Hi! I would like to join!
I believe the best way to attack this question is to notice the disconnect between an author writing in order to give pleasure and people actually receiving pleasure. What if people receive pleasure regardless of the author's intention. Answer choice D bridges that gap.
Hard question for sure. I think C ultimately leaves open the possibility that since people are unsure of their majors, more could become chemistry majors over time. E is subtle, but it is the only one that gives a reason why chemistry could become more unattractive to students after they have enrolled.
One of those questions that upon review seems so obvious but in the heat of the moment seemed so hard. More kinds of lamps is meaningless! So what if they had more kinds, that say absolutely nothing about raw numbers.
The phrase "too often" really tips you off to the answer. If something is done "too often" then it is overused. Wish I had noticed that the first time around! It pays to read close.
Yes! You have nowhere to go but up. With the right work ethic and mind set you could easily improve much more than 10 points.
I generally consider this question type to be one of the more difficult ones. It is also important to understand the difference between MSS questions and MBT questions. MSS answers ostensibly could be false but are heavily implied/supported by the stimulus while MBT answers MUST BE TRUE. In MSS questions, it is incredibly important to keep in mind the scope of the argument. It is very easy for the test makers to pray upon assumptions you might be making while reading the stimulus. This is why it is important to take the stimulus at face value. For example: generally answer choices that say "X is the most important factor for Y" are going to be WRONG. However, it is easy to make that mistake because you might be thinking "well the stimulus talked about X being a factor in Y, and X is the only factor they mentioned, so X must be the most important factor for Y. This is an error!
