I came across this issue when I was doing June 2020 Section 2 Question 25. I thought unrepresentative sample applied because the sample was on [test subjects before experiments] and the conclusion was on [test subjects after experiments]. But a few people have told me that the "unrepresentative sample" answer choice is only for statistically unrepresentative things, like only interviewing 10 people when the population is 100,000.

I understand that this is a MSS question and answers to MSS questions have leeway and can be weaker. But I understood E and still eliminated because there are many ways for there to be less not preserved wood vehicles.... like maybe the archaeologists just couldn't find them. Maybe they just didn't make a lot.
I would like to point out that Avengers only beat out Avatar in the domestic box office
How do we know the song was useful or helpful at all? All we know is that the children were taught a song with their phone numbers and at the end of the day they could remember it. Like J.Y said, maybe they completely forgot it after a few minutes and then the teacher taught them another method of remembering their phone numbers (like beating it into them) #help
Did you watch J.Y's explanation? I don't really think your first point needs to be addressed.... it's pretty obvious how "very little evidence" is meant to be interpreted. To address your second point, the second hypothesis says that there's a gradual decrease in bombardment but a massive increase at the tail end that "obliterated evidence of earlier impacts" (30-31). So if there's "very little evidence" of an increase in intensity, then the second hypothesis is refuted. Also, I didn't realize Elfhelm had internet.
I chose D but I was very hesitant because don't we have to assume that the institute is a new sleeping environment? The 50 participants could've been living in the institute for years because idk, it's hard to come by reliable insomniacs?
I eliminated B under the "wrong" conclusion (that it was about needing accurate assessments). "It's not necessary that students can wisely and insightfully assess a professor's performance before the end of the semester because what if, magically, the students all assess the performance at the end of the semester anyway?" Would this be a correct elimination under the "imagined" conclusion? #help (Added by admin)
Isn't the conclusion that the incentive was removed? I thought that was the trick and the correct answer would talk about causation
