Highlights

We started class with a poll and a short discussion about closed vs. open question types. Many students mistakenly categorized Sufficient Assumption questions as “closed.” Nathan explained why these questions are always open to new evidence. The class then completed two sets of Logical Reasoning questions from PrepTest 94. We covered Must Be True, Strengthen (Except), Role, Paradox (Except), Necessary Assumption, and Weaken questions. Nathan demonstrated how to predict answers by attacking arguments. We wrapped up with a level-4 science passage and reviewed all the questions.

Tonight’s winners are Tatyana B and Louis R with 12/12 questions correct. Honorable mention goes to Matt D with 11/12.
