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 - does nothing
B - correct, if people walk then there will be more nonmoving vehicles. Even if moving vehicles emit more, with less congestion there are on net less cars which lowers commute times lowering the amount of driving happening.
C - does not do anything to help
D - irrelevant, assumes people walking take the bus.
E - if anything, this weakens the argument
A - correct, if art dealers are led by economic interests to attribute works to recognized artists, then this strengthens the concept that traditional attribution should not have special weight
B - incorrect, we are not talking about when it is originally created
C -incorrect, how does this suggest that attribution shouldnt have special weight?
D - incorrect, this just talks about the effect attribution has on the perception of the art, not why it should not have special weight
E - incorrect, irrelevant, does not address why attribution should not have special weight
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
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, who cares about other tobacco products? We are talking about smoking
B - incorrect, we don't know if the ad or the tax caused them to smoke less and also, the conclusion concerns people who stop smoking, not who smoke less
C - incorrect, doesn't help answer the question of why they stopped smoking. But also, how does this prove they stopped smoking? What if they just started smoking less?
D - correct, this proves that the ad had something to do with people not smoking because if in response to the 20 cent tax merchants decreased their prices by the same amount, then we are back to square one with the situation. So if there was no on net decrease in the amount of money people were paying for cigarettes, then it follows that the tax was not what caused them to stop. Therefore, the ad had something to do with stopping smokers.
E - incorrect, this does not address the role the ad played in reducing smoking. If anything, it just strengthens the fact that the tax had an impact.
A - this does not explain pollutants
B - does not explain in relation to baltic seals
C - irrelevant, so what if there are fluctuations
D - just because they are different doesn't explain how more means more deaths
E - correct, these marine animals would be also exposed to the pollutants and since the death rates of the other animals are higher than the scottish coast ones that it follows that the pollutants affected them as well
