How does answer D weaken the argument? Just b/c flints were often used for things aside from hunting, I don't see how it discredits the argument that since some hunting flints were overly-polished our ancestors possessed an aesthetic sense. I chose A, and although I don't think it is a GREAT answer,...

I found this game to be very time-consuming due to the unusual setup. It took me awhile to figure out a good way to diagram the game and to unlock the key inferences -- I ultimately went with frames. Can someone please post their setup so I can see if there was a more efficient way to tackle this ga...

Nailed it! Thanks so much.

Some educators: cover basic subjects in depth so that students can explore on their own later. Argument against this is made by saying that without understanding SIGNIFICANCE of a subject (ie, only study the basics) then self-study will be difficult. Correct answer choice is D? Can you please help m...

Your explanation was very helpful and I see the flaw in the answer I chose. Thanks!

According to the passage there are two modern criticisms of Victorian philanthropy. 1) it was inadequate; and 2) it was self-serving. Question 22 asks us which is true of both of the modern criticisms. The correct answer is D (both criticisms say that gov't involvement was necessary to cure social i...

The passage is about a recent court ruling involving a copyshop and the duplication of course-packs. The first question asks which answer choice most accurately states the main point of the passage. I chose answer D, but the correct choice was answer A. I thought answer A was too specific and got in...

Great explanation, thanks. I was more angry at myself for spending so much time on the question and still getting it wrong -- the strategy of working from wrong to right definitely is useful and is very relevant for this type of question.

This question ate up a ton of time for me because I immediately eliminated the correct answer choice! I don't see how C is correct. In the question, Willett specifically says that there is "nothing new in this idea of restricting growth" and therefore growth shouldn't be restricted. C seem...

Jared, You are on the right track but got thrown off by the wording of the question. This is an issue that came up in our class a few weeks ago: the use of the word "could" in a question prompt and its effect on what the question is really asking. Questions such as these can either be aski...

I'm curious to learn more of your thought process for 1) deciding that Open Assigment was a better fit than Numbered Ordering; and 2) decoding the inferences that led you to set up the frames. Was there something in particular about this question that tipped you off to Open Assignment? At one point ...

Makes perfect sense! The alternate example really helped me see the gap in logic. Thank you!

Thanks, Dan. That makes sense, but I am going to play devil's advocate for a second.... The disagreements of the factions inevitably come forward once they win, so ____. (B) they've got to work out their disagreements if they want to stay in power. (C) they won't always push a new ideology once they...

I narrowed the answer choices to A and C but then got stuck. I went with my gut and chose A, but I can't logically disprove C. Why is C wrong? The only thing I can think of is the use of the word "very" in the line about noneccentric lecturers. Otherwise C seems to check out. What am I mis...

Why is B correct? The question prompt mentions nothing about staying in power. Answer choice B seemed like it required too much of a leap based on the text alone. I thought C was the better answer choice. It logically makes sense (I think) and requires less of a leap. Can you explain why B is correc...

The wording of the answer choices is confusing, but I can't see why A is correct. In the question prompt, it says that scientists think that If paranormal pop culture, Then impede scientific understanding. The TV exec refutes this by noting that throughout history pop culture has had instances of gh...

This game was very tricky for me. It took two attempts to get the diagram correct and even then the questions were an arduous slog (questions 14-16 especially). Is it common to see an Open Assignment game like this where you're matching "within" one group (as opposed to matching one group ...

Thanks Dan, that was a very helpful explanation. Two things really threw me off with this question: 1) I failed to recognize that the question does NOT imply causation, merely two things coincidentally happen at once. My initial reading of this question led me to believe that "hot" -> &...

I narrowed the 5 choices down to A and E. I ultimately went with E. But according to the book, the correct answer is B.



what does this even MEAN and how does it apply to the question prompt??

The passage is about code-switching among Puerto-Rican Americans living in the United States. question 9 "The primary function of the third paragraph of the passage is to" I eliminated all answer choices except A and C. I chose A ("consider a general explanation for the phenomenon of ...
