I was thinking B instead.

1 is Insuff as it gives no info on % of day 2
2 is sufficient.

Day 1 = .1X did not attend
Day 2 = .2X did not attend.

So what % did not attend on both days.
30% did not attend.. Although I am not too sure if my methodology is right.

I found it really tough as well.

So tough, that I just got depressed and left studying from the CR Bible. So now I'm just concentrating on the OG and the questions posted on the forum.

I would say E: E clearly states that if the fishing were restricted, then the industry would inturn reveal the number of dead seabirds. The last premise: The industry would then have a reason to turn in the bird carcasses, since the industry needs to know whether the fish it catches are contaminated...

Hi, I'm not too sure but I think it cannot be "B" because: Traffic congestion is so heavy on all roads that, even on major highways where the maximum speed limit is 55 miles per hour, the actual speed averages only 35 miles per hour. So new businesses should be encouraged to locate closer ...

gmatrant:

It's not D, because D is just the premise worded differently.

I initially was thinking the same when I did the problem, but in CR's if the premise is part of the solution, it's usually worded differently and is always the wrong answer.

Me 2... Not sure how C is the OA.

Just because they sell more coffee doesn't show a flaw in the argument.

I guess it all depends on your study schedule and the time you allot to study for the exam.

There are quite a few posts on the forum regarding this.
