Self-study
Anthropologist: Violence is an extreme form of aggression, and is distinct from the self-expression sufficient for survival under normal conditions. █████ ██████ ██ ███████ ██████████ █████ ██ ██████████ ███████ ████ ██████████████ ████ ███████ ████ ███ ███████████ ██ █████ ███████ ██ █████ ██ ████ ███████
Summary
Violence is a type of aggression—an extreme type. Violence is different from self-expression. Violent reactions are a result of cultural conditioning.
Notable Valid Inferences
This is a MBT Except question. This means all the wrong answers can be logically inferred from the stimulus. The right answer cannot be logically inferred from the stimulus.
Some examples of valid logical inferences from the stimulus are: under normal conditions, it is not necessary for humans to react with violence; there are forms of aggression that are not violent; and there are no causes for violent reactions other than cultural conditioning.

Each of the following can ██ █████████ ████████ ████ ███ ████████████████ ██████████ ███████
a
Not all aggression ██ ████████
This must be true. We are told that violence is an extreme type of aggression, which implies there are other types of aggression that are not violent. Violence is only one manifestation of aggression.
b
The self-expression required ███ ████████ ██ █████████ ██████████████
This could be false. We know violence is a type of aggression and violence is different from the self-expression humans need. We don’t know that aggression and the necessary self-expression are distinct. The required self-expression may be a form of aggression that isn’t violent.
c
Some behaviors are ██████████ ██ ███ ████████ ██ █████ █████ ██████ █████
This must be true. The stimulus tells us that cultural conditioning is the reason people react violently. “Some” implies one or more—we have one example given to us in the stimulus, which means this must be true.
d
In normal circumstances, █████ ██████ ███ ███████ ██ ██████████ █████████████
This must be true. The stimulus tells us that self-expression is enough for survival under normal conditions, and we know that self-expression is distinct from violence.
e
Violent behavior is █ ███████ ██ █████ ████████ ████████████
This must be true. The stimulus tells us the only cause of violent behavior is cultural conditioning.
