Re: PT1,S1,Q9-Fines levied against those responsible for certain

Does anyone have another explanation on why (A) is correct and (D) is wrong? I used POE and got (D) as my final answer. (A) just seems like it was supporting the premise.

Thanks!

Re: Q25 - For someone who interprets the lines as referring to a

If the objection is to the two patterns being unrelated which implies that it is related, then to counter it, you would have to prove that it is unrelated. That is how I interpreted the question stem.

Can someone explain to me why this is wrong?

Q16

Where in the passage does it suggest his work was "limited in perspective?" I'm not totally convinced that (B) is incorrect. Could someone please explain?

Re: Q15 - The only plants in the garden

Error of composition at its finest! If you try to ignore the formal logic illusion, you might be able to see what I mean. The formal logic is there just to make the stimulus convoluted. The characteristic of a subgroup (tulips) is applied to the group as a whole (plants). Just because a subgroup has...

Re: Q22 - There is a widespread belief

For this question type I find it necessary to figure out the flaw in the stimulus, otherwise the correct AC won't be apparent, and causes a reliance on familiarity. Figuring out the flaw is the most difficult part with this stimulus. The flaw is an uncertain use of the word behavior, and it is used ...

Re: Q11 - No one who lacks knowledge

The way I look at this question is that the author introduces a principle, "No one who lacks knowledge of a subject is competent to pass judgment on that subject." According to the author, if principle is true then it should also be true that if a political know-how is experienced (not lac...

Re: Q20 - In Brazil, side-by-side comparisons

The author makes an assumption that if the Africanized honeybees in comparison with the native brazil honeybees were superior producers, then the Africanized honeybees in comparison with the U.S. native honeybees will be superior producers in the context of domestic commercial honey production.

Re: Q4 - It is more desirable

The gist of the argument is: Socialized medicine (SM) seems to be technologically superior than privatized system (PS) because they have a lower infant mortality rate. Abstractly, a group is categorized as superior based on the phenomenon it caused. Technologically superior Socialized medicine (lead...

Re: Q20 - Students from outside the province

I think I might have a similar way to understand this question. All we know is that the proportion of non-Marklands have decreased, and know nothing about total numbers or numbers for each group. Three scenarios could be occurring: 1. 40% drop is due to the decrease of non-Markland students. 2. 40% ...

Q5 - Journalists agree universally

I have a question about the wording in the stimulus. When it says "many others" or "others" it is referring to many other reporters and other reporters, right? The first time I read the stimulus I thought it meant other people that aren't journalists, but that wouldn't give the a...

Re: Q2

The most confusing part for me about answer choice (B) is that it is referring to two documents, but in the passage it corresponds to the Article 1 of the 1945 UN Charter and a proposal for the Charter's human rights provisions. Should I not take the language in the answer choices so literally? Or a...

Q13 - Adam: Marking road edges with reflecting

I was down to (C) and (D), but ultimately chose (D). I thought by Aiesha's comparison between roads with reflecting posts and roads without, that she is implying that the driver's view of the road is not relevant to the number of road accidents. I think I might have overthought this question. She ne...

Re: Q17 - A safety report indicates that

For this question, I looked for answers that counter the effectiveness of the law, or an answer choices that show the law wasn't compiled with. Also, I noticed a shift from percentage to number. 7 percent decrease, but the number remained the same. So I was thinking that there must be an increase in...
