Q13 - The term "pit bull" does not

by bernard.agrest Sun Jul 27, 2014 7:14 pm

Ok so this is a Main Conclusion/Point question.

Stimulus: The term pit bull is not indicative of the breed of the dog, unlike the term Poodle/German Shepard. It (being pit bull) is similar to terms such as seeing eye dog, because it indicates what it does.

Then they use an example: If you put two German Shepard's next to each other, you wont be able to identify by their appearance which is a police dog and which is a seeing eye dog.

Ok, so the Main point here is that Pit Bulls are named because of what they are trained to do, not because of their breed. Literally everything else is just support.

A) Completely not the point.
B) This actually reverses what the stimulus says.
C) This is the pre-phrased answer.
D) While this could be true, it's not the main point.
E) This is a tricky choice. However, SOME breeds of dogs is too vague. We know from the stimulus that Pit Bulls are the main topic.

Hi, I have a problem with the meaning of the first sentence of the stimulus.
I thought the sentence means something like this:
"German shepherd" and "poodle" are like "pit bull". They all do not designate a breed of dog.

But apparently, I am wrong. Doesn't the word "as" mean "like" in this sentence?
