Highlights

Class opened with a general discussion about how to decipher convoluted wording and how to identify flawed arguments in Logical Reasoning.

Ben explained words that mean some, most, and all on a Must Be True question. He added that while universal claims are generally harder to prove, we shouldn’t dismiss answers merely because they’re strongly worded. We also reviewed Weaken, Paradox, Flaw, and Parallel Flaw questions. Ben explained the difference between passage-driven and answer-driven question types.

After class, Ben answered questions about how to review mistakes and advised students to drill using Demon’s Choice.
