Re: Q5 - Researchers asked 100

Answer C is wrong for multiple reasons. First, the survey is not observing altruism, but recording reports of altruistic behavior based on people's self-reports. Second, even if the survey was observing altruism, C is a lot stronger than what the reasoning is suggesting. To say that one cannot direc...

Re: Q14 - Psychology researchers observed that parents feel

Doesn't "D" pre-assume you are feeling emotion because "D" is If you feel emotion then your vocal cords and lungs are affected . However, the hypothesis we want to strengthen is to lead us to conclude you are feeling emotion whereas "D" takes it for granted you are fee...

Re: Q18 - Editorial: It is clear that

If you take the language of the premise to be conditional, that is Propaganda > nothing but repetition of slogans, then surely the answer is an illegal reversal and therefore the credited answer is wrong. I don't believe this was meant to be treated as a conditional. I think it is a simple equati...

Re: Q25 - Burying beetles do whatever

The reason for the first part of the contradiction is already given in the stimulus (refer to "this is why...")! We know they destroy each other's eggs to eliminate competition, but why do they care for the same eggs they didn't want around to begin with? C explains that. It's because they...

Re: Q20

I still don't understand how answer D weakens :(. The text does not say that the birds follow the scent of their home in order to find their direction. It says they use odors on the wind to determine the direction in which the wind is blowing, and build of a map of their surroundings from that (37-4...

Re: Q18

The support in psg A is definitely more "shadow-y". (B) both authors would probably disagree with this ... they think that candor helps guide litigants (you gotta be able to trust the judge's authentic reasoning in order to lean on precedent and think it will play out the same way) Hey Pa...

Re: Q26

Another way to eliminate E is by focusing on its language. Gilman's theory was not a variation on a "scientific theory." It was a variation on how a scientific theory (that is, Darwin's) was applied to "social ideology." I personally wouldn't say that Social Darwinism was a scien...
