Hey Dave,
I am wondering for Q 27 - I can see that E is supported. I am wondering why C is not correct. In Line 30/31 it explains the reasons the products were not identified. Is it because Meitner finally made her discovery, so the NEVER is too strong?
I understood this answer as saying "the entire community" - but didn't include Meitner in that group for some reason. If I did include her, then it makes sense that the NEVER is too strong.
When a passage says "Physics community" (or other broad grouping), we are to consider everyone in the passage that fits under that umbrella, correct? That seems like a silly question, but I don't want to make the error again, so want to be clear :)
First, yes. When a passage says "Physics community" (or other broad grouping), we are to consider everyone in the passage that fits under that umbrella.
Second, (C) is demonstrably false; the third paragraph tells us (lines 40-53) that Otto Hahn did identify the byproducts: barium and technetium.
would you say A and B for 27 is guilty of part to whole flaw, using what's true about some physicists to describe the whole category of 1930s physicists? in my brain somehow i'm reading A and B as too small, if that's the case bc they, unlike E, are just describing a shortcoming of a particular group of physicists' experiments and dont encapsulate the broader community?
is that assessment off? for me, since the question is asking about the broader group instead of the particular group, the answer choices seems likewise inverted, the bigness of A and B seem therefore small and specific...
i eliminated C and D bc the Load bearing aspects, but A and B gave me trouble bc they seemed to be true but not necessarily of the whole community like E
Yeah, I think that's a very reasonable frame for understanding and eliminating (A) and (B). Well done!
Keep up the good work,
