I narrowed down between D and E and I'm still kind of lost. I prephrased, "an example supporting/expanding upon the conclusion." We are given an example of why poets are made melancholic by writing poetry because poetry itself has depressing qualities.
I understand the "and by the way melancholy means" but I'm still struggling to see how my interpretation of it isn't inclusive.

Would AC A be the answer if this was a NA question? I was stuck between A and C so long and during review, I can only see that as its downfall (aside for C being the missing link) #help

I treated this as a NA question and ended up choosing A. I didn't see any sufficient indicator words such as "if" in the stem. Well this is a great wake up call for me.

I think the fault lies in the "what kind of sandstone is CURRENTLY being formed." We may know what is currently there (either 1,2, or 3), but this does not tell us about the current formation of any of them.

The main idea of the passage is that we have new information to suggest that a new theory is more likely than the traditional sandstorm hypothesis. C is nothing, but support for the new hypothesis, it is not the main idea.

You can completely chain everything together. I did this and negated the whole thing and had two big conditional chains to work with. I think that this section was designed for you to save at least 10+ minutes for the last game to essential brute force some of the questions. You just have to do you best at eliminated 1 or 2 or hopefully 3 answer choices each question that may need to be "brute forced" and that way you only have to try a few.

Yeah I totally thought the same thing. I took it as contributing to the classical wave theory because he over threw it. It's not a contribution in a supporting way, but he nonetheless contributed in the shift away from the classical theory.

I spent 2:08 on this question and really only got to the answer by POE. Congestion does not indicate the speeds of the motorists...

YES! I was wondering how on earth that C could work... but line refers not to the lyrics itself, but the formatting - despedida or the formal closing verse.

Here is my shitty analysis that got me 2/5 on timed and 2/5 on BR.
Low-resolution summaries:
P1: psychology of decision making
P2: cost-benefit-analysis
P3: subjective and rational talk.
High-resolution summaries:
P1: Perceived losses motivate more than the prospect of a loss of equal gain. Therefore, risk taking is a more common strategy for those who believe they will lose what they already possess compared to those who wish to gain something they do not have.
P2: Risky ventures only chosen over a sure thing if the payoff is high. Previous viewpoints show that a 50% chance to lose $100 is unacceptable unless it is accompanied by a chance to win $300. Nevertheless, alt to a sure loss is a chance of losing an even larger amt, coupled with a small chance of losing nothing.
P3: Huge risks may be taken if there is a subjective value to that nation. Sometimes these risks are against rational risk taking strategies. Example of Britain v. Argentina.
View point(s): Va: Understand other nations' subjective views. Questionable of research at times, but accepting overall.
Tone: Accepting of the data, skeptical, and willing to apply the research to irl examples.
Main point: The psychology of decision making introduces rational arguments of perceived win versus loss with a bit of subjective value, case in point: Britain and Argentina.

Low-resolution summaries:
P1: Latin v. Spanish poetry
P2: Latin: critical, Spanish: more accepting
P3: Latin: progressive, Spanish: conservative
High-resolution summaries:
P1: While some critics believe that there is unity in the Latin Spanish, they are wrong. The language was transplanted with Columbus, but the two approaches to poetry differ in key aspects.
P2: Latin culture is critical in its attitude towards language and Spanish is more accepting.
P3: Latin: progressive, no long standing past to romanticize - curiosity of other cultural literature. Spanish conservative, romanticizes the past 3 Latin poet examples provided
View point(s): V1: critics believe in a linguistic unity in Latin Poetry, Va: author disagrees with the critics and believes that the latin poetry/literature differs greatly because they are having to form their new cultural identity.
Tone: Neutral, understanding of why Latin poetry is the way it is
Main point: Latin versus Spanish cultural distinctions. There is a favoritism in Latin culture in the text.

Low-resolution summaries:
P1: Multipolar international systems
P2: Bipolar international systems
P3: Cold war, reassessment of ^
P4: Builds on this ^ w/ examples
High-resolution summaries:
P1: Multipolarity is explained and how they are fluid and flexible. Multiple superpowers with smaller groups contributing to the big ones. Example of the Concert of Europe is given to explain its historic success rate.
P2: Bipolarity is explained here and how it is a winner takes all game. Two major superpowers, rigid and flexible systems.
P3: MP stated in the first paragraph of this. We are also discussing how modern day weapons don’t allow us to apply the same theoretical principles of multipolarity international systems as we had in the 19th century (nukes are more dangerous and destructive than muskets for example).
P4: This paragraph builds on paragraph 3 and discusses why the Cold War may need to be looked at in a new light. Despite the period of peace in the 19th century, this could have led to the instability of the continent brought on by WWII. The bipolarity of the USSR and USA may have led to overall peace.
View point(s): Va: skeptical of hypothetical designs of multipolarity international systems promoting piece over the bipolar system
Tone: Critical of social scientist assessment in P1
Main point: In light of the cold war, reassessment of multipolarity and bipolarity needs to be done.

Funny how I completed passage 1,2, and 4 in the timed section and saved 3 for last. I had to PEE SO BAD. Ironically it was about my own disposition.
Passage seemed really difficult imo.

Chose B because it roughly matched my prephrase, but in actuality it only matched a few ideas but connected them improperly. I should've just read A-E and I probably would've recognized else.

I totally got caught up with the first statement that consciousness arises from physical processes.
Yep. The Many=Some is a super important thing to remember. Better to learn it now than on the real deal!
