@BlueeTulip Ooo okay, I'll give that a try! Thanks! Did you find that with practice you were able to do that implicitly during timed conditions as well?

@KN2025 I had a similar thought process at first, but the stimulus says, "X% OF coverage concerning [candidate]...," meaning it doesn't necessarily have to be the same amount of coverage between the challenger v. incumbent, just that OF the coverage for either party, 54% was negative towards the challenger and 30% was negative towards the incumbent. So if there were 100 reports concerning the challenger, 54 of them were negative; if there were 10 reports concerning the incumbent, 3 of them were negative. The percentage discrepancy still holds up despite there being a difference in the amount of coverage. Hope this helps!

@monmon Oh my gosh, I made the exact same mistake until I read your comment and saw that is was the REPORTERS who voted! I was also between B and D, but ultimately eliminated D because it said the voting behavior is NOT significantly affected by the content, which I interpreted as an eliminated alternate explanation, since it eliminates that potential reversed causal relationship.

@Gregmjr Yes! I had a similar thought process behind it. I broke down the argument with lawgic, and figured that since Arab translators are able to translate Greek into Arabic, they can clearly understand Greek. So if there wasn't enough public demand for the Poetics to be translated into Greek, then the translators (who were nevertheless interested in the Poetics) still kept them, just untranslated.

@Bobby68 Omg you're amazing thank you so much!!

I feel like C requires too strong of an assumption to make. Just because people recognize that it is unrepresentative, doesn't mean that they have accurate beliefs about society, especially when the stimulus notes that people are "often moved by anecdotes" (which could be interpreted as them having a change in their belief system).

I chose D because the stimulus implies that statistical information is correct, yet rarely paid attention to. So, if anecdotes are more popular, and are able to make accurate statistical information for comprehensible, then that is how the general population is able to acquire accurate information about society, thus having accurate beliefs.
