I was able to reach the right answer because I came up with a saying or mnemonic. I wrote down "because something is correlated doesn't mean 1 causes the other. And you can be at a higher level when you start w/ skills.

Hi, does anyone know why the answer is B and not C?
This mistakes correlation with causation. Just because less people flew that day does not mean it was due to Friday the 13th. I selected C and C is correct because the weather could have been a factor in why they did not fly that day.
E is the wrong answer and A is the right answer. Can someone explain why A is right and not E?
are we supposed to watch the explanations if we got them right on both passes? are we just blind reviewing the ones we circled and unanswered or all of them? i did all of them via BR and watched every explanation just wanted to make sure because it took two days to complete #Help
Hi, I am sure there is a better way to deconstruct the passage, but this is what has worked for me so far. Reflecting on our grammar lessons, JY discusses subjects, predicates, and details. So when I break down the passage, this is my thought process.
1. Identify question stem
2. Breakdown stimulus
2a. What is our subject?
2b. What is our subject doing or comparing?
2c. Are there modifiers (details) or referential phrases?
As a side note, there is a lot of confusing language, so when I see modifiers, I try to block them out and read on. It is important to read the modifiers, too but I try to focus on the argument.
For example,
My cat, who is a loving ragdoll, plays with a string on the floor.
The modifier "who is a loving ragdoll" is important to note, but when I read this sentence, I focus on my cat playing with the string, it makes my reading a bit quicker.
