- 00:44
serve as one of the steps in the writer's argument
- 00:48
and your options are right here You don't good all
- 00:54
righty Well so here we have to look through the
- 00:57
text and figure out which step was not included like
- 01:00
that accidental extra step which somehow turned our kia desk
- 01:04
into an abstract sculpture It's not a pretty sight we've
- 01:07
been there so let's give this passage look see to
- 01:09
find which arguments don't fit Looking at paragraph three this
- 01:13
one right here the author clearly argues that laws have
- 01:16
made workplaces safer and given that this is an article
- 01:20
in support of osha this is probably a good thing
- 01:24
We don't need laws that make the workplace let's say
- 01:28
and if we mosey ahead to paragraph eight waken see
- 01:32
the author explicitly states sir be osha has reduced deaths
- 01:37
and injuries so b is also a step in the
- 01:40
author's expanding argument and in paragraph ten which we want
- 01:43
to right here to the author clearly states that injuries
- 01:47
air still common in the workplace But the author never
- 01:50
argues that employers must be held financially responsible for the
- 01:54
emotional and psychological costs of employees injuries After all it'll
- 01:58
probably cost employers a fortune if they had to putting
- 02:00
up every time an employee felt The blues you know
- 02:02
that around here Smoke alarm but don't tell anyone All
- 02:05
right so this is the incorrect statement the awkward piece
- 02:08
that does not fit with the rest of the puzzle
- 02:11
That's Where peg in a round hole Thus answer D
- 02:13
is the correct answer Now if only all steps were
- 02:15
this clearly laid out seriously we still can't figure out
- 02:19
