All right a c t Smokers almost done Eleven Twelve

00:04

like we can see it finally moved on a paragraph

00:08

five Let's screw all the way down there All right

00:13

That debate over genetics versus environment or nature versus nurture

00:18

will probably never be resolved because it is very difficult

00:21

to separate the influence of genetics and environment on one's

00:26

personality Like we can see Imagine that a child's parents

00:31

are both very outgoing and the child is also outgoing

00:35

terrible terrible Well The author makes point in the first

00:43

sentence and then uses an example to help prove his

00:45

point The first and second answer choices incorrectly implied that

00:48

the author is about to state something obvious not a

00:52

specific example that supports what he just said So get

00:55

rid of a and b like the following example is

00:59

tempting because it uses the word example But look closely

01:03

It should be something like like the following example demonstrates

01:07

or illustrates or active verbs like hey that's an answer

01:11

Choice yeah to illustrate effectively connects the author's argument with

01:16

the hypothetical example that he presents so it's sees what

01:20

should read to illustrate this point Imagine that a child's

01:24

parents are both very outgoing in the child's balls going

01:26

okay that's it and were outgoing outside after we're done 00:01:30.264 --> [endTime] with this session
