Question 16. I am currently taking a little bit of an issue with the correct answer (A). I see that it is going for being qualified by using the word "probably." The passage says the eggs are formed in autumn and in spring - not in winter. Why would I care about there being higher temperature in the winter if the eggs from the autumn are already formed and the eggs from the spring have not been forming yet? If both of those seasons had normal temperatures then the eggs would never have been exposed to abnormal temperatures during their formation. This means C would be correct... the eggs are formed in autumn and would be unaffected by the higher temperatures of winter.
Any explanation would be appreciated. Did the passage indicate that the eggs continued to form throughout the winter and only began forming in the autumn?
I understand why this question is correct but I will not be able to understand this much language under timed conditions. If you want to guess.... B is the only answer choice using the word "some." Some is broad... its good... hard to be wrong. If you have B left over and another answer choice.... the broad answer choice is often correct. It isn't 100% but on these hard questions it could really be the difference maker. Pick the broad language on faith and move on for the easy stuff.
I understand this question but I hate the wording. It was a tossup between D and E. If you read D it tempts you to think that maybe money is created out of thin air by creating more construction projects and so the $600 million is irrelevant somehow... yet the answer isn't satisfying. E is majorly different in that the refund to the taxpayers is still occurring - this the tiebreaker... BUT it doesn't actually say it that the refund occurs in the answer. Seriously fuck them for not saying the refund occurs in E. I understand there is enough evidence to know that the refund occurs from what E says... but that is stupid how they word it. Give me all the facts clearly so I can logically reason. Referential phrasing bullshit
A is a pretty terrible answer choice to be putting on the test. In my world... ecclesiastical = church
I see why D is correct and I almost picked it. I don't know why I picked C... it kept speaking about financial matters in the stimulus and I knew that this was one of the hard problems...
Another way of getting this question correct is by recognizing it is a science passage and being a Biology major and knowing that all Hominidae are Chordates. Chordate features: notochord, post-anal tail, pharyngeal gill slits, and nerve chord. Pretty tricky without that though..
I picked E. The question stem was written differently for sure. This is the first time I have encountered a question stem that switched gears like this.
I agree with this answer. If the number of trees increased and the number of fruits increase it would not change the proportion. Basically ignore numbers once proportions comes into play (at least in this case).
I think you are taking a good approach but I would eventually start watching videos about the questions you get wrong or were not sure about ONLY. I think the main reason (at least in my case) is due to time. If I had infinite time then I would watch every video 10x. I think I would rather spend extreme amounts of time learning everything I possibly can about the really hard questions than spending loads of time watching videos about questions I found to be easy. If you get the hard stuff correct then the easy stuff will follow... or so I think.
I noticed the assumption. He wrote "MALPRACTICE" on your document. Wow.
I got this correct but I will say the word "compatible" makes things a little different IMO. At least the way I get my impression of the answers is changed by that word.
I chose B because the answer was supported. I felt that C was too specific for something that I did not know about. Really if you just remember the loose rule that MSS correct answers are usually generalized so that it is difficult to have them unsupported, then you would get the credited answer. B is just harder to disprove relative to C. Li had exactly 40%? She had the exact average? WTF is this?
I selected E and during blind review didn't notice the "any" so much. I noticed the disgusting switch on the word "medicine" to "exercise." This is a good example of an embarrassingly wrong answer... that seems to have tripped some people. This one was the hardest in the section for me. I got the others right, but this was improper reading. We should be doing these timed, right?
Nevermind... found it. Misreading is my weakness
