I'm surprised this was only 4 stars because it so long for me to decide between A or C, and I ultimately chose C:

My thought process was that the biologist is assuming they are creating an AI based on the human brain, when we do not know that's the computer scientists goal. If AI modeled after the human brain isn't the only way to create an AI, then the biologist's argument that they can't recreate the processes of the human brain is irreleant.

They won't loan to banks that are not financialy succesful

But in order for them to know total spending has decreased, they must not be investing in large financially succesful companies.

Why?

Because they pay more in interest than what they get, so they won't make loans to those companies.

Surprised this clicked for me quickly

Simply the author is restricting us to the "7 day periods" as the cause of the phenomenon. Beause no other 7-day periods, aside from the industrial one, result in changes in weather, it MUST be the industrial 7 day period causing immense changes in weather? Makes no sense.

I read B to imply to attack the premise about him being in the painting. If him being in the painting is evidence that he painted it because he's a real person, there's a sht ton of other real people in the painting, doesn't that mean any of them could have painted it too? I thought it made his appearance in the painting seem insignificant.

Don't understand how E is the main conclusion. Can't it be a premise for the first sentence? It's not absurd to criticize people for being critical. People inevitably criticize each other, not everything is positive. It makes sense to criticize people for being judgemental, which supports the first conclusion that it's not absurd to criticize people for being critical.

Though I hate the phrase "psychological fact", because the argument clearly concedes that the correlation is not universal, couldn't bring myself to select A.

Still totally confused on C. Even if the style was prevalent before WWII without AC, we're still saying there was a major change in architecture (more people going from high roof cielings to low roof cielings). Just because people were fine without it, why does that mean that the addition of AC did not prompt more people to buy them? To me it's like making the following argument:

People claim the trend from most using iPhones to Androids in 2015 because of improved camera quality

But androids were already prevalent without better camera quality

So the change can't be because of changes in camera quality.

How does that make any sense?

I think B is wrong because it's an oversimplified view of their research. That being said, it also covers more of what is said in the prompt. Not sure how we decide which is a more important factor.

Surprised this is only 2 stars but what ultimately helped me decide between A and E is that A makes tumeric less "special". If all three can lower protein accumulation, why does the high per capita consumption of tumeric guarantee it's the cause of low incidince alzheimers in India? Other countries may consume much more of rosemary and garlic, and we don't know what relatoinship that has with rates of alzheimers. A just kinda confuses the argument.

The way I decided between C and D:

D: The author's evidence is that they are running more corrections -- surely the editors wouldn't be fact-checking the articles AFTER they have been published. The last sentence is irrelevant if we realize the size of the editorial staff has nothing to do with post-publication error reporting. The source of those corrections must be from an outside source - C.

The key here, I think, is that people get stuck in the "if this is true" part of the argument. But what happens if they find her claims are false? We will just know that Sarah doesn't have psychic ability, but not whether psychic powers exist. We want to be able to logically complete the argument that whether Sarah's claim is true or false, we will be able to determine if psychic abilities exist. B allows us to do so.

C suggests that it is to their benefit, perhaps because it could encourage people to buy additional products (since it won't achieve maximum effectiveness within their trial)?

D conflicts with the claim that the product is oferred FOR FREE
