i agree. i find D to be attacking the conclusion (most notably the section regarding that people hold onto beliefs in the ABSENCE OF CREDIBLE EVIDENCE), not the support.
i was stuck picking it though, through process of elimination. not the strategy i want to abide by every time...
if A read "each of Dove's works can be classified as either ENTIRELY poetry or ENTIRELY fiction, even though it may contain elements of both" then it would be implying there is no difference between Dove's fiction and poetry. But because of the modifier 'primarily', which implies MOST of the elements of her work (not ALL of the elements), the verbiage in answer choice A is correct.
As being question number 23, I was naturally running short on time. I saw B, and circled it. The people who make standardized tests, psychometricians (a lot of jokes could be told regarding the base word 'psycho'), well know that the stress of time will cause test takers to act impatiently. MUST read through the answer choices.
(Very annoying they use double negatives on the correct answer, which requires test takers to pause.)
I brought my outside knowledge into the problem and thought E was correct. IRL, I'm not going to believe someone who speaks on a topic they are not well versed in. But, the premise never states "only experienced naturalists can properly identify Tasmanian tigers". thus, E is irrelevant.
moving to LA in two weeks - long beach area. I'm also interested in a study partner.
