I live in Philly - would love to join! What's App or GroupMe would work best for me
Yes, maybe most workers did file for compensation on the day they received their injury but that does not serve as a competing explanation for why there was a sharp increase in the number of claims once the factory closed. Sure, you can infer that these workers might have an ulterior motive for making these claims only when the factory is shut down but that still leaves the door open for what that exact ulterior motive is. Why can't it be that they are taking taking advantage of the situation. The other answer choices give another reason besides greed for why this occurred, whereas this answer choice leaves the door open.
A) To me, A just jumps out as completely irrelevant. We did not talk about the appearance of any species in the stimulus so how could this be supported? It can't...Bye.
B) I originally chose this answer because I was careless. We cannot assume the answer choices are true. The answer choices are possible conclusions, but they MUST be supported by the premises in the stimulus. The mistaken negation lured me in but it will not anymore.
C) I also did not see any relevance. We're talking about some bees and some flowers throughout the entire stimulus, and now we're talking about some other group of bees and flowers? Unrelated to the stimulus. Additionally, we can make no claim about whether some group of bees can pollinate any species of plant. The stimulus does not talk about it so where would the support even be? Adios
D) This is just irrelevant. Who cares about most flowers? I don't. I just want to know about the some. A theme of the incorrect answer choices here is that they are trying to play on the surface level vagueness of 'some' - don't fall for it! They want you to think, "some must mean these other groups exist and hence a plausible answer choice." No, wrong. Some only refers to the some in the stimulus - don't assume based off of vagueness that other groups have to exist.
E) Forest and the trees. One sentence in the stimulus is enough to choose this answer. The stimulus mentioned that some bees can only feed from one type of plant. Conclusion: If those plants were to go extinct, then, of course, those bees could also go extinct. Not a crazy assumption that you need food to survive.
Hey there! Don't be discouraged. The best thing to do is just drill, drill, drill. Start from PT 50 and do LR sections untimed until you get the score you want. I would avoid blind reviewing in the untimed drilling phase. Just keep a journal of all your missed questions along with explanations for the correct answer and why the wrong answer is wrong. Once you are ready, transition to timed sections. Consult the curriculum as you drill in order to reinforce your approach to each question type. Good luck!
