D) Some sciences can yield mathematically precise results that are not inherently suspect.
Taylor: Science can not be exact. Precise claim is suspect.
Sandra: Many scientific disciplines obtain extremely precise results. Precise claim is not a suspect.
So both can not agree of statement D) above.
And D)
Can you explain in more detail by using POE. I marked C as answer.
Taylor: Researchers at a local university claim that 61 percent of the information transferred during a conversation is communicated through nonverbal signals. But this claim, like all such mathematically precise claims, is suspect, because claims of such exactitude could never be established by science.
Sandra: While precision is unobtainable in many areas of life, it is commonplace in others. Many scientific disciplines obtain extremely precise results, which should not be doubted merely because of their precision.
The statements above provide the
most support for holding that Sandra would
disagree with Taylor about which one of the
following statements?
A) Research
might reveal that 61 percent of the information taken in during a conversation is communicated through nonverbal signals.
Sandra may agree as She believes - While precision is unobtainable in many areas of life, it is commonplace in others.-Eliminate
B) It is possible to determine whether
61 percent of the information taken in during a conversation is communicated through nonverbal signals.
Sandra may agree as She believes -Many scientific disciplines obtain extremely precise results.-Eliminate
C) The study of verbal and nonverbal communication is an area where one
cannot expect great precision in one's research results.
Sandra may agree as She believes-precision is unobtainable in many areas of life-Eliminate
D) Some sciences can yield mathematically
precise results that are
not inherently suspect.-Correct
Taylor: Science can not be exact. Precise claim is suspect.
Sandra: Many scientific disciplines obtain extremely precise results. Precise claim is not a suspect.
So both can not agree of statement D) above.
E) If inherently suspect claims are
usually false, then the
majority of claims made by scientists
are false as well.-Irrelevant -Eliminate
