Re: pt 42 S4 Q5 researchers have found that, hours after birth

Hey Noah, I am still a little confused by this question. Based on your explanation of the answer choices, we are meant to equate "hours after birth" with an inability to learn a skill. I took that to mean the opposite because I thought that something that took time (even if its measured in...

Re: PT42, S2, Q18 - While it is true that bees' vision is well

I have a problem with answer choice A, not because it is out of scope but because it seems irrelevant. Just because other insects which have similar structures don't use the same process shouldn't really have any bearing on the "chicken and egg" relationship between bees and flowers. Just ...

Re: PT 45 S1 Q21 - Geological record...

I guess I confused as to how you've determined the contrapositive of "some" to mean "all." I thought that the opposite of "no[t]" was "all" and "some" and "no[t]" I believe are different. I'll give an example of my issue. If some of Sally's...

Q23

Hello ATLAS, I had a lot of trouble with this whole passage. I ran out of time which is why I got a few wrong, but I'm still not able to fully understand the questions and answers. On 23, I had originally crossed out each answer choice, and I simply was forced to guess at the end. I understand in th...

Re: PT 32 S1 Q18 - Until 1985 all commercial airlines

I also put B instead of E because I had a problem with the fact that E mentions a specific year within the range "prior to 1985." Is it only because the first sentence states that "all commercial airlines" replenished every 30 minutes that we can infer that what happens in any ye...

Q6 - Wood-frame houses withstand

I understand that an answer for this question does not have to be found directly in the prompt, but how is C more correct than A? To me, both require further assumptions for either to help explain the results of the earthquake. In C, one must assume that flood-damaged walls affect their ability to h...

Q17

Given the primary purpose of the passage (Q14) is to "argue that a certain discipline should adopt a particular methodology," I cannot understand why Q17 is not B. The second paragraph seems to introduce the reader to the "particular methodology," and then the third and fourth di...
