I definitely agree about answer choice A. JY seems to miss the fundamental reason why A is attractive--computer intelligence is still developing and growing in complexity, similar to a human brain that is also still in the process of developing and growing in complexity. Eventually it could reach equal complexity to a brain and have equal intelligence.

I don't agree that D is indefensible, however. It gives us the analogy that a human brain is complex, and compares it to the complexity of a computer, but doesn't claim that the complexity is the direct reason for human intelligence. D still works.

I chose A initially but really struggled between D and A. Unfortunately JY's explanation didn't help much.

Same issue. I'm taking the paper test (accommodations) and can't figure out how to print for prep

I'm very much experiencing the same thing. The only thing that's helping so far is to slow it wayyyy down and being very careful and specific with my summaries. I'm very nervous about speeding up to make the test time.

Is it any more reasonable to assume the author is a man? He has to pick a pronoun for the author, the choice is arbitrary, so he should use "she" around 50% of the time.

Another way to think about this is that the actor no longer has their script (gave it back at the end of the play, lost it over time, etc) but has much better knowledge of their own character's lines because they had to study, memorize, and perform them. To me it makes little sense that someone who had a script to look at would have prepared an abridgement described this way, so it follows that there must be a reason someone would know one character's lines better than the others. The fact that the actor spent significant time memorizing one character's lines requires fewer assumptions than the other answers in which the author does not have a copy of hte script.

I agree, a guaranteed outcome is not the same as a likely outcome. The contrapositive should be "If students who excel in science and math are not likely to have a more fulfilling educational experience..."
