oh man I totally thought when it said dissolved that the steam made the isotopes disappear, but I didn't clock that it might actually mean remain
I realized here why I got this wrong even in BR is simply that I didn't realize the stim was saying in the second half the surveys implied something about how the population FELT about crime. It was pretty. Vague. I'm glad I reviewed all the comments and have come to understand this now though!
@BoluwatiwiAlabi I also got put off by the 'one kind', but to be honest that's why I actually ended up choosing (e) because it's not referring to general causal-effect, but the causal-effect of cultural phenomena specifically
I felt like the hardest part of the question was actually the fact that the conclusion suddenly jumps to contemporary humans without addressing the ancestors of homo sapiens. Once that clicked I realized the argument was missing that piece.
took my 9 minutes and 49 seconds. Got it right, but it fried my brain in the process. There is so much layering in this question that you really need to move away from and get to the nitty gritty. This is just bad writing-where you have to figure out what the author is really saying.
got it wrong in actual take, right in BR when I realized the conclusion was referring to the people's INTERPRETATION of that vow being a feeling rather than making that actual promise itself. God I need to read way more carefully.
I got this right in BR when I cheated and googled the definition of "economy of expression" LOL
I was also choosing between B and C and the MAIN reason I baked away from C was b/c it said "show contempt to ANYONE" guys...the principle said "that person" though... the person the joke is being played on. So wouldn't that be wrong?! helppp
Because the premise said "experienced by many victims" and I saw "not all" I was lie wait-like i don't really care if not all experienced the hiccups, the argument says "many did" so that enough. Still, a really difficult quesiton
didn't fall for the trap but was hanging on a small thread which was the fact that the hypothesis never said that the larger families was causing those kids to more likely to develop allergies-its saying the EXPOSURE TO GERMS whether they do that through a large family OR not it doesn't really matter. this was a very very implicit conclusion I saw there
everyone in the discussion wondering why C is wrong meanwhile I was so bent on it being B. LOOL
@Mina.G Really? I thought that (E) totally weakened the conclusion. Because the conc. says that by hiring the bus tour people they are trying to expand their NEW consumer base. But (E) says well actually no they're just trying to get their EXISTING consumers to change their habits.
Like everyone else I was stuck between A and E. I ended up choosing A because it best explained the statistic.
Stim says: Less car thefts happening now, but car thief's now are more likely to be convicted of stealing cars.
My immediate instinct was: "well, maybe the police have set in some stricter rules so they can catch these thieves"- but when I went to go hunt for that answer I was disappointed to find that there wasn't anything that matched my initial thought. C was saying the the opposite.
So then I started my POE.
(A) was the best choice because it explained the first part "although there are fewer car thieves..." then explains why there is a greater proportion getting caught more. Its b/c 5 years ago, there were many car thieves that used to attempt to steal them, but would abandon the cars. So, there wasn't anyone to report the theft. Now that the proportion of these thieves have decreased we are left with all the others, who obviously steal the car, and the owner notices. Now the statistic is swayed to one side since the other type of thieves have decreased.
@AdamPrice0311 Agreed. I feel like I use it when the language is really convoluted otherwise, I don't need to use it for these types of questions.
@cj3village agreed, MBT is by the far hardest. These ones aren't the easiest, but with practice become pretty doable. I would say main conclusion questions are the easiest for me!
I was SO CLOSE To picking C then I was like WAIT what does provide the basis of rejecting mean. Sorry had to cheat and googled that it means its a "must be false question". That's the only reason I got that question right. Now I know for the future HOW important it is to read the question stem!
fuck my life bro
