Isn't it opinionated that the vas difference in scientific phenomena is probable to the division of the evolution to times distress itself?

Since this is a "Disagree" question, your job is to find the area of conflict between the two arguments (Taylor's and Sandra's).

For these questions, you shouldn't really be focusing on the quality of the arguments, so the fact that you find one of the arguments to be opinionated shouldn't come into play here.

Wouldn't Sandra actually agree with Taylor if he espoused this opinion? It seems that the question is worded backwards. Taylor would be the one disagreeing on this point, no?

Taylor's argument rests on the following claim: all mathematically precise claims are suspect, because science cannot produce results with "exactitude". ("Exactitude" can mean exactness, precision or accuracy.)

Then Sandra comes along and says: (1.) some scientific disciplines DO produce extremely precise results, and (2.) results should not be doubted simply because they are precise.

So, as we can see, the argument is really about whether or not science can legitimately produce very precise results. Sandra thinks that it can, and Taylor thinks it cannot.


As for the wording of the question stem, it could be worded either way.
Whether it says:
"Taylor would disagree with Sandra about which of the following statements?"
OR
"Sandra would disagree with Taylor about which of the following statements?"

you still have the same answer, because the point of disagreement is the same.

Why would Sandra disagree with taylor about that statement? It goes along exactly with what she believes. She believes that many of the scientific disciplines can produce exact results. This statement seems to be one in which Taylor would disagree with Sandra not the other way around.

This answer would be correct if the question was posed as which statement "Taylor would disagree with Sandra about." But since it was posed as "which statement Sandra would disagree with Taylor about" we assumed that the statements in question would be said by Taylor. Sandra would most certainly not disagree with Taylor were she to say statement C.

If the question were posed as, "Which statement the two speakers were most likely to disagree about," then answer C would be correct.

I dont get this one...If I can reword Sandras argument: "scientists can get really precise results, even though they are not precise....". An oxymoron on itself....
