In the first go around I thought the "this assumption" was referring to the "impose opinions" part which just....didn't let me get the right answer.

After being on edge for 4-5 star questions, these types of questions break my brain.

Include me in the most people don't know category.

my thoughts

A: Fred knows Kathleen is a documentary director. Nope.

B: This was tempting at first. I just don't think that this was the strategy in criticizing Fred.

C: Correct. He knew she was a documentary director but didn't account for it.

D: It kinda concedes that Fred is partially right saying that successful directors work with famous actors. Just that he forgot about a big detail.

E: I don't think this was really up to him to show. Not really how he was criticized.

My thoughts.

A: Wrong because the store could sell prints that are not part of either group.

B: Similar to A. Could sell stuff that isn't part of either group.

C: Correct answer. "Prints of ALL of the latter..." which takes care of the first part. The "...and not on loan" part is because the stim said "...also sells SOME works..."

D: Almost chose this one at first but there's nothing indicating that Nighthawks belongs to either of the groups.

E: Similar to D. We don't know if it's displayed since we don't know if it even belongs to either of the two groups.

"The obligation to express..." is obviously some sort of conclusion. I went on the hunt for answers that said it was a conclusion.

AC E said it was the main conclusion so I went back to the stim. "Thus" indicates another conclusion to me but this one supports the first sentence.

If it's a conclusion that supports something then it isn't the main conclusion which means the first sentence is the main conclusion.

Is a memory lapse considered a weakness?

A and B both seemed right at first.

A was so tempting but went with B because the stim says "at least 3 years" and "EVENTUALLY make a comfortable living".

Why does the number of a certain role make it more or less likely for it to be that role? This seems to imply that everyone has an equal chance to break the law which is a weird assumption to make.

I would consider it being a fad as a success? Things are failures if no one used them at all. A fad assumes that a lot of people used them.

I'm beginning to believe more and more that people are predisposed to think certain 5 star questions are easy. This one I understood instantly and other 5 star questions I have no hope of understanding.

I can't wrap my head around what B is trying to say. Almost chose it cause I didn't know what it meant.

Can't guarantee this will work every time, but I used the highlighter to highlight all the matches. The only 2 that didn't have a match were "reduced spending" and "quality of education" which made the answer obvious.

I knew my innate hate of advertisements would come handy.

I chose both of the other options that were tricks. Cool.

Do I need to think less to do better?

Odd question. The explanation made references to the passage but I completely ignored the passage and got it right.

I know people hate it when people brag about getting a harder one right but dang it feels good to get a 5 star right under the time.

This is a 4 and the last one was a 5 but the 5 felt more like a 12 compared to this one...

My thought process....when the hell was medieval times? 19th century? No. Oh UNTIL 19th century.

I hope these writers get coal for christmas.

Am I cooking?

I picked C because she made a concession which didn't seem to make the harder language of A correct. Whatevs.

I don't wanna jinx it but...you know what nevermind.

Please God let me be good at RC.
