects with Z.

Q

Which one of the following, if true, most supports the argument above?

A

Strengthen

  1. Identify the conclusion and support
  2. Identify the gap: is there a gap in scope between
    support and conclusion? does the topic shift?
  3. Identify any common patterns: If the conclusion is causal in nature (X cause Y), a common strengthener might be an affirmation that the study was appropriate and relevant
  4. test each choice by adding to the original support, it should improve

*No effect can be correct on EXCEPT questions
Strengthen Except: Either weekend of no effect
Weaken Except: either strengthen or no effect

Q

Which one of the following is most supported by the information above?

A

Strongly Supported Inferences

  1. Understand the passage
    • look for relationships: Does X connect with Y, which connects with Z?
    • diagram conditional statements
    • note strong language (All, must, any, ever)
    • note weak language (some, may, many, sometimes)
  2. test the choices
    • Ask “is it supported”?

Common wrong choices:

  • Too strong/extreme–> goes beyond the truth of the passage
  • Probably/might be true–> might be true but we can’t for 100% be certain from the info provided

Q

The reasoning in the argument is flawed because the argument

A

Identify the Flaw

Assume the argument is defective in some way, and the answer will be a description of something thats wrong with the argument.

  1. Identify the conclusion and premises

Do a quick check for common fallacies:

  • mistakenly assuming causation when two events are only correlated? (Cause/correlation)
  • is the arguer jumping to conclusions about a larger group of people than the ones being discussed in the support?
  • Is the arguer attacking someone’s opinion just because that persons character is questionable?
  • does the arguer discuss one topic in the support and then draw a conclusion about a different topic?
  1. Describe the disconnect in own words
    - between conclusion and premise
    -what might you rebut?
    Tip: Look for bonus language “ The argument fails to rule out he possibility that”…

“Failed to” or “overlooked” Q’s
- to test whether the choice is correct, analyze the “something” that is cited. Would the argument be sound I the arguer had addressed it? if yes, then you have the answer. If no, then its wrong.
