Verbal Question of the Day Chat Group

What do you think is the premise of passage and the conclusion of the passage?

Premise: Rebecca lost 2 times and Voters survey revealed they are not aware of qualifications

Conclusion: Compaign adjusting to make aware of qualifications so that She will win elections this time

Premise is basically the reason why the author is arriving at the conclusion.
Here the conclusion, which can be clearly identified by the conclusion marker "therefore", is that Rebecca will win next time.

So why is the author saying that she will win?
Because the political consultant is going to make sure that people are aware that Rebecca is the most qualified

Now do you see a gap between the premise and the conclusion?

Yeah I do so the gap is Voters must be aware about qualifications in other words they consider qualifications

Is it?

Now I understood in this way,

Even though if Voters are aware of qualifications, if they don’t consider them, no use of compaign and consultant argument falls apart

Am I correct?

Thanks a lot. Appreciating you and consultant as well ( for making Rebecca to win)

Hello peers and Mentors,
I am new to this group. When will answers be available for question of the day?

If you mean the answers to the butler questions, they are published the next day.

Hi guys, I really need your help! I have been practicing a lot of reading comprehensions and I just cannot get consistently correct, I get the very hard questions right but many times I make a mistake in the details of the questions or options, please share your opinion on how can I improve

Sometimes I get very hard questions right but miss the details in medium questions*

Would you help understand exactly what type of questions are you getting wrong?

Is it the primary purpose/main idea, inference type questions or if true questions

Mainly when I cannot get the clear idea about the question or the idea the question asks about I get it wrong, and if I understand that I get the question correct no matter the difficulty

Around 70% of wrong questions they are of inference based and 30% percent of if true questions

a) Try and really read the passage thoroughly, even if you do not gauge the entire meaning, try and get an idea of what the passage is trying to tell you. This includes the conclusion and the author’s opinion.
b) When it comes to inference questions what helps is to look for what the question is asking you and redirect yourself to the exact part of the passage that might have the answer.
For example - if the question says What would the author most likely agree with?
You would then redirect yourself to the part of the passage where the author might have stated a personal
opinion or reached a conclusion.

Usually with inference questions, the answer is given verbatim in the passage. You just have to know where to look based on the question.

I hope this helps, in case you have any specific doubts I’d be more than happy to help

If true questions are just CR, so the more you do weaken and strengthen these will seem a lot easier on RC

Thankyou very much for your support and valuable suggestions, grateful for your guidance

Someone please explain this

Here ’E’ is eliminating the possible reverse relationship between the enzyme and the performance and therefore, solidifying the cause - effect relationship.

Can anyone explain this one?

It’s from TTP
