Okay so after watching the explanation, I'm confused. You eliminated A immediately after reading that it starts "Some anthropologists argue that" and that's literally the reason I eliminated C initially. Reading "Anthropologists are divided in their assessments" is basically the same as "Some anthropologists argue that" to me. Maybe it is not a good strategy to teach to eliminate before reading the answer choices completely. Doing that is the reason I got this wrong. Is my thinking wrong? #feedback #help
I may be wrong but I thought in one of the earlier RC lessons that if the author doesn't give an opinion that the main point is simply that a debate exists...
Also, how would we know which perspective the author is focusing on if the author did not express an opinion?
To be honest, I didn't even notice validate, but I did notice that the question said summary rather than main idea. I thought E wasn't a summary that covers all of the passage, as it only contains content from the last paragraph whereas C covers the content from all of the paragraphs. Is my reasoning valid or did I just get lucky?

How was this passage a level 1 difficulty?
is it wrong that I eliminated E after reading "Kayapo" because I assumed that it wouldn't have summarized the whole passage as asked in the stem?
Got this main point right finallyyyyyy but it makes me nervous that this is a one star passage!!
Boom, answered in 1.57 seconds.
I chose C immediately, but are you saying that if answer E had said "support" instead of "validate" that it would have been the correct answer over C?

BRUH
Answer choice C just makes more sense than the rest, especially with how bogus D is
In reference to #1 under Let's Review:

I was so focused on trying to stick to the author's point that I chose E even though my gut was telling me it was C
Didn't even consider the strength of the word "validates"
I should have went with my gut for this one...
