Strengthen Q

#help

Whenever we are given [P→C] argument. I tend to see [C→P] as a correct strenthening answer choice. I understand that such answer choices try to a create connection between P and C, but isn’t this a negation flaw?

    The answer, [B], isn't a [C→P] but rather a comparative statement, saying you learn more about a spot when you spent a lot of time there compared to when you only spent a little amount of time.

    Technically the stimulus can be put as [P→C] but so can all valid arguments. I wouldn't even consider this a question where translating to lawgic is helpful. Its more of a argument by analogy with the important part being that both tourism(T) and reading(R) a new book share the goal of wanting to "enlarge understanding rather than simply to acquire information".

    It argues because its better to stop and smell the roses while travelling, it is also better for book readers to "stop and smell the roses" by not prioritizing quantity of books read but rather fewer book and spend more time with each.

    Answer choice [B] strengthens this by adding additional support for the shared goal (enlarge understanding) between T and R.

    Thank you very much!!!

    without assuming you did the translations correct, it's hard to see what you're asking for.

    Got any specific examples?

    For example, PT67 Section2 #3

    Thank you for your help! :)
