No pressure to meet regularly, but would be nice to know more people studying around Boston area for fall.

Interested
Posting my WAJ cuz I like what I wrote lol:
Go me I figured this out on my own. A is correct because the stimulus is saying we have these crops that produce toxins that don't need to be sprayed w insecticide and they're genetically engineered. And if we introduce them more widely it will help wildlife populations recover because they aren't sprayed with insecticides. So my first thought was hmm there's an assumption here that the toxins won't hurt the wildlife populations further. But there's also an assumption that if the insecticides aren't sprayed, the wildlife populations will somehow recover, assuming that we don't need anything else but these crops to make that happen. A is sort of like that, but a little different, saying of course that we need to assume the genetically engineered crops will cause less harm than the old crops sprayed with insecticide to populations. If this wasn't true, and it caused equal or more harm to wildlife, then wildlife will certainly not recover. E is incorrect because we don't know in every single situation why genetically engineered crops may help wildlife recover; we just know they helped in this situation because there weren't insecticides sprayed. B is incorrect because the argument isn't assuming we only need to reduce insecticide slightly, it's saying the widespread reduction will help recover.
oh god not the far off and exotic corners of causal reasoning
#help For A, it's saying if deeper levels are affected, then upper levels are too. But the stimulus says the skeptics thought the deepest level measurements were wrong, and it doesn't say anything about the upper levels...so why do we care about the upper levels to disprove the skeptics? I'm missing something.
I'm also on East Coast, scoring in low 160's right now. Thanks.
I live in Boston and have been studying for the August test since February. Feel free to message me!
I'm looking to chat with people about questions and would be down to go through some for free with you. I'm PT-ing in low 160's and taking real thing in Jan.
