Self-study
Was anyone else completely stumped on how to even go about this question? I’d love to be able to discuss it._

#help I really don’t understand how B can serve as a proper answer. I understand that the other answer choices are very wrong but B doesn’t really make all that much sense. I correctly identified the conclusion within the passage and had no problem identifying the rest of the argument parts. However, the passage talks about how such a resistance SHOULD create enormous amounts of heat, but no such increases in temperature have been observed. Thus, how can the present theory fail to explain current earthquake data when no such data even exists??? This AC makes it seem as though such changes in temperature have been observed and recorded but have been ignored by the theory in question. I’ve read most of the comments on this thread but it is still not clicking for me. I would really appreciate some insight on this, thank you.
HI! Yes, it is possible to have the conclusion anywhere within the stimulus. Although it is true that often times last sentences WON’T be the conclusion, this cannot be taken as a concrete rule. What matters most is paying attention to what is being supported by what, and clearly the conclusion here is attempting to be supported by everything that came before it.
