Excellent explanation! Greatly simplifies the blueprint for these questions.

I can’t appreciate this video more as the “men/dog strategy” helps me so much to think before referring the options which used to mislead me. Thanks again for sharing the strategy!

One word this was awesome and covers most of the Cr concepts on GMAT, or at least lays the fundamental to the the GMAT CR questions

Hi Brian, I didn't quite understand how did you substitute 'not significantly higher' with 'almost equal'. Well it can still be 'higher' and not 'significantly higher'.

Thank you for this lecture!

So the 2nd question's answer is ?

[@animeshkaran5659]

in the third question, the gap that popped in my mind was that the percentage arrested is not equal to the effectiveness of programs isn't this a gap??

[@vijis758]

loved the video. Does this technique also work for inference, must be true and draw the conclusion type questions?

[@animeshkaran5659]

in the 2nd question i eliminated ans (C) because it does not agrees with the premises because the premises says fossils were found and C says it does not. was that a fair elimination????

[@PetrFrolkin]

I chose C on the 2nd ? because it makes those bones > 2 million years old. Am I wrong?

[@DeepSingh-px7th]

Do you know what is the real problem with critical reasoning? in 3:00 the role is 2 facts and valid conclusion, right? Just quick note, this line of logic, despite its legitimacy to our minds, it has a flaw and was criticised by sophists but why? In this example the 2 facts given are very agreeable by all of us. all men are blah, John is a man, then john is a blah. But what is one is fact and the other is not too sure fact? or what define facts.. to clarify take this example: In my country, Ghost (genie) can live inside us. this is considered to be a fact in many muslim countries (i don't believe it tho) once a genie inside you, he can control your behavior. John is a man all men can be controlled by genie so, John can be dominated by genie you see my point? so the question is how can we identify a fact? that's the problem because no one knows every fact out there, or how can make sure this is a fact or has a measure to ensure that. In the GMAT, one way or another, you might face the same issue without knowing how to address the key to it. is this a fact to draw a conclusion from it?

You must think about your surroundings and the environment you're in. The GMAT a test that is trying to eliminate all outside "noise" that could interfere with the subject being tested to get accurate results. The real world is too complex to "test" so you are given a scenario and you must make a decision about this scenario based on the information given and general reasoning. This scenario is not meant to be proven right or wrong. The scenario is meant to be a fork in the road with five paths of which you must take the best one. Good Luck!
