While answer choice (a) is the obvious answer for Q22, I am not entirely convinced that (c) prevents premature heart disease. The passage only states that the alcohol in wine absorbs much slower than other distilled spirits. This doesn't mean that a lower rate of alcohol absorption prevents heart disease. Please let me know if I am missing something from the passage!

Why is this question stem not a principle-type question?

@hbochjk116 I guess I was being too nitpicky for this question?

@nchoi745 A muscle is different from an organ, and a brain is an organ not a muscle.

Thanks @akikookmt881 and @swamlepow1994844 !!

Yes, I don't understand this question either. JY says that only the last part of the 1st paragraph and the 2nd paragraph talks about platypus locating its prey. But by the second sentence of the passage we are already talking about this...

I understand why each of the wrong answer choices are incorrect, but not why (B) is the correct answer. Nowhere in the passage does it state protecting the lives of other animals or people. Are we assuming this because veterinarians probably want to save animals?

Could someone explain why answer choice (E) is wrong for Q20?

On the other hand, I had trouble confidently eliminating (C). Negating answer choice (C) would state: The number of airline crashes will not decrease if pilot training programs focus on increasing actual flying time. I understand why (D) is more correct but am having trouble confidently eliminating (C).

I agree with Jamie. Still feels like the answer choice doesn't answer the discrepancy between Persian Gulf and similar Baltic regions.

I thought (B) was correct for question #9 because the paragraph 2 summarized the legal sequence of events that led to widows' potentially holding more land and therefore more rights than even some men.

My mistake was that I translated "All too many" as an all-statement not a some-statement. Tricky wording!

Hey J.Y. why have translated "Only poetry cannot be translated well" as tw -> p? "cannot" introduces group 4, so I had translated as tw -> p

I'm not entirely following what parasite hosts like shrimp and oysters have to do with anything...

Would someone explain to me the difference between answer choice (a) and (e) is?

What is the difference between "calling into question an assumption" (A) and "denying the truth of a premise" (D)? Could someone provide examples?

Did anyone get to the bottom of this?

I feel as though (A) would be MSS answer but MBT answer choice. Because how do we know none of the corporate sponsors withdrew their support. It may be that some previous corporate sponsors withdrew support, but they received financial support from new sponsors.

I don't understand how the higher proportions statement construes to (O18 that falls/total O18 reserve) and (normal O2 that falls/total O2 reserve). The passage clearly states, "a higher proportion of all water molecules containing oxygen-18," which would mean (O18/total water molecules)... Would someone please explain to me?

It's the reason why I believed (c) was the correct answer.

Would you explain why C is wrong?

I chose E, but I feel as though "In most cases the disk will have been damaged years before chronic pain develops, and in fact one in five people over the age of 30 has a herniated or degenerated disk that shows no chronic symptoms" provides some support for (c).
