Assumption Questions

[saranash1]

I have in my notes that, " When at least one/some is used in an answer choice it is typically the correct answer. Why is that?

Hi Sara,

That was because historically, when that phrase was used at the start of an answer to an Assumption question, that answer was correct at a rate that was around 90%. In other words, they were doing it intentionally

Recently, in the last year or so, they have reduced their reliance on this phrasing, and I've seen a few Assumption question answers that featured this phrasing that were not correct. So, like every answer choice, evaluate each on on its own merits.

Please let me know if that helps. Thanks!
