#15 - Any good garden compost may appropriately be used for

[Adam Tyson]

I think it's fair to assume that the best compost is good compost, ange.li6778. Otherwise there would be no good compost at all! The author is certainly suggesting that good compost exists, and so the best compost must be a subset of that group.

I interpreted this stimulus as a nested conditional, with the "unless"being the last sentence with ammonia.

Why is that not the case here?

Thank you

It seems like this stimulus is actually not Nested, because the Ammonia necessary condition (one of the OR's after simplifying the Nested) needs the contrapositive of a link in its own chain (NotDecomposed) to prove NotGood Compost.

This would absolutely destroy me if I made this mistake on the test: so much time wasted, and then so much more time needed connecting these dots. How do I avoid incorrectly basing a question around a possible Nested conditional ?

Are there MBT that use Nesteds, or are Nesteds normally used in PR questions, Strengthen, Weaken and Justify?


Thank you so much
