Tackling this Q

Hello @MorganSchavone, I am not someone who diagrams heavily on the logical reasoning section. However, this is the exact type of question for which I find diagrams very helpful. I just can't keep all of this information together in my head. Once it is on paper, this stimulus is actually pretty simple. If you are not diagramming already, I think that you should on this type of question. If you are diagramming, but doing it slowly/incorrectly, I would focus on identifying sufficient and necessary statements when they aren't written explicitly in an if/then format. Practice with them until you are comfortable. In this case, words like "unless" and "without" indicate suf/nec reasoning. Here is how I did this one. not band together - - -> rezoning approved - - - - > construct apartments - - -> attract residents - - - -> prob crowded schools and certainly congested roads - - - > either way taxes increase I would use shorter abbreviations on my own but I'm not going to force you to decipher them. If anything along this chain occurs, then tax increases are inevitable. That is why B is the correct answer. Don't try to keep all of this information in your head. It is quicker to put it on paper.
