Ya you're not alone Fry. I'm pretty sure that RC gored everyone itt
Yea so I've read. I also went -6 on a pretty easy games section which I'm actually much more unhappy about. It just felt like a better complaint than magazine interns in Tuscany.

Just not thinking clearly enough today.

Got to PT23 S3 Q10 in my Cambridge LR Difficulty packet today. It's the nonmoving cars one that I've read about so often on here, so I knew what the answer was. But sitting there I just couldn't justify B (the nonmoving running vehiciles answer) to myself. Any help? I selected E after eliminated all except for B, which I would have eliminated without knowing it was the answer.

ETA: Nevermind, found a good answer through the search function. Definitely makes sense, but I wouldn't have made the logical connection during a real test.

Sure, so it's a strengthen question. The prompt tells us that if a person decides to walk instead of driving there is "one less vehicle emitting pollution." It concludes that if people were to walk whenever it was feasible for them to do so then "pollution [would] be greatly reduced."

Sometimes with LR I like to start reading choices from the bottom.

(E) This weakens the argument.

(D) Who Cares? This is irrelevant to the conclusion.

(C ) Okay? This certainly doesn't strengthen the argument.

(B) Hmmm. So cars in gridlock produce less emissions than cars free to move quickly done the highway (that makes sense) but the more cars there are on the road the greater the congestion there is. So the more cars on the road the more pollution caused. This falls in nicely to our argument. For if many of those people walked instead of drove ---> less cars on the road --> less congestion ---> less pollution.

This strengthens the argument.

(A) this weakens the argument.
Is it in the strengthen packet

"Going to see the colonel" sounds like a euphemism for something naughty. I'm probably just thinking of the old Christopher Walken skit on SNL. #old
