I got #14 wrong for the same reason, and still don't really see how the mention of the constitution doesn't weaken this as an answer choice. The constitution part is factually true, but is that really part of the main point? Why aren't any of the other specific uses mentioned in the last paragraph equally as significant? This seemed like such a big flaw that it led me to choose E.

I completely agree with this and it seems like a major logical flaw that should preclude B from being correct. The passage only talks about ONE method of carbondating which relies on the use of fault lines, but nowhere does it say that carbondating by using fault lines is the ONLY way of effectively measuring past earthquakes. Accepting this answer choice would require us to assume without justification that there are absolutely no useful methods of carbondating past earthquakes unless they rely on fault lines, and this doesn't seem to be supported by the passage.

What's your diagramming strategy?

How specifically do you approach diagramming in order to minimize the writing necessary while maximizing clarity and organization? Especially when splitting game boards, I find that I end up wasting a lot of time just copying game boards over and over again when I've already made the inferences in my head. Any tips for cutting down on the time needed to diagram without sacrificing too much on clarity or organization?
