#4- A recent test of an electric insect control device

[Sammiewhammie]

Hi,

So in order to weaken this question we need to show in some way that the device did, in fact, help to eliminate the mosquito population? I seem to struggle with weaken and strengthen questions when the language deals with negation in someway. Like in this question, the conclusion is saying that device won’t aid in controlling the mosquito population; so we have to find answer that actually does make the device useful to kill the mosquitoes.

Are there any particular techniques to not get confused with the language?

Thanks,
Sam

That's right, Sam! Start by just contradicting the conclusion, and then look for evidence to support that contradiction. They say it won't help control the mosquito population? Look for evidence that it might help after all, despite the meager evidence in the stimulus. Find that conclusion and then attack it!
