C is wrong because it's describing a sufficient condition, we need a necessary condition. Key word in the conclusion is MUST.

yes agreed - immediately ruled it out for me

You don't have to assume that actos were a significant part of Chicano theater, it says it in the passage. "Expanding beyond the initial setting of flatbed-truck stages at the fields' edges, the acto became the quintessential form of Chicano theater in the 1960s." Also, the passage makes it pretty clear that satire is an important element or "prominent feature" of actos. "According to Valdez, the acto should suggest a solution to the problems exposed in the brief comic statement, and, as with any good political theater, it should satirize the opposition and inspire the audience to social action."

This one is ridiculous but is a good example for why close reading is so important. I got it right :)

This was hard but this is how I solved it. We know there needs to be some permeable rock so they can drill per the first paragraph. We also know that under the "best conditions," stated in paragraph 2, there needs to be some separation between the aquifer via impermeable rock. Since aquifiers are typically above the waste dump areas, it follows that we need to some impermeable rock above the injection site. We also know it needs to be at minimum 300 meters before the surface. Therefore B is the best answer.

@Stas1973 Your analysis is identical to mine. :)

@andreagrss11962 wondering about this too...some of the jargon made it seem more "technical" to me

@shippiinguyen this is what made it clear for me it was B

Aversion to glucose is not the same thing as resistance to pesticide!

The way I thought about this is, showing land animals doesn't PRECLUDE showing sea animals.

most scoops

@SMPA2017 That's exactly how I got to AC C.

B almost got me for a second but there is no conditional logic in the first sentence. In D there is, which mirrors the stimulus. This is why it's important to read all of the answer choices!

I got this backwards twice after attempting to do it in my head but it made a lot more sense once I wrote it out. I correctly identified the conclusion and relevant premise but reversed the sufficient and necessary conditions.

HECK YEAH

D made me pause, but it's just not descriptive of the argument.

C almost got me. Good reminder to read all the answer choices.

@Hello I definitely got caught up in the example

@OwenTrela Well we know most well-designed public spaces feature artwork. We don't know that coffeeshops that are well-designed fall under that category. It could be that none of them fall under that category at all. You might be conflating "public places" with "well-designed public places."

#help Can we eliminate E because the conclusion is less certain than the stimulus? ('must" vs. it is likely that")

@jessegrewal08585 Same! I thought this was one was pretty tricky. Although I got it right, i thought it would be at least a 4 star question.

I got this one correct. One thing I also thought eliminated C was the part of the conclusion that said "are likely to be forgotten.." while the conclusion of stimulus is stronger and more certain "the contemporary novel is INCAPABLE of making important new contributions." Am I off-base?

These videos make so much more sense than the set prior lol.

3/3 but need to improve timing lol
