Knowing how to label

Hi @vkaszu, thanks for your post. It's all about context here. Please note that the Book Review says "when I read a novel set *in a city I know well.*" Because of this, we know that we are only talking about cities with which the book reviewer *is* familiar. If the writer is faking, in this context, it means that the writer does *not* know the city as well as the book reviewer. Hope this helps!

It doesn't really help unfortunately even tough it logically makes sense. It is hard to know when exactly we are supposed to translate new premises into words that are linked to previous premises and when to label entirely new premises. I made the same mistake as this person and I don't see how not to make it in the future....Help!

I need a demonstration on how you guys actually approach this question because I understand all the diagramming and how to get to the correct answer 99% of the time but i am in no way seeing how this is done in 1:24 I literally read the passage the question stem and two answers and 1:24 is gone without even diagramming anything.

This question is saying that the reviewer wants a writer to know a city at least as well as they do, and in this book, that is accomplished. We can infer that the author knows the city at least as well as the reviewer, or at least that the reviewer believes this to be true. Does that make sense?

I'm with @wyatt here. Can we get that demonstration, please?

@Wyatt @BriBell12 do NOT worry about timing when you are first getting started. You will actually slow down as you try to apply new strategies/techniques. As you get more comfortable by relentlessly practicing, your timing will naturally improve. We also ask you to diagram everything right now to ensure that you get to a point where you understand the rules of S & N like the back of your hand. This does not mean you will be diagramming everything on exam day. Trust in the process. Hope that helps!
