i narrowed down to C and D. I was about to chose C, but it said "as much of other foods that are high in fat as ...(the other ppl who are trying to reduce)" i read that as their equal in fat consumption. Too wordy and too extra. D let's us know that the people who are trying to reduce turned around and binge ate everything that was not meat. Leading to excess fat compared to ppl who kept it chill with the red meat only.
Can someone explain to me why D isn't the 'perfect' answer? It really seems like the word 'replace' here is doing the work to show that it is not something that applies to those who have not cut out red meat. I feel that its fair to hold all else constant (general dietary trends being similar among both groups) and say that the fact that they are REPLACING the red meat that they are cutting out (that the other group is still eating, and thus NOT changed here) with cheese and baked goods. Its not like it says 'cheese consumption has gone up in this group.' Its simply that the act of cutting out red meat TENDS to make you eat more fat than those who do not.
This section is by far my worst section to date. I absolutely despise these RRE question types. I am simply not getting the right answers. I come so close then I fail and I am losing hope. I just do not know what to do at this point. I feel hopeless....
AAAH! I had it right the first time but thought C and D were basically the same answer, so I chose B. I didn't recognize C said that both groups consumed the same amount of fat while D actually answered the discrepancy.
so judging by the last two questions we are just supposed to guess things that aren't mentioned by the actual sentence? nowhere does it say anything about cheese or baked goods. This again, is unsubstantiated hypothesis and I am confused why it is correct.
For me, C had a lot of grammar to parse through. Only after JY explaining did I understand what C said. Between C and D, I chose D in the interest of time
I feel like B is not totally proved wrong in my head... Someone help!
I understand even though the stim is talking about EVERYONE who is cutting back (not just because of health or economics) and trying to answer why their fat is higher; I feel like if we are to assume it is true, this answer could be a fair additional info the supports an explanation. I know it is just suggesting another reason why people might cut back, but it doesn't seem crazy to suggest and say that giving these two options could explain this phenomenon. Does anyone want to clarify why B is WRONG? or another way too approach eliminating this question?
Is D really incomplete? The idea that D could refer to both groups never crossed my mind because of the word "replaced". The word "replace" couldn't reasonably be used to describe the group that isn't eliminating meat from their diet in the first place since it entails swapping one thing for another.
I got this one right by thinking of the naive assumption the stimulus wanted me to make; which was essentially to fool us into thinking that red meat is high in fat. Notice that answer C and E both touch upon being high in fat or lower in fat. That's why I chose D, because it was neutral. It says the foods are RICHER in fat than red meat, but that does isn't as naive assumption esque as C or E.
When the test writers make a wild pull like the noun cheese, that wasn't even remotely mentioned in the passage, i tend to delete the answer immediately. Hate how they do that.

whenever i get a question right i feel like the GIF of Tina from bobs burgers doing the body roll.
FINALLY! I got my first question CORRECT!
i narrowed down to C and D. I was about to chose C, but it said "as much of other foods that are high in fat as ...(the other ppl who are trying to reduce)" i read that as their equal in fat consumption. Too wordy and too extra. D let's us know that the people who are trying to reduce turned around and binge ate everything that was not meat. Leading to excess fat compared to ppl who kept it chill with the red meat only.
I am still a bit confuse with these type of questions. I am treating it like MC questions

He needs to stop saying "Uhhhh Okayyy....?" it feels like i'm watching Dora

54 seconds for this question is crazy to me
I don't agree with the difference b/w and C and D. Other than D had more details. Is that what we are looking for? It's pissing me off, tbh.
i love cheese
I told myself when clicking the check mark "I know the answer is D but freak it let me choose C" !
Is anyone else struggling with these questions? I am not doing well at alllll!
I needed this W after that last question
#feedback Found a typo in the explanation for answer D: "Did the non-redunction group also add cheese and baked goods to its diet?"
For me, C had a lot of grammar to parse through. Only after JY explaining did I understand what C said. Between C and D, I chose D in the interest of time
YUHHHHHHH

I really like the time stamps in the video progress bar for each answer! #feedback
I still don't understand how C is wrong but D is right. D is basically saying the same thing as C, just less detailed and with implied assumptions :/
Welp, I guess it's comforting to know this question was categorized as very hard...
