"her success was attributable to innate talent" I think at least says that the author's innate talent was a cause or factor in her success, but it's too strong to say that the author's success was inevitable due to her innate talent. Answer B and the text don't have to correspond exactly. The question asks for the answer that's "most similar" and I think both B and the text describe a more innate quality (temperament and talent), which could be another point of similarity between them.

After review, C seemed right to me after I interpreted the dialogue like this:

H: Honeybees' dance must be used to do something other than communicating the location of food.

W: Honeybees' dance is a way of communicating the location of food (and scent trails are a supplementary way of doing it).

Basically, W is like "why not both bro?"

So, they disagree over whether the dance is used to communicate the location of food.

For 27, I think another clue for why B is right might be in line 33 with "new myths about...their 'temperaments,'" since it's describing something more innate to nations. Like B, it's describing how nations are so awesome and how that leads them to success.

P.S. (I'm not saying imperialism is a good thing.)

For 24, C threw me off because I thought "successful" meant successfully enforcing or forcing the parties to carry out the contract. I didn't interpret it as being less than successful in the sense of leading to bad consequences.

So I eliminated C because of lines 46-48 which say "EVEN IF the court had the resources necessary to ensure that such a contract would be enforced...", which I took to mean that the author took no stance on whether the court would be SUCCESSFUL in getting the parties to carry out the terms of the contract.

Jeez I'm dumb. I think I got lazy and stopped when JY said "that's why D is right."

I eliminated B because it said "most loyal" and thought, "well technically 'most loyal customers' can refer to like 2 ppl which wouldn't necessarily have an effect on the argument since those 2 may not make up a large enough portion of the set of regular, long-term customers." #help

How do you show the proctor your paper, stay in camera, and look at the screen at a comfortable angle all at the same time? My webcam can't do that. I heard the proctors don't normally ask people to keep their scratch paper in view throughout the test. I thought you just had to show them the papers before and after.

Oh wait now I get it. The UN added a category which the passage doesn't say amends the original definition.

I picked C for #23 because I was unsure if they were referring to the original or amended constitution, so I just went with the interpretation that they were referring to the IRO's constitution after it was amended by the UN Convention. Isn't the question ambiguous? #help

Sorry if this is a dumb question, but is there any difference in applying as soon as an app opens and applying like a month or two later when it comes to your chances of being admitted? (at rolling-basis schools ofc)

I like how they tried so hard to hide the right answer on that one. They even put the word "contemporaries" near to Michelangelo.

But for D to be the right answer, don't we have to assume that "various effects" refers to side effects in addition to therapeutic effects? Isn't it possible for it to just refer to therapeutic effects? The stem says "most likely", but man...that's a really subtle detail you need to catch to get this right.

JY finally slipped into using the logical notation ^ for and. I feel like an optional video on basic logical notation would be beneficial cuz writing ^ or and, v for or, etc. is slightly quicker to write. You write them so often throughout LR that the microseconds might build up and it doesn't take much to get used to the notation. The exception would be the notation for not. Slashing things looks simpler than putting a not notation before each thing.
