Any advice for someone whose score has been plateuing? I've been scoring in the low 160s consistently and just want to hear from those who have improved from this point. The questions I'm getting wrong are evenly spread out amongst the sections.
A - correct, this establishes the fact that the poets had the Homer works in their possession, but the only reason why they didn't choose to translate them was that they just had no demand for them. It clears up a potential alternating hypothesis that they just didn't have the works of Homer to begin with.
B - incorrect, it does not matter if they are similar. We are looking to explain why they didn't translate his works.
C - incorrect, Indian and Persian works are irrelevant to our argument concerning Homer's works.
D - incorrect, we aren't concerned with modern poets, we are focusing on the Medieval ones.
E - incorrect, this has nothing to do with Homer.
A - incorrect, irrelevant to the question of how narrow boards are status symbols.
B - correct, this establishes that if they are similar in cost, then a bigger house on net would spend more money on their floor than a smaller house due to their sheer size.
C - incorrect, this has nothing to do with why floorboards are status symbols
D - incorrect, this is irrelevant to the status symbol argument
E - incorrect, irrelevant as we are talking specifically about how narrow boards are status symbols
