chose A but now I see that answer wouldnt hold (please correct me if my thinking is incorrect):
'much of today's literature focuses less on the significant than H's latest novel focuses on the significant' 'it shows maturity... that far exceeds that of her latest works'
this is a classic red herring where test writers make you assume that just because someone is doing something more, they're set to be superior than the comparison. eg: i grew at the fastest rate in my class, while H grew at the shortest rate in her class. therefore I must be taller than H. this is false because the answer takes for granted that growing at the fastest rate in my class=automatic ticket to being the tallest in a full group when in fact this is not the case.
back to the question- H may have improved significantly on the focus that is significant to characterize good literature, but that does not necessarily mean today's literature focuses less on what is significant to characterize good literature. sure, today's literature may focus less but without further clarification, it still holds the possibility that it may focus more than H's (see height example).
"are you the government?"
laughed way too hard at this, definitely won't be making this mistake again lmao
why is E correct when there is no 'all' statement in one of the premises? the stimulus uses all and most arrows, but answer choice E uses two most arrows. wouldn't that be enough to render this answer choice as incorrect? #help
crossed off A and came back to it because I ended up eliminating all the answers
my first -0 on a passage!! woot woot!
also JY saying what? what? on question 12 made me laugh. lol
a lot of people advise against it but do a handful of pts untimed! and really work through all the answer choices and write down why or why not you decided to choose (or not choose) a particular answer choice. its like learning an instrument- speed will come after you materialize your steps. after you finish the untimed pts, shorten your time. personally i went from completely untimed to 45 minutes to 40 minutes until going to the original 35 minutes. then follow up with 7sage's BR method. since you have the LR bible make sure to reread each chapter for every question you missed (if youre strained for time, at least the chapter review). the bible is a beast and it has a couple tricks that you definitely want at your disposal. i went from 155 --> to 166 in 5 weeks w this method. i got most gains out of LR and after LR came to me RC followed. LG is just practice practice practice lol. no way around that section. for canadian schools you need to get over 157 at least unless you have a high gpa to compensate- a low 150 unfortunately wont cut it. you should be aiming for 160+ (or you can look at schools w holistic admissions like windsor). best of luck!!! :smile:
can assumptions be a conclusion? i feel like you can still have an assumption as a conclusion so i kept (c) as a contender until i read the rest of the answer choice
