Q2 - Wanda: It is common sense that one cannot create

[mshinners]

Question Type:
Principle Support (Strengthen/Sufficient)
This is a weird question stem. What's important is that we're trying to find the principle that allows V's response to "work".

Stimulus Breakdown:
W: Writers need to be inspired by writing. As a visual artist, I need the things in my studio to inspire me.

V: But it should be good stuff, not junk.

Answer Anticipation:
The answer will most likely have to do with finding quality sources for inspiration.

Correct answer:
(B)

Answer choice analysis:
(A) Out of scope. V's response doesn't care about healthiness, just quality of inspiration. If you tried to make this answer fit, you were equivocating the use of the word "health" past its strict definition (to something like "health of inspiration").

(B) Bickety bam. V is all about quality stimuli, so this answer is looking good.

(C) Out of scope, but tempting. V does think that tabloids are not good inspiration, but that's different from saying they're not stimulating.

(D) V's not against messiness, per se. He's against having junk lying around. You could easily be messy by having a bunch of top-notch art piled up all over the place.

(E) Out of scope. W talks about this, not V.

Takeaway/Pattern:
When the question stem is non-standard, spend an extra second to figure out exactly what it's asking.
