Q8 - Vervet monkeys use different alarm

What I don't understand about this question is why Db is correct and A is not.

How does A not explain the difference in behavior among the monkeys?



Thanks!

Re: PT10, S4, Q9 - There is relatively little room

The way I reasoned this was the conclusion stated that in order to gain market share they would need to acquire their competitor. Answer C would weaken the argument by showing that in the past previous companies merging with a new one has shown not to work. Therefore companies buying their competito...

Re: PT16, S2, Q14 In 1980 Country A had

This is more of a question regarding attacking an assumption question rather then this question itself but is the reason why answer D is the correct answer because in the stimulus the GDP increase for Country A was explained for both 1980 & 1990 ( inflation) while there is no connection/explanat...

Re: PT10, S4, Q9 - There is relatively little room

Ahhh, that makes sense. One thing I don't understand though is that when a question asks you to weaken or strengthen ( in this case weaken) wouldn't we want new information to be brought in to help undermine the argument? Humor me, but why wouldn't profit levels undermine the argument? Why is it out...

Re: PT12, S2, G4 - A science student has exactly four flasks

Thank you so much for this! However I don't understand the question for number 18 which kind of makes it difficult to understand the reasoning you have laid out. Could you please clarify what exactly is the question asking? Are they asking for what the remaining three out of the four flasks would be...

Re: Maximum/minimum questions on Logic Games

Sorry I think I misunderstood the question and the rule "None of the three buys more than one portion of each kind of food" I thought that meant each person does not purchase 2 fruit cups or 2 hot dogs ... and with that I assumed that each person can buy up to 3 food items .. because the s...

PT 12 S2 Q15

How is A the correct answer and not E?

We know from the rules that Natasha buys a fruit cup and if Lara and Mendel have to buy exactly 2 food items then Lara - Shish/Hot Dog & Fruit Cup ( because she cannot buy a Pretzel)

Re: Maximum/minimum questions on Logic Games

I'm still not following, for example I am working on PT 12 S2 Q 12-17 and Q13, 14 and 17 involve max/min. What I don't understand is if the rules state that "None of the three buys more than one portion of each kind of food" how is it that we can have variables such as $3 be the lowest? an...

Conclusion vs. Subconclusion

I've found that in some stimulus there are two conclusions. How do you point out the primary conclusion from the subsidiary?

PT52, S3, Q20 - There are two ways to manage

Before I go on to explain the question, I'd like to point out something, in the same section (3) question 13 I feel like mirrors the same logic as 20 does. I was hoping I could get some clarification on that as well. Number 20 states: There are two ways to manage an existing transportation infrastru...

Q9 - There is relatively little

I'm having difficulty with this argument, mainly trying to understand it. What exactly are they trying to say here .. that companies that make carpets will only gain revenue by buying their competitors product or shares?

Re: PT 9, S3, Q 2-7

Thank you for the diagram that was helpful. However when doing the questions 4,5 and 7, my answers or the way I worked out the problems were different from what the answers actually are. For example #4 How is the answer 5 roses? I am counting only 4. If C2 and C3have the same flowers .. doesn't that...

Re: PT33, S4, G2 Bird-watchers explore a forest

For this game how is it that question 7 the answer is E.. what differentiates answer D from E ? And the same goes for question 8... what makes D correct and not E


One more thing : For question 11... if G is in the forest then W must be in the forest correct? So why is answer A correct and not B?

Logic Games : Linear Setup Practice Drill (Not a PT Q)

I hope this is allowed in this forum. I wasn't sure where else to put it. Although this is not a prep test question. In one of the workbooks I have for Logic Games, there is a practice question whose wording ended up me getting the question wrong. The question goes like this: Diagram a setup for the...

Re: PT52, S3, Q20 - There are two ways to manage

That makes perfect sense, it really cleared up a lot of tangled webs. One thing though I'd like to ask is when we're asked to bring in a new information that would explain/strengthen/weaken a question, how do we choose an answer that stays within the realm of the facts? How do we know that the best ...
