RonPurewal Wrote:**in fact, as soon as you see "some people think...", "it is commonly thought that...", etc. - basically, any form of The other guys think X - you can go ahead and assume that the narrator (= main argument) is going to oppose that point of view.
after all, that's the only sensible rationale for introducing "the other guys" into the argument in the first place. (if the narrator agreed with the other guys, then there would be no point in citing the other guys at all -- i.e., rather than saying The other guys think X, and they're right, the narrator will just say X.)
Superb explanation. Cannot thank you enough. Had I been in the U.S., I would have definitely taken classroom coaching with Mr. Purewal. Lucky Americans.
Thanks again, Mr. Purewal. I too selected D, like the above poster. Taken the learning(s) from your post.
Warm Regards
