I am interested! :D

I got tripped up by the wording of the stimulus.

When it says, "it does not follow that . . . Orwell read those books," I interpreted it as, "it follows that Orwell most likely did not read those books," or, "it is unlikely he read those books."

The intended meaning of, "it follows that Orwell did not necessarily read those books" makes a lot more sense, but I still think that my initial interpretation of the phrase is reasonable.

Additionally, the diction/structure of the argument is VERY strange. It starts off by saying that there is a likelihood Orwell used literary inspiration from books he read, then says that is why Orwell did in fact not do that. Like . . xD It would have made much more sense if the argumentative sentence started like so; "However, Orwell did not do that because . . ."

Thankfully, you can get the correct answer just by understanding the second sentence alone.

#question: The reason I was confused is because answer choice B sounds like it is is assuming the fact downtown traffic congestion will decrease. What if the cost of living decreases but the congestion stays the same, or goes up? Is B not assuming that it will congestion will go down? The logic map also makes it look like the profits increasing causes congestion to decrease

Well-deserved, these are hilarious xD

As many people have already said, AC (D) would still be wrong even if it said the IN of those cats without X were as big as the IN of those with X. This is because the author's conclusion is that the size of IN determines whether cats can get it, not that it guarantees infection.

I understand why AC (B) would be correct, but I was having a hard time understanding why (A) is wrong. After reading the stimulus and the AC, I assumed that sewage sludge was something that was always produced by society, regardless of whether we use it to produce fuel or not. So in my mind, it was irrelevant if current methods of disposing it was harmful to the environment or not because it would have been dumped regardless. But yeah, I can see why AC (A) would be wrong if sewage sludge is not something that is being dumped currently, regardless of its relationship to energy production

I relate to this a lot haha. I go a step further and insult the answer choice as well - "Um... okay?? You have nothing to do with the author's argument, you serve zero purpose, BE GONE"

I was tripped up on AC (E) because it says, "distorts history," instead of something like, "distorts historical awareness." I'm not sure why my brain had such a hard time accepting that part of AC (E).
