Hi there,

I'm in the same position and I've been searching for some opinions online just like you.

I think I'm gonna do it because the application is all about putting yourself out there and I feel like I'd be selling myself short if I didn't include work I'm proud of.

Some have said it should be part of the resume, but it would look sloppy and out of place imo.

I'd suggest making the list with bluebook format if you're gonna do the same.

Like JY said, it's not a weakening question, it's a "what did the author say to counter this idea" question.

Replying for posterity and my own understanding.

If the CPI measures the changing cost of retail goods and government benefits are doled out based on that CPI measurement, then a reduction in the cost of goods would reflect a reduction in the benefits given.

Then the passage talks about how technological changes could change production costs (to suppliers).

Well logically, if there was a reduction in the production costs, it would be reflected in the cost of those retail goods, which would be reflected in the CPI and consequently government benefits.

I guess it's irrelevant because it's not debunking or refuting anything, it's just an irrelevant point that didn't make it go anywhere.

Question stem says "great number of this newspaper's readers"

Great number is a vague word, but it doesn't necessarily have to correlate with the total proportion of readers. 1,000 readers out of a million is still a "great number."

What matters is how many people chose different books. It very well could be

1. Bible - 997

2. 1984 - 2

3. Animal Farm - 1
