wrong question list

#help

JY suggests that sometimes we should cut a question out, keep it, and review it every so often.

So how do you do it? do you create a excel sheet for it or you create your problem set on 7 sage?

I got this wrong for both the first and the BR. But after watching the explanation video, This is how I think about this question:

1. Translate:

H thinks that extroversion is not biological decided. (Conclusion) kids tend to be more sociable when adopted by extroverted. (Premise)

J thinks the conclusion does not supported by H's reasoning. J argues that some of these kids adopted by extroverted remain introverted.

2. Question: what did J misunderstand? why did J talk back like that?

[Personally, I think I could use the technique for RRE questions on this one]

(D) biological factors do not play any role in kid being extroverted

Because J may misunderstand what H means. extroversion is not biological decided =/= biological factors do not play any role in being extroverted.

That's why J wants to say that biological factors are still matter in being introverted/not being extroverted.

Put them together, then it makes sense to me now.

H thinks that extroversion is not biological decided because kids tend to be more sociable when adopted by extroverted.

[(Explanation) J thought H means that "forget about biological factors, actually environmental factors will decide whether kids being extroverted or not."]

That's why he says that some of these kids adopted by extroverted remain introverted to argue "biological factors still matter."

first, the question stem is more like a necessary assumption question rather than strengthen to me (I even thought it was most strongly supported at the first because I was too nervous about time), and then the last sentence of the argument made me so confused. under the timed stress I chose B. but now, the more I re-read it, the more I could understand why A is the correct answer choice.

question stem: the conclusion of the argument is most strongly supported if which one is added = make the conclusion better = strengthen

Physicists claim that their peer-review system can prevent fraud effectively. but biologists claimed the same thing 20 yrs ago and they were wrong. since then, biologists have improved their safeguards against fraud, thus preventing further major incidents. it would be conducive to progress in physics if physicists were to do the same thing.

a) major incidents of scientific fraud in a scientific discipline are deleterious to progress in that discipline.

aka: incidents of fraud are getting worse and worse

if add this to the argument => physics ppl claims that their peer review system is effective to prevent fraud. but biology claimed the same thing 20 yrs ago and turned out they were wrong. since then, biology ppl improved safeguards to prevent further major fraud. [insert here-- [because] major incidents of fraud are getting worse and worse]. if physics ppl were to do the same thing, it would be conducive to progress in physics.

hope this helps.

Confirm action

Are you sure?
