At this point if I truly understand and can summarize each parragraph and understand what the passage is about I'll be able to hopefully ace this section both here and on the exam
D should be wrong cause it talked about the way free will was percepted in Greek society, which implys the general view. But the veiw that this playwrighter had doesn't need to reflect the views of Greek society? While it might be proof a view that was emerging in Greek society, it can still not reflect the view of Greek society as a whole.
@arose I believe its more about how answer D uses the word perceived. The drama was proof that this method of thinking exsisted. The drama did not create or inspire this method of thinking necessarily.
Reference to the "Western world" had me crossing out C and E real fast. I caught the "initiate" and "new" language in A and B and felt like that was inconsistent with "proof." I felt confident choosing D because I felt like the "accurately reflects" phrasing very strongly supported the "proof" mentioned in the quote the question was referring to.
One thing to remember in this question is that "proof" of something does not mean that the "proof" is a causal mechanism. Remember in the garbage can argument, proof that the cat is licking its paw is not proof that the cat knocked the garbage bin over. We need the assumption that licking the paw only happens when he knocks the can over.
C and E are wrong because they introduce the Western World, which leads us to assume a connection between free agency and Western philosophy. A and B are incorrect because they both say that the "proof" did something. So D is and must be correct.
My error was the over-emphasizing "emergence." I then made a relationship between the Aeschylean drama and emergence, confusing correlation with cause and effect. The drama did not bring about the emergence, but simply captured the ongoing emergence in the culture.
@GravelSaint103 This was very helpful. Thank you for this comment, I too was pretty stuck on either A or B. In the blind review, changed my answer to A and almost flipped the table when I saw both answers were wrong. But you helped me realize I also confused correlation with cause and effect. Aeschylean drama was example of proof or a result of the emergence of that perspective to. Which is what AC. D suggests. Thank you for helping me keep all 4 legs of my table on my floor.
I got this question right simply because I struggle between (A), (B), and (D), but can't find any difference between (A) and (B), and certainly there can't be two right answers, so I chose (D).
But after watching the video, I think the reason why (A) and (B) are incorrect is that they confuse sufficiency with necessity (this I think is an alternative explanation to this question but it could be wrong).
What in the passage indicates that the drama is proof of the emergence of individual role, in other words, the drama is one of the many sufficient conditions for the emergence to happen, other sufficient conditions may also trigger it to happen. But what in the two answer choices is that the drama initiate/introduce the new understanding of individual role, meaning that without the drama, the new understanding cannot be initiated/introduced, which is exactly what a necessary condition is.
Somehow got this right... But answer B was tempting. I read a little bit of Snell's perspective and how it tied together with Barbu's, and question D used somewhat the same verbiage. Thats why I went with it, but I don't know if that tactic helps for every passage on the test...
Can someone please explain how D supports the link between [emergence within ancient greek civilization of the individual] and [perceived personal autonomy in greek society]? how can we deduce validly that because there was an emergence of the free agent, personal autonomy was perceived? or am i thinking too deep post logic section...
Theres no way my low res could include an answer to a question like this... Now im caught wondering if doing low res is just to keep me engaged or is distracting me from the passage itself.
The answers cannot state more than what the author implies. The author makes no implication or rests no conclusion on the assumption that anything new was created.
Just simply that if it reflects out understanding of ancient Greek autonomy in daily life, then it must be accurate/true.
Could we not eliminate C and E solely on the reason that it talks about the modern western world? and Barbu is only concerned within ancient greek civilization?

I chose be, and I was wrong. In protest, I am just going to refuse to like this Barbu fella.
i luv rc, rc loves me.
this question gave me trust issues.
AHHH I chose B first but chose D in the BR:)
i cannot imagine these questions taking less than 45 minutes.
@Kevin_Lin you are cooking
i was stuck between b and d, picked d in BR a win is a winnnn
really liking your explanations on these questions, Kevin!!! #sohelpful

7 whole minutes under the time and correct, feels suspicious

Wouldn't "western world" also lead us to eliminate C and E?

@AutonomousTacticalTheory It's not supposed to. You can't expect to predict the answer to every question.
Everyone, remember.
The answers cannot state more than what the author implies. The author makes no implication or rests no conclusion on the assumption that anything new was created.
Just simply that if it reflects out understanding of ancient Greek autonomy in daily life, then it must be accurate/true.
Easy way to eliminate those two answers.
bruh...
Could we not eliminate C and E solely on the reason that it talks about the modern western world? and Barbu is only concerned within ancient greek civilization?
@AlizaGGG that's what i did, so i am also curious..
THAT, was a level 5 difficulty question???
@LukeGibson ya i know... i got the last 2 wrong, but this one right on Actual & BR within the time limit?!..
Can someone further elaborate on how the negation technique would've been helpful in ascertaining that AC D is correct? Thanks!
