![]() ![]() It could, that is, but for Q’s reply that most people born left-handers who are now age 85 were forced to use their right hands as children. ![]() M’s statement that virtually no one who has lived past 85 is left-handed could be used to argue that right-handed people have a survival advantage over-i.e., live longer than-left-handers. In sum, we want an answer choice that would be supported by M’s statement and rebutted by Q’s statement, and that’s answer choice (A). We’re asked to locate the disputed hypothesis. We are to take it that, without even hearing that hypothesis, Q rebuts it by presenting counter-evidence. M presents evidence that could be used to support some unspoken hypothesis. (E) Physical habits learned in school often persist in old age. Inferring a relationship between longevity and right hand usage.He is not trying to M just tries to link age to a habit and most probably (D) Handedness is a product of both genetic predisposition and social pressures. M is noway referring to a force or a switch or a harm.OUT (C) Forcing a person to switch from a preferred hand is harmless. Nowhere has M mentioned about changing times,he is clearly talking about a specific (B) Societal attitudes toward handedness differ at different times. There is a slight hint that M might try to relate a persons age(and hence hisĭisposition of survival for such a long time) to his left handedness.keep it More than a particular social norm followed during the childhood years of this age group.Īnd M has gone a little too far in attributing this pattern to perhaps a UNIVERSAL RULEĪ) Being born right-handed confers a survival advantage. Paraphrasing: Q thinks that 85/90 year olds all using right hand probably menas nothng ![]() This is a "inference" question which means we might have to make subtle inferences notĭirectly stated in the text.Lets look at the choices: It is askinig us to find what is Qs answer possibly trying to oppose ![]()
