Main Idea/Conclusion: Wild cheetahs do not meet the previous estimates of the population must be in order to survive in African grasslands.
Support: The current population barely meets the previous estimates, there are not enough African grassland to support a population larger than the current population size.
A. Inaccurate? We do not know if the previous estimates are accurate or not.
B. Faster Rate? We do not know the speed of change in their habitat.
C. Pollution? Hunting? We are not provided with details on these threats.
D. (CORRECT ANSWER) At present there is not enough grassland to support wild cheetahs. They do not presently meet the estimates needed for the survival of a natural disaster. Thus, we can support they will be incapable to survive in the short term.
E. More natural disasters? Next decade? We do not know what will happen in the future
Conclusion/Main Idea: Physical Education should teach people to pursue healthy and active lifestyles. Competitive sports in most schools cause most of the less competitive students to turn away from sports
Support: They learn to think of themselves as unhealthy and do not exercise.
A.) (CORRECT ANSWER) Competitive sports drive less competitive students away from sports. The writer believes that this focus on competitive sports turns students away. Perhaps noncompetitive sports can reduce this.
B.) (TRAP ANSWER) Competition causes less competitive students (a subset of all students) to turn away from sports not most students
C.) We are not told whether or not people who are talented at competitive endeavors exercise regularly. We are given justification that there is a focus on competitive sports but no details on the talent of the students.
D.) We are not provided with information on the mental aspect’s importance and whether or not it is more important than physical ones.

Conclusion: France developed modern methods of manufacturing pencils from powdered graphite
Support: France was at war and did not have access to solid graphite which early pencil leads were made of.
A.) No support in the stimulus saying that Cumberland Britain was the only graphite deposit suitable. We are told that early pencil leads were made of solid graphite mines there but not that it was the only deposit in the world suitable for manufacturing.
B.) (CORRECT ANSWER) We do not know what Frances need for pencils was. But we do know that France did not have access to solid graphite which at the time was mined in Cumberland Britain.
C.) We are not told what the causes of the war were. We are told there was a war between Britain and France, but we do not know what the cause of it was.
D.) After close analysis, the word frequently suggests that there is more than one record of an invention made. We are only given details on the invention of pencil leads with powdered graphite. We do not know if lead pencils are of great benefit to society.
E.) We do not know anything about how pencils are made today.
Conclusion: Efforts to attract more residents should be made, the best strategy is to renovate the train station.
Support: the number of jobs in center city that people in suburban areas prefer is increasing. Train travel is less expensive than driving.
A.) (TRAP ANSWER) The argument details a specific way that the town of Osterville plans to grow and the rest of the stimulus provides a justification for it.
B.) (CORRECT ANSWER) Therefore, in most cases indicates that what follows is the conclusion/major premise of the argument. The support that is given about the number of jobs increasing in the city, and the statement that the cost of train travel is cheaper provide support for why renovating the train station is the best strategy.
C.) Yes, there are more jobs increasing but it is for those who prefer to live in a suburban town which is a subset of the residents of Osterville.
D.) Mistake of the support as a conclusion
E.) Mistake of seeing a major premise as a conclusion
Got this wrong at first I choose (C) I fell for the trap
Conclusion: The debate over the legal right of rock singers to utter violent lyrics misses the point.
Support: There is little that may not be said however not everything that should be said, out to be because words have the power to change how we see and act.
A.) There is no support for the morality of rock music.
B.) The critic states that the debate misses the point, he does not make a judgment on whether the law should be changed
C.) (TRAP ANSWER) goes against support that violence predates the rise of rock music and its power to influence people (change the way we see and act).
D.) (CORRECT ANSWER) Although it is not explicitly supported, the statement that the words have the ability to influence people helps us justify that censoring violent lyrics may help reduce violence.
E.) Goes too far stating that the elimination of violent lyrics would stop much of the violence in society
