Option D is the correct answer. 6 The argument talks about the importance of campus journalism being wholeheartedly practised. Option B can strengthen the argument but not to its fullest extent since it fixates on a long-term impact. At best, it can support all other arguments. Option C is a conditional statement that does not really make the argument better since it focuses on an internal change within the authors. Option D negates the argument. Only Option A captures the need for campus journalism as an integral part of future press freedom and why developing the students’ skills in journalism gives out the best in them, from the school to the society. It also best links the main argument to Option B, hence without it, Option B would not make sense. Option A is the correct answer. 7 Joy’s response was a pragmatic defect where her given evidence can only be considered true if her premise is also true. Joy basically started her reasoning with what she was trying to end with. She committed a circular reasoning fallacy where there is a repetition of the same assertion. Option B is the correct answer. 8 The argument tackles the role of social media in advancing social causes. Option A does not work since it is unrelated to the cause and refers to political campaigning. Option B does not perform as it is not comparative to the main idea of proving why the role of new media is crucial. Option C only reiterates the argument. Option D best strengthens the argument by explaining how exactly social advocacy campaigns are maximised by making use of social media in a series of discussions it brings forward. Option D is the correct answer. 9 Ming only considered the evidence that favours her belief and dismissed the other evidence that refutes it. This is an example of cherry-picking or selective attention fallacy. Instead of welcoming the evidence Meilin presented to prove that she’s actually doing good in academics, Ming chose to focus on the part where Meilin got a B+ on one of her pop quizzes and used this as justification that her belief is indeed true. Option C might be true, but option B best encapsulates the entire situation. Meilin presented evidence, but her mom only focused on the evidence that is beneficial to her stance. Option B is the correct answer. 10 The argument attempts to discuss how Van Gogh creates an influence to artists, and other individuals. Options A and B do not work as they are arguments that are extended impacts by tackling how Van Gogh’s work is archetypal for the industry. Option C is conditional and absolutist in its assertion that success can do as much as totally uninventing your own style only to follow Van Goh, which is contrary to the main goal of the argument. Option D best strengthens the argument by tackling how Van Gogh provides a message for artists to embrace their own art style. Option D is the correct answer. 11 Merida’s flaw lies in failing to directly address the key point of the original argument. Instead of addressing her mother’s claim that she went to the forbidden forest, which is the main subject of the argument, she focused on the part where her mother asked her brothers to follow her around.

action that can be an extension of the argument’s impact. Option B is already reiterated in the passage to provide more meaningful access for individuals from rural to urban areas. Option D does not strengthen it as it creates a conditional clause that can only support half of the assumptions about the necessity for increasing transport services. Option C magnifies the benefit by extending what awaits increased transportation efficiency and services. Option C is the correct answer. 19 The premises in James’ statement are contradicting each other. He basically claimed that Mike can do anything, even making test questions he can hardly answer. However, if there is nothing Mike can’t do, why can’t he easily answer the said test questions? James’ statement asserted and denied the same thing. This is an example of a ‘contradictory premises’ fallacy. Option B is the correct answer. 20 “Value chains directly create customer value and give a company a competitive edge” is the option that best encapsulates the main idea that a value chain comprises activities that create and deliver value to customers, thereby providing a competitive advantage by addressing their needs throughout the entire process from raw materials to final consumption. Option B is the correct answer 21 Thor doesn’t undertake Rescue missions and isn't on missions on Tuesday. Natasha undertakes Stealth missions but not on Monday or Friday. Bruce doesn’t undertake Rescue missions and is on a mission on Wednesday. Diplomacy is on Friday (not by Steve), and Research is on Thursday. By process of elimination, considering the constraints and the days of the week, the mission Bruce undertakes on Wednesday must be Combat. Option C is the correct answer. 22 The passage directly mentions that Luna launched her own wizarding magazine, confirming statement C. The other options are assumptions or additional details not provided in the passage. The statement about the study group advertising in Luna's magazine leads to the direct conclusion that Luna owns the magazine. Option C is the correct answer. 23 Original Conditional statement: If there is a significant earthquake under the sea or volcanic eruption, then there is a tsunami warning. Contrapositive: If there is no tsunami warning, then there is no significant earthquake under the sea and there’s also no volcanic eruption. Liam is correct: This is because a significant earthquake under the sea is a sufficient condition for a tsunami warning. Emma is correct: Refer to the contrapositive statement, which has provided the logically equivalent translation. Noah is correct: Noah acknowledges that a tsunami warning was issued but suggests it might not be due to an earthquake, considering the possibility of a volcanic eruption or another cause.
