For the first passage on 66, I was down to (A) and (E) and succumbed unfortunately to (A)...maybe because it was reminiscent of the last thing I read in the passage ( lines 51-53). Is the problem with (A) that it might be true, but is nevertheless not the main point?? For some weird reason, MP q's really trip me up, more so than any other type on the RC.
Yes, you've got it exactly—(A) might be true, but is not the main point, and it is not by accident that it mirrors the last thing you read in the passage.
So, two things to learn from this:
1. Be aware of trickiness exactly like this in future bad answers. It's common!
2. Avoid this most easily by making it an absolute part of your strategy to always provide your answer from the text (and write it down; as per your study plan!) before looking at answer choices.
Keep up the good work!
With Q 5. I understand that A is smaller and can be proven or inferred. --Since we know that books will still be printed (just in different manner) we can infer that paper and binding supplies will still be needed.
That said, the tone in lines 16-20, where the author speaks about the cost of warehousing decreasing (and even says NO physical inventory), sure as hell made it look to me like A was not the correct choice. I went with C and now understand why it is wrong but DAMN this question.
Yeah, you've got it exactly right!
And I also totally get that feeling of hating a damnable question! I feel you.
do ascriptions indicate that the passage will always be advocative or more likely??
As with (almost) everything about this test, we cannot deal in absolutes; the presence of an ascription means the passage will be very likely to advocate a position, but not that it necessarily must do so.
