Just because people know something is unreasonable does not mean that they will not still act on it (problem with answer choice D). People can have a belief and then still act in a contradictory way.

Flex for Singapore, too

beware of comparative statement answer choices in MSS questions in which the stimulus does not make comparisons across different groups! Got burned on answer D... we do not know anything about healthy rodents and how likely they are to be obese. There could be other factors than angiogenesis that are sufficient/necessary for obesity.

B. We do not care about whether the mayor is popular, this is the concession point and not the conclusion that we have to bolster with our NA!

my problem with E is that we can support that this one chloroph--- probably was the result of endosym--- but can we from there support the claim that ALL chloro-- PLURAL emerged as the result of endosym???

like from the one observable chloroph as a result of endosym-- in the stimulus-, isn't it a bit much to then say that ALL chloroph emerged as a result of endosym? like.... what if this one chloroph that emerged from endosym is not representative of the emergence of all chloroph (aka. what if our stimulus' chlrorph- is an outlier / (possibly in the real world of biology) a mutation???)

Ans. choice B seems to make sense because DNA is all of the genetic data of a cell sooooo if the Chloro is a Endomorph then it would hold the nucleus (DNA) of 2 cells -> hence have the genetic data of two cells.

P: You can read a poem and think it is contradictory.

P: No authors intend to write contradictory poems.

C: Therefore it's wrong to think that a poem's meaning is what the author intended it to mean.

Assumption/gap in reasoning: What if the meaning of the poem is based only on the author's intended message and the reader's interpretation can be different and not impact the meaning at all?

NA (defending against the above gap): The reader's takeaway/understanding of the poem is a legitimate part of the meaning of the poem.

Ans. choice E is the only ans. choice that legitimizes the reader's meaning as part of the actual meaning.

(for myself:)

Ans. choice B is not necessary, as poems can express more than one idea and not be contradictory. Also, the reader's understanding of the poem is not impacted by this answer choice.

Ans choice C: We don't need readers to agree with each other about what the poem means, and we don't even need the readers to agree with the author about what the poem means. In fact, we already know that sometimes they don't agree with the author about the poem means, because they have contradictory interpretations of its meaning. What we need for this argument to make sense is for the reader's opinion, whether it is shared by other readers or not, to be a legitimate component of the poem's meaning.

i cant take this question seriously i'm cracking up so hard someone pls send help.

Can someone please explain a little bit more why ans. choice E for Q12 isn't good? I guess the only potential consequence (singular, not plural and hence not "consequences" ) is that there is a potential creation of a tax shelter in online games if virtual commerce goes untaxed.

Excluding the above distinction, is there another reason why E doesn't work? Chose it timed and during BR. Aaaagggghhh.

the answer to a NA question can be both NA and SA and be correct. E if negated demolishes the conclusion.

The negation test is our friend!

JY you are the man.

Interested! Taking July.

the 'is' before B is referential to the word 'required'. I think haha

I think it's A -> B.

To do A, B is required.
