@LukeSLM9 I totally see what you mean, but ultimately the author's conclusion is NOT: "the reason why there are so many spiders is because birds eat spiders." If this was the conclusion, then I think you'd be right in saying A contradicts/weakens that by saying "actually, it's NOT because birds eat spiders, it's actually because birds compete with spiders for insect prey." But the stimulus itself actually concludes that due to the introduction of the brown tree snake, which in turn caused the loss of bird species, the spider population increased. The correct AC needs to affirm that it was truly the birds that caused the spider population to increase. I struggled with this question too, and I hope my explanation makes sense!

Hello!! In some of my recent PTs, I've noticed medium to high variance in the amount of answers I miss across sections... in my most recent PT for example, I missed 1 question on LR section 3 then somehow missed 9 on LR section 4. I'm wondering if anyone has ever experienced this and what the cause might be?

It could honestly just be chalked up to that a particular section was easier or harder, but I suppose I'm also wondering if fatigue could play a role, and if high variance in the number of questions missed across sections could suggest a particular direction in which I need to study more. Thank you!
