Cannot Be True Question Types

Started by EmilyMarieMenendez · started 2018-07-16 22:14 · last activity 2018-07-20 13:13 · 3 replies

Hi, I've noticed that in the Cannot Be True question types section, S and N are not super helpful or needed to break down the answers or passage. However, I am not sure if it is a good idea to eliminate the S and N process since during a Logic Games section the questions will be mixed, correct? Any tips as to how to identify whether or not to move forward with the S and N process when answering questions? Thanks, Emily

    S & N are not necessarily helpful for eliminating the "could be true" if you look at examples, a lot of correct answer choices are explained by stating that there is no information in the passage to disprove what could be true. The correct answer choice, when combined with S&N logical reasoning can without a shadow of a doubt be disproved and therefore cannot be true.

    @EmilyMarieMenendez Sometimes, you don't need S & N to break down a question and find the answer! But I wouldn't eliminate the process, just becoming familiar with when you need it and when you don't. Importantly, as @teddyteddted pointed out, even if you don't use S & N to find your guess at the answer, it can often help you guarantee it's correct.
