Re: Q13 - The solution to any environmental

Hi, I was just wondering how one would go about writing the conclusion out as a conditional statement; conclusion being, "As a result, few serious ecological problems will be solved unless the solutions are made economically enticing." I was thinking few could be turned into more than few ...

Q4

We are asked to find direct support for a statement about how the critics viewed Tutuola's work. The main purpose of the passage is to act as response to the (undue) criticism that Tutuola has received. The criticism being: Tutuola takes too much liberty with works that aren't original and he uses l...

Q5 - The hormone testosterone protects

I didn't see an explanation for this one so figured I'd give it a go. P1 - testosterone protects brain cells from injury + reduces levels of protein B-A P2 - B-A causally contributes to Alzheimer's P3 (int. conclusion) - people whose brain cells are susceptible to injury are probably more susceptibl...

Re: Q16 - People who do not believe

I'm still very unsure of AC B. I saw that B fit into the sufficient condition like this: ~ believe others distrust --> confidence in one's own abilities --> confidence in the trustworthiness of others --> see challenge. I can't figure out the fine point of nuance between confidence in trust...

Q22 - Because the native salmon in Lake Clearwater

I'm having trouble eliminating B-- I see why A is the correct answer, but I see B in the same light. Wouldn't it strengthen the argument if native salmon also compromised two populations that didn't interbreed, giving claim to the fact that the environment is really hardy and really shapes the fishi...

Re: Q24 - Columnist: The amount of acidic

I was down to A and E, and I chose E. I read the thread a few times over and I'm still not getting why A is correct, mostly because I'm unsure of what it means. Can A be ruled solely on the basis that it's talking about increased level of acidic rain when we are only concerned about decreased amount...

Re: Q21 - Safety consultant: Judged by the

Just wanted to add my 2 cents to this... I went back and forth between C and E during practice and review and it was spectularly difficult for me to choose between the two- I inevitable ended up choosing the wrong one both times because of reasons already mentioned (grantspam2).

Q5 - Rats fed high doses of artificial sweetener

I'm having a hard time understanding why B is the answer (I incorrectly chose A). A: My understanding was that urine proteins in rats work with the sweetener to form the crystals, and if mice don't have that protein then it would make sense that they don't get bladder cancer, since the crystals that...

Re: Q13 - Standard aluminum soft-drink cans

I'm surprised more people didn't have an issue with this one.

There are so many moving components :sh...

Re: Q1 - Planting peach trees on

The stim lays out the following: Makes more sense to plant peaches than apricots-- why? individual peach tress cost less to purchase peach trees also begin to ...

Re: Q18 - All anarchist novels have two objectionable characteri

I disagree with the above posters, respectfully of course. Eliminating answer choices simply because they do not contain the two characteristics of an anarchist novel could lead you astray. Take the following analogy as an example: Gary is tall(T) and skinny(S). Therefore, it is permissible to punc...

Re: Q21 - Bank deposits are credited on

I am just curious about how to diagram the "only when" in stim. Is deposit before 3PM sufficient because of the when?

Kind of like how it is with "only if"

Re: Q13 - Committee member: We should not

I'm wondering the same thing as ezraryu and john. There seems to be a jump from listing these jobs in stim to claiming they are important. THat's what led me to chose D over A. Also, with principle questions, we can generally go over and beyond what's stated in the stim (or at least that's what I th...

Re: Q6 - The distance that animals travel

I was down to C and E for this one and incorrectly chose C. The stim says size of group and distance travelled is correlated to diet, which in large part, depends on animals' face and teeth. I didn't choose E because it states size of face and teeth would help to determine if it was a herd animal bu...

Re: Q26 - Science Adacemy study: It has

I don't like how the question is worded at all. I didn't notice the flaw in the critic's argument so I wasn't looking for a flaw in the AC (and so I incorrectly chose D). I understand why E is correct though. Just for future reference, does 'most adequate evaluation of logic' usually mean find the f...

hyewonkim89, same thing happened to me. During a timed run, I chose the correct answer (C) but after, when I was reviewing, I thought B was much better.
