I was confused by that as well. I immediately eliminated that answer choice because it didn't compare two proposals. I guess this teaches me to be more careful in the future.

For this question, I'm confused why the correct answer is (D) instead of (B) - which is what I chose. My reasoning went something like this: if the majority residents complain about ants (RCA) -> then there will be extermination services (ES) However, the majority of the residents do not complain...

I got this question wrong as well, but when I reread the question and passage, I assume that 'intellectual ties' can be found in line 42~49.

I agree - I had made the mistake to immediately eliminate (D), because I thought it was out of scope for them to say "Chinese American talk-story" - because Kingston's style of talk-story shouldn't be representative of all Chinese Americans, imo. So I went with (B) - since lines 13~23 seem...

I suppose vik's explanation kind of clears it up for me, but I'm still confused why the correct answer is (A) - because it still seems to fit within the reasoning of the speaker to me.

I can see why (C) is correct, however, I went with (D), since I reasoned that the argument is mistaken in equating long standing safety records with safety, and I saw (D) kind of fit what I was thinking in my mind.

I think I misunderstood something there...

For this one, I chose (A) because I took the main idea of the passage and applied it to this question.

However, upon further review, is (A) wrong because the information in the passage does provide support for it in Paragraph 1 (that the author later tries to disprove)?

Thanks!

I have an issue with this one. In the stimulus is says doses larger then half a gram while question D says just half a gram. Because of this I took way longer then I should have to answer this question. Where did I go wrong? Should I just have used POE to get to D. Thanks The stimulus actually says...

I chose (C) because I interpreted it to mean that the high regard confused modern scholars, thus resulting in the misunderstanding of ancient politics. I had a problem with (D) because I took the passage to mean that the power of the Athenian aristocracy was never diminished in the first place, so I...

I don't understand how to arrive at the answer for this question. :/

Thanks for the explanation for (E), but I still don't understand where (A) is found in the passage.

I just don't understand this very well. I know that the answer should have some sort of double pronged approach, but I cant really see how (B) is the best answer. :/
