In reference to the answer choice, how do we prove the debate is "ongoing"? Does this criteria need to be backed up by the text, that this is not an old debate?
1) Is Present vs Establish different in tone? According to the answer yes. I'm not sure I see it, but hopefully I will get enough data/similar situations to better understand.
2) Ongoing. There are no dates to indicate whether it is on going. It could be argued that that we have things that engender debate, and we don't have a conclusion... that it is ongoing? On going wasn't enough for me to not choose the answer, But I didn't like C, and would not have been surprised had I been wrong.
I understand why it's C but it threw me off a little bit by saying greek tragedies. Greek tragedies alone could be real life events that happened and nothing to do with literature.
How do high scorers read? I read really slowly, and it takes me around 3.5 minutes to read a passage. I desperately want to speed up, because I often run into timing issues during the RC sections. For me, I hear the words in my mind as my eyes move across the words, so I basically "hear" the 2.0x speed narration as if I am playing this video on 2x speed. If this is not the optimal way to read, please let me know, so I can practice another technique.
on the test should we try to find the main point/purpose questions first? or does it not really matter as long as we're strategic about skipping ones we don't know?

I did not choose C because it never said that this was an ongoing debate?

The comment about "merits" means the answer choice isn't neutral was SOOO helpful because I really thought that would be the correct answer.
