Incorrect. While they're treated with disrespect more often than those with high self-esteem, there's no indication that most interactions they have are actually disrespectful. They also feel disrespected more often than those with high self-esteem, but the argument doesn't establish how often that is. They could be rarely disrespected but always feel like they are, or nearly always disrespected and right most of the time. There's no guarantee this is true.

Incorrect. There's no causal language in this stimulus, so a causal answer is unlikely to be correct. In this question, there's no indication that the disrespect is causing the low self-esteem.

Correct. Argument or Facts:
Facts

Question Type:
Argument Completion

Stimulus Summary:
People treat those with low self-esteem disrespectfully more often than those with high self-esteem. Also, when treated the same, those with low self-esteem think it was disrespectful more than those with high self-esteem. Therefore . . .

Answer Anticipation:
Argument Completion questions usually deal with comparisons, and they usually combine all the premises together. Here, if people with low self-esteem are treated disrespectfully more often, and they perceive it more frequently, then they would really feel disrespected a lot of the time. No respect, they'd tell ya. It happens more than they'd like to admit.

Answer Explanation:
This answer is very close to our anticipation. It compares the two groups compared in the stimulus, and it aligns with the low self-esteem group both being disrespected and feeling that way more often.

Key Takeaway:
For Argument Completion questions, focus on comparisons when they're present, and find an answer that sticks to the ideas presented in the stimulus and brings them all together.

Incorrect. The stimulus never discusses how self-esteem impacts individual actions, just how they perceive the actions of others. This answer is out of scope.
