is anyone else consistently having the problem of narrowing it down to 2 choices and always picking the wrong answer choice of the 2? this is so disheartening to fall for trap answers on every damn question.
I keep getting these right but I stare at them forever (I pick the right answer quickly but it always seems SO weak that I can't imagine it's the one that is best for the argument). It's such a weird issue.
I'm afraid of not recognizing necessary v. sufficient assumption questions then second guessing myself and wasting so much time on test day.
"don't use the negation test in the real test" bro it took me two second to negation test B and E and got it right 30 seconds under the wire. that thing WORKS
I honestly hated every single answer choice. I know with NA the answer doesn't have to meet the perfect standard every time but I just felt like none of them were articulated well enough for me to feel confident in my answer.
Here was my reasoning for E: In order for the charge that her novels were indifferent to important to the moral questions to be unfair, the reasoning must posit that Colette had to be intentional (opposite of indifference) in tackling the moral questions of her time through condensing emotional crises of the lives of her characters, and so this is a necessary assumption for the premises to properly support to the conclusion.
I was so proud of myself and then got it dead wrong. This shit is hard.
I do see that the critics are levying a criticism against the books themselves and not the author, which I conflated. It's so vexing how a tiny and everyday mistake like that can be the difference between a right and wrong answer.
Okay so I am getting these right but not because of the explanation JY is giving. I just seem to understand that the correct answer is NA. I don't know why wrong answers are wrong, but I know they are known. Does anyone else feel this way?
another thing about E was that it mentions the lives of characters, when the stimulus never mentions this fact. This is what helped me to eliminate that answer choice, carefully scrutinizing each answer choice for the correct word choice (ex. browsing the web vs. relying on the web) has helped a lot not just on these questions but on all of LR as a whole.
I was down to B and E, and I chose E. I understand why B is correct, but I still don't understand why E is not correct. To me, when you negate E by saying that her purpose was not to explore moral questions, the conclusion falls apart. When critics say that she is indifferent to moral questions, how is her purpose, or the reason why she wrote the way she did, irrelevant?

I could hear J.Y.'s "who cares!" in my head when I read answer choice A. Haha!
This section absolutely kicking my ass! Guess I got a lot of work to do on this...

i dont even know how or why b is right but i chose it idk. not feeling good my fellow companions
"don't use the negation test in the real test" bro it took me two second to negation test B and E and got it right 30 seconds under the wire. that thing WORKS
hahaha i literally got this right through process of elimination alone. no clue in the world why B is right.
got rid of E because i was like "the passage never mentioned characters" lmaooo
i got this right but despite literally not being able to understand what B means by "does not have to be indifferent to"
this is a nice little redemption from the previous section. honestly the tip of asking whether or not it is necessary has really helped.
I’m just taking the L on this one
3/4 4/4 BR lets go
CHAT I KEEP GETTING THEM CORRECT. LET'S GOOOO

The way I was between B and E and chose E 🤦🏻♀️
Can't we just simply eliminate E since the subject in E is Colette/Colette's purpose?--- Given that the stimulus' subject regards Colette's novels??
Why did I get this one correct no problem but the previous question still didn't make any sense.
