imo, the hardest part of this question is figuring out the main conclusion, which is "we will not be able to determine (that there are sentient beings outside our solar system etc.) anytime in the near future". when you look at all of the answer choices, only answer choice D has a link to the idea about existence. all of the other answer choices are about communicating with them, and then A is just off the mark. so once you can recognize that, D being the right answer is clear. Hope this helps someone.
im starting to regress. We already established we cant send a space craft, so why is the answer that we can? hopefully this suff wont be as prominent on the test
can someone explain this to me as if i'm a dumb alien? i read through this and still don't understand how we're drawing the inference that the aliens are not as intelligent as humans.
Only got this after 3 FULL minutes! Currently batting 0.500 with these Sufficient Assumption questions. This has to be the most humbling section... right? RIGHT? I don't understand why PSA questions were so much easier given that this is a tangential application.
took my 9 minutes and 49 seconds. Got it right, but it fried my brain in the process. There is so much layering in this question that you really need to move away from and get to the nitty gritty. This is just bad writing-where you have to figure out what the author is really saying.

everytime i think im out of the weeds, this course throws rose thorns at me.
First time I was able to map it out in my head! Was slow, took a whole extra minute. But got it right without BR!
I did not map this question, it was intuative.
this one is actually the worst oml
Painful!
i'm going to throw up
I've been pounded by this section.
I'm so over Sufficient Assumption bro...I lowkey want to skip over this and come back to it.
@Rose955 I did, I am back and still clueless, smh.

found it guys, the actual worst question
@kedi123 agree!

This is the first question I think I have walked away not understanding it. I feel like other implications is the stimulus clouded my judgement.
I love JY
This might be my best type of question so far. Two level 5 difficulties in a row
I keep getting these questions wrong. SOOOOO, I am going to be done for the day and try again tmr. good luck gang
@lawshosh gotta love the level 5 questions right off rip of learning something new.
How WE are moving through this week's unit:
I hate everything. I'm gonna go be a carpenter or something.
