Q2. Some educators endorse the "look and say" method for teaching elementary school children how to read. This approach is also known as the "whole language method" because it trains students to recognize each word as a single entity. For this reason, it affords a degree of fluency with known words: when a student has memorized a word, she will be able to recognize and read it in future encounters. This method fails, however, to prepare students to decipher new words: a student who has not previously encountered and learned a word will not be able to read it and will therefore be limited to her range of known "word patterns." Given the significant deficiency of this method, teachers should use a phonics-based approach, which trains students to decode or "sound out" words from the letters that comprise them. It offers a major advantage over the "look and say" method by allowing a student to read and understand words that she has not encountered in print before. In the argument above, the two highlighted sentences play which of the following roles? A. The first summarizes a position that the author opposes; the second supports the author’s recommendation. B. The first states the main point of the argument; the second provides evidence for that conclusion. C. The first provides support for a position that the author ultimately rejects; the second serves as evidence for the author’s recommendation. D. The first supports the conclusion for the position with which the author disagrees; the second states the overall conclusion of the argument. E. The first states the conclusion of the argument; the second provides support for that conclusion. Difficulty - Hard
IMO, I would choose Option C. The first highlighted portion supports the initial theory but he later on goes to recommend a different method altogether, as seen in the second highlighted portion.winterschool
Q1. In ancient Greece, court witnesses were not crossexamined and the jury, selected from the citizenry, received no guidance on points of law; thus, it was extremely important for litigants to make a good impression on the jurors. For this reason, courtroom oratory by litigants is a good source of data on the common conceptions of morality held by the citizens of ancient Greece. Which one of the following, if true, would most strengthen the argument? (A) Litigants believed jurors were more likely to be impressed by litigants whose personality they preferred. (B) Litigants believed jurors were more likely to subject the litigants’ personal moral codes to close critical scrutiny than were people who did not sit on juries. (C) Litigants believed jurors were likely to be impressed by litigants whose professed moral code most resembled their own. (D) Litigants believed jurors to be more impressed by litigants who were of the same economic class as the jurors. (E) Litigants believed jurors were likely to render their decisions based on a good understanding of the law.

tough choice between C and D. I rejected D as I think there is no clear conclusion for the first Boldface to support. Whereas ’support for a position that is rejected’ appears correct. The rejection proper is within the 2nd Boldface.
