Solve my riddles 3 type question this pmo

Can someone point out where it states/implies that plants can function without the secondary substances? Am I supposed to assume that from "[secondary substances] have no known role in the internal chemical processes of plants' growth or metabolism?"

@ratman23 The answer is E. If the news media started reporting violent crimes more frequently, the public anxiety would increase, despite the crimes happening less often. A could potentially offer an explanation as to why violent crimes decreased, but doesn't address why public anxiety increased.

wdym this is only level 3 difficulty

Nah bc how did I get a 0% I'm cooked

@Tombee64 we struggle in solidarity over here

@ionicinstinct No bc I am fighting for my life trying to lock in to this rn

This was so much better than the last passage

@Ssss No this passage absolutely SUCKED

ouch

...I guess I actually don't know how to read

Timing is gonna be the death of me for the RC sections I fear

Ugh I was looking for the answer in the second paragraph and that's what had me go with A

@JaymeBlazek i don't think there's a wrong way to do it as long as you see improvement!

we did it Joe

@OmarAbuaita Big big fan of highlight method!!!

I am able to find the right answers, I have no idea how tho lol

One thing that really helped me with this question was highlighting the "mosts" in the stimulus, then highlighting the same mosts in the answers.

I was able to eliminate A, B, and C off the bat. That left me with D and E. E stuck out as the clear answer. I answered with 3 seconds to spare and didn't have to use any lawgic.

oh I hate this already

I got like most of the exercises correct but only 2/5 of the drill correct ugh

@KhushyMandania THANK YOU

Can someone reword/explain "takes for granted?" Whenever I see this phrase in the answer choices I get throw off because I can't properly decipher it

I was so close to choosing B but E just made more sense to me after pondering it over. The one time second guessing myself has paid off.

@jrm98 "there's no way I'm reading English rn" has been my thought so many times throughout this process

Finally a win
