Is there any way to do notes on questions after blind review of a PT? The only option I see right now is that we can only do notes during blind review.

I picked the right answer but what took me a long time was the fact that a "shallow bay" could mean that the cold water is near the bottom, but since it's shallow, you don't have to go out onto the ice to fish for the trout that are at the bottom. I think I might have thought way too hard about it.

My understanding for why E was right and not C is because in C, the "has stated" indicates that Dr. Treviso might have made a statement generally about how long humans can hold their breath under water, and not anything in direct response to the event at hand. In E (and the stimulus), the expert is responding directly to the event at hand to insist that it couldn't have been.

No because an incomplete fossil record doesn't necessarily mean that there are older fossils to be found. You can have found the oldest fossils of a species, but there are still younger fossils yet to be found, that would be an incomplete record.

The way I ruled this out by negating C was because an incomplete fossil record doesn't necessarily imply that there are still older fossils yet to be found. You can imagine a scenario where you've found the oldest fossils to exist, but you have not found all the fossils younger than that. That's an incomplete fossil record, but you've still got the oldest ones, meaning that you can still make the conclusions about one species being older than the other.

A little unsure what you're confused about, but I hope this helps: Monica's whole argument is that the sculpture is really cool to true art-understanders and that the public is artistically dumb, therefore don't listen to public opinion. Hector's argument is that for a public sculpture in a public space for the public benefit, the artistic quality of the piece doesn't matter. Even if Monica is right and the sculpture is artistically awesome, or she's wrong and the sculpture is actually artistically bad, Hector can still reach his conclusion that the public opinion should ultimately dictates what happens to the statue. So B can't be right, because whether Monica is wrong or right, that changes nothing about Hector's argument.

You should just think about if the negated version of A means that Hector's argument falls apart. If you can negate A and Hector's argument is still intact, then A is not an assumption upon which Hector's argument depends. This is where what JY is saying becomes relevant.
JY says that A is overly broad: the public good in "public opinion on an issue affecting the public good" can be a lot of things besides sculptures in a public square. Let's take a look at what the negated version of A might look like:
No matter the what (or whatever) the public's opinion is on an issue affecting the public good, that public opinion does not always need to be acted on, bla bla
Now lets say that the public good in discussion is not sculptures but trash collection (in NYC). All the residents are weird and the public opinion is that they want to put the trash bags on the sidewalks in the open air outside instead of in large dumpster containers. This might be a situation that aligns with the negated version of A: you don't ALWAYS need to listen to public opinion, just put dumpsters out and make residents put their trash in them against their will.
But in the specific case that a sculpture is made for the public benefit in a public space, should the sculpture should be taken down if the public dislikes it? Hector says yes. And the negated version of A accommodates Hector's argument: you don't always need to act on public opinion, but this could still be the one case where you should.

I picked A and then BR'ed to B. I basically ruled it out because just because there are other types of erosion besides water, that doesn't mean they build terraces. For example, there could be wind erosion. But if you don't know whether or not wind erosion means there are terraces or not, that doesn't do much to your argument.

I ruled out B for #22 because if you can substitute any material for any other one in the process of producing semiconductors, then anything could come and replace peptides as more commercially viable. I picked D because I assumed that "initially" and "subsequently" was lined up with when they found a few peptides, and then when they found 20 more, respectively. Then it would seem like they're getting more effective at finding peptides.

The main thing I have trouble on is how you translate something like older adults control disposable income into a logic statement with arrows. Maybe I'm relying too much on the translation sheet. #help

I just figured C was wrong because it doesn't make a single mentioned of ancient societies or hunter gatherers specifically.

I dislike this question. I had a hard time seeing what "trivially" in the stimulus was even referring to. It seems to say that "anything we do" is trivial. But C seems to be saying that the "claims" are trivial. How are "claims" and "anything we do" the same thing?

Okay it's not that I think that the last sentence necessarily has to be a trap, but I genuinely feel like the last sentence is an example of the "ignoring the crucial distinction" in the "But" sentence. Anyone else?

This is basically how I got it as well. To put it simply, the conclusion says "more aesthetically fulfilled than before," but nothing about E tells me that seeing the additional contemporary art piece will make me more fulfilled than before.
