Still confused on how to distinguish between the author's voice and Gerber's argument in the last paragraph. It seemed to me that the authors voice came out in the last part of the final paragraph in agreement with Gerber, but this answer is dependent on the understanding that it is Gerber's voice still through the end. #help
totally thought we were talking about the son LOL, its crazy how easy it is to misread questions even if you read them word by word. F U Brain
I was able to predict this flaw perfectly, but misread the answer choices. I ruled out D because I skimmed it and labeled it as a whole to part flaw. Re-reading it now, it was right there! I chose B because I read it as "someone's presence requires that they have a legitimate reason." What if her brothers came anyway not to give her the CD? Either way that was not the main flaw of the argument.
Refresher for those (me) who forgot what implicit/explicit means: The question stem will contain a clue about whether that's the case (explicit) by outright stating “agree” or “disagree” without the modifier of “most strongly suggest” or “most strongly support.”
If the question stem contains modifiers like "most support" or "suggest" then the point at issue will likely be implicit. The agreement or disagreement will likely live below the surface of the text and we'll have to infer it out for one or both of the speakers.
