Struggled to put down my thoughts in words - made a very quick vid
Thanks
jabhatta2, I watched the video. The problem is that you just repeated in the video what you had written in your post. I still haven’t heard you explain WHY applying a salvage fee at the point of sale would incentivize improper disposal. I can see why applying the salvage fee at the time of disposal would do so, but not at the point of sale. I’m pushing you to explain your thinking because I think that will help you improve your CR more generally, beyond this particular question.
Posted from my mobile deviceHi
avigutman - thank you so much for reviewing the video.
I am not really sure why charging a salvage fee at the
point of sale would incentivize improper disposal, except that i assume option (A) is true at all stages (please read below regarding stages)
Based on the question stem -- all the answer choices "
are true"
I agree that in real life, charging a salvage fee at
the point of sale SHOULD NOT incentivize improper disposal activities , BUT THAT WOULD BE AN ASSUMPTION
ON MY PART Now - the problem with (A) is that -- the phrase "
increase the cost of disposing of an appliance properly" can be applicable at
- (stage 1)
the point of sale and/or at
- (stage 2)
the point of discardingGiven option (A) doesnt really state which stage is the italicized blue phrase applicable to, a test taker has to assume that the blue is applicable to either stage
For me then to "
pro-actively eliminate" stage (1) based on my personal experience, would be an assumption on my part
So i thought (A) was true in the case of (stage 1) and/or (stage 2)
Thus i knocked out (A)
