Appreciate the very quick response and additional clarification. Hopefully, my comment didn't come off as a slight against your explainations. Those are great.

I guess I had to assume that "actual spending" meant "new purchases" and not some other forms of spending like paying of debts or other things, like mentioned in Kevin's explanation? Seems like an unreasonable assumption to make. I consider paying off debts as a form of spending. I got it right in blind review, but during the timed drill, this question/answer choices annoyed me ngl

If the statement isnt attributed to Turner, or another person in the passage, it is the author's voice,

Also, what gives you any indication that Turner is even involved in the "Westernization due to camera" debate? Seems like the passage talks about his fieldwork as support for a view, not as Turner putting forth a view in this "Westernization due to cameras" debate himself. Thats my view, but I could be wrong.

exactly, or the CDC said dont eat this contaminated food. Imo, A and C both require an assumption to be made.

Weird how you can rationalize with certainty that A was caused by them heading the advice of hand washing, but C was not caused by them heading the advice of avoiding public places. For all I know, the foodborne illness was reduced from a separate cause as well. Maybe, they suddenly prevented contamination from a waste plant that was blowing shit into the crops. I rarely get these earlier questions wrong. I knew it was between A and C. Seems like both require an assumption to be made.

How do you consider two different answer choices being the PRIMARY concern being addressed?

Instead of advocating for the wrong answer, your time will be better spent figuring out why C is right and D is wrong (This is from 6 months ago, so I'm speaking to anyone who feels the same way who hasn't tested yet, not necessarily the person who wrote this comment).

27 A definitely threw me off. The use of "ideally" and "obviously" sure sounded like a tone of endorsement to me. Gonna have to review this one closely.

I believe 11 A would still be wrong even if you didnt grant that Spain is not included in Europe due to the quantifier idea. Many does not equal most.

I think you are overcomplicating it. Where he highlighted with the two blue vertical lines says one thing:

The ones that are MOST central to a genre have a certain characteristic, they clearly exploit a specific reading protocol.

A is basically says the ones that dont have that characteristic are sometimes "borderline cases" = less central to that genre.

Yes, that would be true - since the ones that have the characteristic are in the center of that genre. The ones on the outside do not have that characteristic to the same degree.

increase in inaccurate info doesn't mean that the information as a whole has risen to more inaccurate than accurate.

Also, when you get an answer wrong - you messed up in two ways. You not only selected the wrong answer, you didn't select the right answer. Most likely, many people just guess A and move on without reaching D. If you get to D, I don't see how you eliminate it.

I flipped back and forth between B and D with this one. I felt like B initially explained a phenomenon that affected both the fish and plankton and chose it upon the first read. Then I 2nd guessed once I read D. Because D seems to explain how starvation of the fish could lead to less fish and the propensity for the fish to eat more of the plankton that they sometimes ate. It seems like a reasonable assumption that they would need to eat more since the stimulus states that the fish are both starving and sometimes eat the plankton. Also, B makes you need to assume that this bacterium leads to death.

Tbh B seems like it helps the case for making it less likely to be volcanoes and thereby weakening the argument. Definitely need to review this ? because I'm definitely not seeing how this eliminates the meteor chkice and not the volcano theory like the explanation shows.

Hmm. Got this one wrong. Probably the only MC ive ever missed. Seems like the "why test" gave me the wrong answer here.
