I did not pick option A because I thought it would be out of scope since Sembene was a filmmaker not a novelist. However, my understanding was later that, since the argument extended it’s scope to “storytelling” it would be okay to use the novelist, since they are both story-tellers. Now, I just want to clarify my understanding.

If an argument mentioned that a musician is talented due to their ability to sing. You cannot strengthen it by showing that an actor is talented. This would be considered of scope? However, if an argument mentioned that a musician is talented due to their ability to express emotion through the arts, you can strengthen it by saying that research shows that actors are talented due to their ability to express emotion through arts, since it’s both in the same scope?

help. I steered away from option E because it mentioned that Sembene “comment critically.” What is the defense for this in the passage? How do I know when an answer choice is reaching or the wording is sufficient based on the information in the passage

help would there be a circular reasoning flaw if a stimulus presents 2 premises, 1 that repeats the conclusion, and another that does not repeat the premise but has a separate flaw.

help can someone please give an example of a stimulus where option C would/can be correct?

help This might be a dumb question.

I get the correct answer (emphasize the degree of unpredictability in S and O model) However, I was hesitant to pick it because I somehow interpreted it to mean that the model itself is unpredictable, not that the ideas in the model are unpredictable. I think it's because I interpreted it to mention degree of unpredictability of the model not in the model. Is there a difference in these 2? How do I differentiate whether they are discusses the model itself or elements of it.

Why is option E wrong? I know why the correct answer is D. However, I feel like if i did not read D first, I might have picked E. I feel like E draws the connection between new technology and an increase in productivity.

I thought the only reason it could be wrong is because it leaves out "notably" in discussing productivity increases. So, the new technology could be impacting the increases in productivity, not just notably. However, I then looked at option D (the correct one) and it does not mention notably.

help why is B wrong. I know why the correct answer is C. But, I read all the explanations for why D is wrong but I have a defense for all of them. The stimulus mentions that the cortex is slow to develop continuing right into adolescence. So, this means it will develop at some point during adolescence. Hence, only adults and adolescents can have these skills.

Someone mentioned, how about animals? I assume that animals can be adolescent and adults

Another explanation mentioned that adults is out of scope? Because the stimulus states “right into adolescence” one can reasonably infer that post adolescence, the cortex is developed. HELP!

Someone else mentioned how there could be some kids who are exceptions. However, that does not really work because the stimulus mentions that the cortex continues to develop into adolescence. So, doesn't this eliminate exceptional kids who develop theirs earlier

I understand the correct answer. However, it has not clicked why option A is wrong. Doesn't the argument presume that the components for the architectural style also have the same qualities. My reason is because, it conclusion is drawn form elements of both qualities, and concludes that those elements basically have the qualities of the style as a whole (beautiful and dramatic).

Help! The explanation mentions that option D is the correct answer. I get that, however, I don't understand how the answer helps the colonials assert their power. In showing a play that depicts friendship, how does that help them assert power?
