How do we do the check, X or ? method on the online test? I really like the split method but I am worried it won't make sense to do on the computerized test.
@sparklespice4 However you would like! The real LawHub UI allows you to strike out questions, then you can highlight or underline, so train your brain to associate one thing with a good answer and another with a "maybe" answer! Whichever way makes the most sense to you
I got B pretty quick because I considered the answer choices against the phrase "objective historian described in passage A" I went with the AC that aligned best with what would have been described in passage A, as it is clear passage B is going to disagree based on the beginning of the question saying "the author of passage B" and "disagree" at the end.
I won't lie that I'm a bit disappointed because I was going to save looking at the answer until after I read passage B, but it got spoiled here for me lol. However, I think you might have gotten lucky. We don't know at all what the author of passage B is going to say.
Author A also disagrees with D, but Author B could potentially agree with it. That's a potential disagreement.
Author A could agree with E (framed in the right way), and B could disagree or agree (or have no opinion).
Author A agrees with A, and we don't know Author B's opinion on A. They could disagree with A. that is a disagreement amongst the two authors.
Author A would disagree with B, but we don't necessarily know what topic author B is going to be in disagreement about with Author A, and answer choice B could be one of those things.
Author A simply has no opinion on C. We also don't know if Author B has an opinion on C. This is actually one that can be crossed off. however, I think analyzing 5 answers only to be able to conclusively cross off one is not worth the time sink.
You simply can't answer this choice conclusively with only one side of the story. You need both. If it was doable by analyzing only one of the two passages, JY or Kevin would have done so and demonstrated that to us. They're experts on this stuff. They weren't able to, so I just don't think it's possible.
And to retort to the point you made: of course, we know that Author B is going to disagree based on the phrasing of the question. Nonetheless, that information does not reveal anything from which we can glean the correct answer.

all but C were touched on in passage A. Split method is powerful if used proper.

Did I just get lucky or does that make sense?

skip save for after reading passage B
how would someone put a check/questionmark, etc on a digital test tho...
paper! Something fast like 24. A B C D E
My question too is there any good way to indicate this for yourself?
It would have to be by memory
I think here I would eliminate the answer choices I know the author of Passage A has no opinion on (and so can't agree or disagree).
Which is really just C, maybe E. Doesn't seem like that would save time
I loved this lesson :)
