Question Type:
Illustration (Principle)
Stimulus Summary:
Principle - You should always have someone else check your work to find mistakes you might miss
Answer Anticipation:
This Illustration (Principle) question presents a principle in the stimulus and asks us to find a situation that matches up with it. We should understand the principle—our understanding is in the Summary—and then head to the answers. The right and wrong answers are going to come down to the details, so we should be very precise with analyzing them.
Answer Explanation:
This answer states that people should have others check their writing for typos since those who don't know in advance what is meant to be said (i.e., people who didn't write it) are better able to find them. This is the principle in the stimulus applied to writing/typos, so it's the correct answer.
Key Takeaway:
Illustration (Principle) questions have a few different variations—this one had the principle provided and the situations that you needed to compare it to in the answer choices. When you have this version of this question type, focus on the details—they need to match up exactly for the answer to be correct! -
ETwo people going out Remaining source text redacted.
Why choice E is not credited
Incorrect. This answer isn't about having someone error-check your writing, so it's incorrect.
