I eliminated (A) because I thought the projectile amount hitting Mars could be the same even if LHB effected the inner solar system, because maybe Mars sits in a far corner of the inner solar system and the projectiles remained the same, maybe some funny event counteracted with the projectiles falling during LHB, leading to a net even.

In hindsight, my reasoning was based on an unwarranted premise/assumption. Because LHB clear indicate an increase in projectiles

for purpose in context questions, do we only read the paragraph containing the target phrase or relate to to the broader picture?

@Xexne198 but the second hypo refute the use of "Late Heavy Bombardment," whereas the first sentence in the last paragraph explicitly mentions "Late Heavy Bombardment"

I really like Kevin's explaination it matches with my line of thinking

@TylerJSchneider best of luck to you mister

I thought the parts after the 'but' are the author's perspective (arguing against economist using their logic)

@echeli dw im in the same boat

why arent the rules chained up?

like so: Comp. TOB RGBEL -> Justified -> Comp. TOB

I guess it would be pointless to arrive at the conclusion that the computer in typically used in operation of business (Comp. TOB)

@Oblivion push pull legs

@MissProsecutor yayy

@MissProsecutor brain broke -> time for break

@josephlidd22 same, looking for strategies to not get caught up by the grammar

the competing hypotheses don't counter the correlation, they exist to compete as the explanation of the correlation

@NoaF123 you got this!

@petvma yes! try going back to diagram the spanish 101 question as well, it helped me!
