i understand now since this second half of the condition is satisfied, C is the best answer. but when I read the 'may' in the second sentence I started to wonder how that impacts the condition. i didn't realize that it was connecting to the first sentence in that sort of missing piece style. i chose B and can see why that doesn't work.

i never had a mindset of viewing the author as someone that is speaking to me. that will be really helpful for myself moving forward and i am excited to try it.

answer choice C and D made me stray away from them because saying "in most cases" and "most of the info" is generalizing that 51%-100% cases would encounter this problem which we don't know. more of a strong assumption that we don't have further information on. im not sure if that is how eliminating these AC go, so please correct if I am wrong to go about it that way.

so does that mean multiple hypothesis can work, its just using our ability to find which one works out the best?

Hi there!! I had the same issue but giving yourself the patience and understanding that this information is very complex and new for our brains is a starting point. I would get really upset when I wasn't performing until I realized that my blind reviewing and video watching wasn't enough. I had to analyze why I wasn't getting questions correct and started talking to myself through the process of each question type I came across. You sort of build your own style when you have the repetition which is a dreadful process but you begin to see the progress and build your confidence.

I would say really analyze why you got the questions wrong (didn't understand the stimulus, question stem, or answer choices) I found that my biggest mistakes came from not learning what the argument was telling me and breaking it down. I have seen a major switch in my brain the more I focused on analyzing my wrong answers during BR which has decreased the time I spend on each questions. It will slowly fall in place just keep practicing! I hope that helps and goodluck!

for the last question :

Working backward from today’s languages through written classical ones allowed philologists to discover systematic changes, which in turn let them peer further into the past to posit what the unwritten PIE would have sounded like.

“written classical ONES” isn’t that last word in my entry a referential as well? i thought it was referential to language.

i wasnt able to pick up on the 3 part conditional and feel like that is why i got this question wrong. I didn't see the second sentence as a conditional because there weren't any indicators but i felt like it was a conditional when I read it.. how can i better identify this for future?

why would sabotage not be in the parsed version of the sentence? for some reason i picked that up in the process and didn't see it as a modifier.

PTA.S1.Q16 - Giordano Bruno, the Renaissance philosopher

PrepTest A - Section 1 - Question 16

For this one I was able to gather my information to see how I could even weaken this argument. Automatically Bruno was accused of being the spy. In my process of reading this question type, I was automatically thinking of an AC that would no longer make him the spy in question. AC A gave that set up exactly. Although I was able to figure this question type out, I am wondering if there is a quicker approach for weakening/strengthening question types that could help me. I felt like I could've answered this one quicker than I did, so anything helps!
