For beliefs involving true dichotomies/binary cuts that are negative (e.g. I believe there is NOT...), you MUST INEVITABLY accept a new belief in order to reject another.

E.g.

I believe there are no cats in the garden.

[Someone shows me live video footage of cats in the garden]

I do not believe there are no cats in the garden.

BY DEFAULT I MUST NOW BELIEVE THERE ARE SOME CATS IN THE GARDEN.

Any rebuttal of this is even more semantically inane than the above. A is correct. B is correct. Don't regret choosing B. Would do it again.

JY really needs to re-evaluate explanations that dismiss a wrong answer out of hand when the data shows it was more commonly selected than the "correct" answer. I would have loved to hear and be informed by a legitimate explanation as to why the above example does not provide a loophole. Instead, we just get a flippant, "this is just wrong because it says so", when by saying so, it creates room for a contradiction.

Actually got to E by "do most" contradicting "whose actions, and nothing else". By definition, not implicit, but I'll take it XD.

Q1:

How are Italian Renaissance and "pre-Columbian..." equivalent to trends in modern art?

Got this right initially and wrong on BR as I couldn't justify "trends in modern art".

Confirm action

Are you sure?
