Self-study
Hello,
I noticed that I am having trouble diagramming questions whenever I see the words "some" and "most" appear. In some cases, those words are used to indicate a some or most conditional relationship, but in other cases they are not. I noticed that sometimes I am diagramming some or most relationships where none exist, which is making questions take longer and making them more difficult for me than they really are with my skill/knowledge level. For example, I diagrammed question 22 from section 4 from pretest 70 (not sure if I can copy/paste question on discussion forum) as having some and most relationships when they didn't. When I watched JY's explanation, I realized that that problem should've been so easy, but I diagrammed it wrong. Does anyone have any advice about how to know when a some/most relationship triggers and when it doesn't? Thank you!
You can find a couple of things wrong with C. The stimulus says that children who watch TV at low levels and who have parents who are high achieving, competitive, middle-class are more aggressive. C says the if these parents were more child-centered, their children would be less aggressive. But does it mention that being child-centered means you plan your life in a child-centered way? Maybe the parent is child-centered, but they don't change the amount of time their kids view television. What if it is a combination of being child centered and allotting more time to watch TV that makes the children less aggressive? Or, the answer choice only says the parents are high achieving and competitive, not middle class. What if the inclusion of being middle class in addition to the other two qualities is the distinctive thing that makes these kids more aggressive? C can be pretty difficult to rule out, but you have to focus more on why B is correct. It is better and you can feel more confident in choosing it. You can't say television viewing is a non-factor, because the stimulus says it is in the first sentence. It's just not the only factor. Like you said, parenting styles is a focus, too. Hope that helps!
