Sam here - I sometimes forget they will throw in premises to confuse us :

Hi there - I can relate to your thought process because I picked A too.

I picked A too - I misunderstood and thought that there was a link between evolutionary pressure to ensure a diverse gene pool would result in smaller goats achieving greater reproductive success = smaller goats :(

I picked E too but when JY made the remarked then it's not a symphony - sorta clicked for me.

Thank you for sharing your elimination process!

I chose E because I linked popularity with short-lived items :( - after watching J.Y's explanation B makes sense and your comment further helped to clarify the correct answer!

Thank you Juliet - looking forward to the webinar to learn more.

Omg - this is exactly what I thought too. But after watching the explanation video it somewhat clarified why the answer is D.

That's a great perspective - I should have picked up on the keyword "never" which is too specific!

I had the same issue - I picked A because in the passage it mentioned "people's opinion changed very little" plus the generalized pattern to follow. However, I'm realizing after the explanation video it was over generalized and I should have analyzed the survey data given.

#help - I couldn't figure out what keywords to look forward when figuring out the conclusion. Would it be safe to say that "as plausible as this may sound" be an indicator to look out for a conclusion or premise?

That's what I also selected as the conclusion but couldn't verify if I picked the right one when going over the answer in the video. The trigger word for me was also failing to vote so picked A) not neglect to vote :)
