Q8 - Letter to the editor: Your article

I am in the midst of reviewing PT 63, and I wrote out an explanation of 8, so I thought I would share it here in case anyone could find it useful. The writer says that the editor was wrong to criticize the claim that more wolves on V Island are killed by hunters each year than are born. This is beca...

Q7 - The cause of the epidemic

While reviewing PT 63, I wrote out an explanation of 7 to clarify it to myself, so I'm posting here in case anyone finds it useful. Comments/criticism always welcome :) The gist of the argument that the correct answer choices will weaken is: During an epidemic, many Athenians were recorded to have t...

Q19 - Anthropologist: It was formerly believed

Another explanation I wrote out. Hope it helps someone, and feel free to comment/criticize! The argument says that DNA testing proves that homo sapiens did not interbreed with Neanderthals, the proof of this being that current human DNA is significantly different than that of the Neanderthal. We nee...

Re: Q17 - Educator: Traditional classroom education

Hi, I interpreted this question a little differently. After reading the stimulus, the last sentence seemed tacked on, and the crux of the argument is: Traditional classroom education is ineffective because it isn’t a social process , and only social processes can develop insight . I thought of it si...

Re: Q23 - If an act of civil disobedience

I thought the previous explanations were good, and I figured I'd just add mine as well, just in case some people out there understand things in terms of diagramming. Hope someone finds it useful! This question defines civil disobedience as willfully breaking a specific law in order to bring about a ...

Re: Q19 - Professor: One cannot frame an accurate

Well, the fact that you narrowed it down to A and C is good because these are the only answer choices in which we see the validity of one argument being compared with the validity of another. The big difference between the two choices are: (A) says that the professor attempts to show that a piece of...

Re: Q11 - A rise in the percentage

So from the stim we know there was a rise in the percentage of 18-yr-old recruits and a rise in the percentage of high school dropouts. Because these rises correlate, the arguer concludes that recruitment rates for 18-yr-olds heavily depend on recruitment rates of high school dropouts. (A) One thing...

Re: Q11 - Students asked by a psychologist

The key information in this stimulus is that students "vastly overestimated " how many people thought they were lying, that volleyball players' teammates noticed their lackluster performance far less often than the players expect , and that a small fraction of people notice a student's fun...

Re: Q18

But there is support for C: Line 54: "Walker won over this audience by refining the cakewalk" If she refined the cakewalk she changed the choreography. Line 64: Many newly rich industrialists found admiration in the grand flourishes of HER version. That means her version added grand flour...
