Q1-main point
A- not mentioned
B- not mentioned
C- Para 1 says industries turn to deep well injection, not fully replaced it. Just 1 method!
*D-correct answer b/c it captures entire passage + structure (problems of deepwell)
E- true but author’s mainpoint is the problems w/ deep well injection
Q2- inference
A-passage doesn’t say this (only says landfills n stuff r expensive, not unsafe)
B- no, para 1 says it's not cost effective beyond 1800 m
*C- yes! Para 3 talks about it
D- passage doesn't discuss this
E-no, drinking water wells are shallower than waste injection (at least 300 m)
Passage 1 - Deep well injections
P1:
structure: Introduces phenomenon
Content: industries use deep well injection as an alt. method of waste disposal b/c cost-effective, but controversy exists
P2
Structure: describes 2 problems
Content: problem 1- leaks happen & allow noxious chemicals in drinking water
Problem 2- mistakes by personnel workers
P3
Structure: describes 3rd problem
Content- can’t predict how the area’s geological features will affect the injected wastes.
P4
Structure- judgment by author
Content- reiterates that deep well injection has many problems, but will continue to become popular b/c cheap and efficient
(C) is correct. In wetlands, wet conditions would make the area home to insects that eat mosquito larvae. That would keep mosquito populations down, and thus reduce the risk of disease. When the drought cuts down on predators, the mosquitoes might have a better chance to survive and spread disease.
I got this right bc I remembered negate sufficient omfg life saver
slayed this question
Can someone explain how they know C is wrong?
i hate this question but damn its good
I ate this up
i slayed this question
NAH COZ I ATE THAT UP
last night took an L but tonight I bounce back
I fudged up
I fell for answer A, but it is definitely wrong because Xavier says few people want to sit outside and breathe shitty fumes while they eat. This is a specific scenario. Answer A poses a general statement for few people wanting to sit outside while eating. It omits the other details. And Answer E is fair game (even though I dislike this question and banish it to the depths of hell) it can be inferred If both believe the restaurant was unlikely to succeed, then it's entirely reasonable to conclude both felt it was a risky venture (anything likely to end in failure is, by definition, a risky move).
Anyone else struggling taking practice tests under timed conditions? I feel like seeing the timer gives me more anxiety and causes concentration issues. If someone has experienced this and has any tips to overcome this anxiety, let me know.
Listen, I'm not perfect but this was like a 3-star question for me. So let me share how I got to right answer. I feel like a lot of people struggle with the abstract answer choices. So we should all get in the habit of plugging in concepts to make them less abstract. We can understand abstract answers by replacing the abstract language with concrete language from the stimulus. This is how I did it: answer choice E
showing that something that would be impossible (Brillo Boxes being considered a work of art) if a particular thesis were correct (appearance alone determines whether something is art or not) is actually true (if it were true that appearance alone is the factor, then brillo boxes would not be art)
I got B (correct AC) and this was my thought process:
Stimulus:
conclusion is that abstract paintings are aesthetically pleasing. How do we know this? The premise discusses a psychological study where participants were shown expressionist painting and preschool painting. Most participants chose the expressionist painting as aesthetically better.
Okay let's try to predict the Necessary Assumption. We don't know what paintings were shown. I was thinking, what if they showed ugly ass paintings that kids made and then remarkable work from artists. Answer Choice B points this out.
Answer choice B rules out the possibility that the work of kids were totally f-ing ugly. If we negate this answer and say that most of the kid's works were aesthetically displeasing, the study which ranked the expressionist paintings as consistently better wouldn't hold up!
My advice is to use POE to get rid of irrelevant answers like Answer choice C and then use negation test to rule out tempting answers like answer choice A
I love arguing with myself and creating random scenarios when I am eliminating answer choices
literally wtf is this question lmao
omgg this one made me fumbleeeee no slayyy ugh
I fumbled this question
This question was hard b/c I did not understand the stimulus lol
This video is so funny
damn those shrimps b smashing in their hometown only
I picked A b/c I fell for the trap but Ik why its wrong now thanks for this explanation bestie
Got this right LSAC accept me pls
Dependable ---> all assets
natural resources not mentioned (not all assets) -----> /dependable
Prediction: contrapositive is the correct AC
C is correct
B is wrong, we don't know the views of all the economists and naturalists. trap answer that I fell for initiallyyyy
