In reading question answer choices it seems that they describe the wrong answers as wrong because they fail to address the hypothesis offered in the last paragraph. Is it true then that in order for MP questions to be correct they should somewhat address potential hypotheses offered by the author? I was unaware this was necessary

Normally I have not been writing down work. With problems like these, I have to. Is that a bad habit to start? Stupid question... but can you write anywhere on the test?

Does everyone read through the explanations even if they got it right? I started skimming them

@Jurcis same I definitely find I get more distracted watching the videos

at this point... are we supposed to be reading and watching the video? Most times I only read as I process that information better, and if I feel behind on the concept then I will watch the video as well. Is that okay or putting me behind?

I feel slow trying to understand 5 lol. It makes 0 sense to me. How is he trying to prove almost all of a surge in obesity can be attributed to decreased physical activity and changes in dietary habits, from the fact that nutritionists noticed a surge in obesity after the fast food boom. These are not fully coorelated and the premise just doesnt support the conclusion well. Any tips?

So because I am a little nervous of confusing these words when they DON'T signify premises, is it true I can ALWAYS ask "why" to the premise and if there is a why answered it must make sense? For instance, "I'm hugging you because I miss you." You can ask "why do you miss me" and the answer is "because I am hugging you".. this doesn't make sense so it is not a premise. Can this logic work for all cases?
