I chose A because I made the same assumption that was made for C - that there was less documentation from Caligula's reign BECAUSE of his enemies - that they burned the records showing that he wasn't cruel etc etc.

No looking back, just because they burned some of them, it doesn't explain the fact that the few that was passed down did still say he was cruel. This is what C addresses that A doesn't address, even C still requires a (imo) stretch of an assumption that the enemies made up his cruel acts. Thought we were only supposed to make reasonable assumptions, LSAC, and not have to rely on outside info (bc not all of us learn about the roman empire as our hobby)...

looking back at this now, "successfully screened for" just means a valid screening was done on the milk and it does not provide any implication as to whether high levels of antibiotics were found. it is confusing though

I had chosen C even though I was hesitating about A

C is wrong because it's too weak for a resolve/explain question. it says "some" of the "large number" tagged made it outside, that could be just 2 birds made it out, so it's not an explanation. needs to get work done on its own

I took B to mean that the quality of the environment into which the fish are released was the same between both traditional and experimental environments, which would be needed otherwise if the traditional ones get released into a terrible environment and the experimental ones get released into a good environment, obviously the results would be skewed. But the statement is a general one that the environment impacts survival which is why the hatchery matters. if you negate, that the environment has a big impact on survival, the argument does not fall apart

B would be correct if it said teh quality is simliar between the two, but that's not what it says.

I chose A and not B because of a similar reason that lines 33-38 say music is subordinate which I took to mean less featured (ie. more words/scenery etc rather than music) - quantity not quality. Thus, quality could still be great but there's just less music in general/it's not the start.

Maybe I should not have assumed subordinate meant less in quantity not quality, but this is an instance where our training to dissect the meaning of each word backfired for me.

I guess a reason I should've crossed A out is that while author A believes that both music an dpoetry being joined in one art form dminishes the pure quality of each individually, all forms of opera have some music and words. So this example of the third type of opera is simply that music is less important than other elements, thus, it's not evidence that A is correct. An example that would be evidence for author A's belief in A would be if there was comparison to an opera that eliminated either words or music completely, and one was superior or not.

incorrectly chose B because I failed to see the comparison was between teens and other population groups rather than teens who drink caffeinated bevs. too general. had nothing to do with bevs. why did i cross out A/miss it? either didn't read it thoroughly or saw B first and chose it

Am I the only one who crossed out D because I read "successfully screened for high levels" to be that high levels of antibiotics were found...? Doesn't "successfully screened for something e.g., X" mean that X was found? And obviously if high levels were found, then it's not safe to drink

Guess I'm learning that in this context, "successfully screened for something" means that the test passed/favorable result happened, in this case, no antibiotics.

also interested!

What is the "dark matter problem" referred to in the passage (and question 14)?

#help

D is more encompassing. If A is true, D is def true. If D is true, A is not necessarily true

For question 20, I somehow made answer choice C re:continents make sense over B during blind review by assuming that the ocean floor spreading resulted in the formation of continents, and thus basalt found on continents proves that spreading did occur. However, that assumption is incorrect- nowhere does the passage talk about continent formation. after some googling, can confirm that ocean floor spreading is different from continental formation (tectonic plates are different from continental plates/continents, and are under them). idk how my brained jumped to make that logical gap

I'd also love to join if not too full!
