I wished that this lesson could add a bit more material on when a few ACs all are abstractions of the application but then some are weirdly worded and are an interesting framing of the application (whcih turned out to be right) and the others are using familiar wording from the application but is not the actual answer
So regarding to this," Patterns in the wrong answers:Wrong answers will tend to also be stated in general terms but they won't apply to the specific description or illustration in the stimulus."
All answers will apply to specific description or illustration?
@AliMerhi I'm not exactly sure what it is you're asking, but it's saying the wrong answers will also be stated in general terms (disguised as correct answer choices), so be careful not to fall for them. That's not why they're wrong however.
They're going to be wrong be cause they're not applicable to the stimulus we're given. EG:
The qwerty keyboard became the standard with the invention of the typewriter & remains the standard for typing today. If an alternative known as the Dvorak keyboard were today's standard, typists would type faster. Still, it isn't practical to switch to the Dvorak because the cost of switching (eg: time/money/frustration) aren't worth the benefits to be gained by typing faster.
People usually settle on a standard because that standard is more efficient than any alternatives.
The fact that a standard is already in wide use can be a crucial factor in making it a more practical choice than an alternative.
Both 1 & 2 are general statements, but only one correctly applies to the situation/scenario/example/premises we're given.

@AliMerhi yfm?????
*These questions
honeHOME in on the distinction between what is specific and what is general.I feel like this lesson needed to be longer.
It's giving "give me what its obviously saying" and I'm here for it
Fav module so far
comparing principles to pSAs is like comparing coughing baby to nuclear bomb fr
Principle questions seem to ask which answer choice is more of a general description of the stimulus?
