What about the first sentence, saying that the US is "far behind"? Would that not indicate that the volunteer JLM com are worse somehow in the US (concluding the only diff is that US is voluntary)? I feel like A is just too presumptuous...everyone is referencing the second sentence but how do we know reducing occupational injuries was the only measure of success we were looking at? Initially it seemed like a contradiction almost if you view success solely as reducing occup. injuries because how could the US be "far behind" while having the same rate of occup. injuries? there must be some other measure of success, which led me to believe that making JLM's mandated by law to be right...

please help!!!!

my rushed brain took in AC C as Judy had made a promise to the doctor-- if this was the case, would AC C be right or am I missing something? thanks!!

for question 5, I chose D. This is because I thought the encryption system would be universal to the company, i.e. if some workers had it, the boss would definitely have it as well. This, as the author mentioned, would lead to just slightly more of an inconvenience (I modified to slightly because with this system it would only be a single keystroke), but wouldn't it, if people are thinking they're sending encrypted emails but actually everyone has the system guarantee only a minimal level of privacy and wouldn't be worth the cost? I don't get how, if everyone has it (because its a system), that it would reduce the difficulty of attempting to safeguard the privacy of email?

Any help would be appreciated!!

on a different question explanation, it was said that we should try to parallel the degree of certainty as much as possible. I was between A and E, and I decided that E, as others below have commented, that the A or B nature didn't align enough, but I also thought because it had a higher degree of certainty than "we know" (it had intelligence reports indicating), then that isn't as good as A. I thought of the general form as

We know if x, then y. Not Y, so no X.

This conformed roughly to the stim and AC A, especially regarding the level of certainty. Can someone please help me understand why and when the degree of certainty should be used and when it shouldn't? JY just kinda dismisses A as if it's stupid, and that made me confused :/

could someone help me out with 14? I am noticing a pattern of getting the author's primary purpose questions wrong, and it seems like JY thinks they're very easy. I chose C, since I thought the word "criticize" was too strong in D, because the author didn't explicitly "go after" the European theories, just essentially implied they weren't complete/universally applicable. Can anyone help me either with this specific one or strategies for identifying the author's purpose? this is a struggle for me! thanks!

for anyone somewhat intimidated by 5, if you have the time, I would advise somehow crossing off all the lines that are exactly the same (in this case it's just the first line of each AC), because then you have less to read when you're panicking and trying to find what is actually different about them! notice where each one diverges from the other and that helps a lot!

Entering data into problem sets taken on paper

Hi all, apologies if this has already been asked or is very clear to others, but I'm wondering about the entering of problem set data (what I chose for each question on problem sets in the CC), if I took them on paper (printed the pdf off), and then went through it. I don't want the analytics to "think" I did the PS in like 1 minute for example, because I could enter the data in a minute, but I actually took say 7 minutes.

Does anyone know how to do this, if it affects timing or anything?

Thanks!
