Wow this one made me doubt that I spoke English (I only speak English)

@SamGreenaway lol I made the same mistake gg

I was surprised this was a 3 difficulty question. I chose A because I thought that B wrongfully assumed that the two groups WOULD interact whatsoever, when group A could be 3 million people and B could be like seven people. But A is wrong because it assumes that the avoidant group would otherwise speak? Both seem to run on assumptions

I chose B because I thought that centralization is /decentralization and therefore that /strongly encouraging innovation means /decentralization (or centralization). But that doesn't even work because /strongly encouraging innovation is not /innovation, it could be medium or slow innovation encouraged there.

No idea how I got this right

Dude..... this one is so dumb lol.

I thought that this was assuming too much. I am traumatized by previous wrong answers lol.

I feel like answer C was assuming too much with the credit policy. Also this one was generally insane, with the time it takes.

@jordanwalker10 ahhh fair enough, I see what you're saying. I didn't quite catch the stimulus's quite strict phrasing the first time around. Thank you for the explanation!

This question seems poorly written. B seems too extreme; we don't know that they used some plants in ways no other people did tout court, rather that they used plants in ways no other people did AS FAR AS THE ARCHAEOLOGICAL EVIDENCE TELLS US. Still, it is the "most" strongly supported one because the other answers blow

But doesn't the stimulus say why economic incentive will grow? I.e., unoccupied space diminishing? I guess it's vague on specifics but that made me rule out A, which I had chosen initially

Edit: NVM, I get it now. It takes for granted that that economic incentive "will grow sufficiently to cause" that, not that such an economic incentive will grow. I read ts too quickly lol

This one is ragebait dude. I thought that E was right because it was more specific, accounting for the reliability of the new method, while B did not. But I guess the stimulus never said it "never" distinguished between them, just that its method can only fall within a given range.
