My thought process was - neither B nor C were explicitly stated in the text. I was back and forth between the two. How can we move faster in timed situation

Thank you!!

Starred this one!

I fell for A!

Took some mental gymnastics to click but it finally did! Thanks so much, will keep it in mind.

I totally misunderstood this question at first glance. I thought it was referring to a question that encompasses or provides an answer to using the entirety of the passage. So I was looking for a more general question in the answer choice. Made a mental note of this but how can I avoid this kind of misunderstanding error in the future (def. cost me a point here).

i loved turtles, this is indeed tragic hahaha

I still am a bit stick on how proof of emergence is (not) proof for the introduction of new ways. Does anyone understand why it is not the case...

I 100 percent agree!!

The vibes don't lie ! !

#help - I don't understand how this argument is flawed. Would you not want to dismiss someone's argument to dismiss their claim? How would we edit this to make it a sound argument???

This is super helpful :) thank you so much

I originally picked C but thought it was too general and was not specific enough to the stim. Is it OK for an AC to be this general... #help

For Answer choice E, I assumed that evidence against critics factual premises is implied when he responded to his claim...

same here. Chose B but switched to A in BR

me too!! Big day!!

This is really helpful! On the same boat! I was so wrecked through this section and this is the first time that I am finding it obvious

I have the exact same question! #help

One important lesson that helped me better understand weakening is understanding the assumptions that I had about the purpose of weakening questions. Instead of seeing them as a black and white - has to attack the conclusion at its core, try to think of it as a claim that weakens or attacks the relationship between the premise and the conclusion. So its not the conclusion that it attacks but the whole relationship dynamic with the premise.. if that makes sense. Also congrats on the amazing grade!!!
