jour Brought to you by war Why do squid win

00:08

Every war They're well armed All right way done Skimming

00:13

to toke Feel here to squid bill Arms ville Okay

00:18

from the passage the reader can infer that What And

00:21

hear the potential answers then in being forced you to

00:25

war Okay there's Nothing to it Time to roll up

00:28

our sleeves and do some inferring Sees a definite no

00:31

let up for that This one's an inference based on

00:34

absolutely nothing like when a politician speaks Alexis never says

00:39

that some colonies were more united than others Remember a

00:42

basic rule for inferring is to infer based on information

00:45

that actually exist It may sound simple but option a

00:49

does the same thing Alexis never claims that the colonists

00:52

resented having to unite to defeat england even though it's

00:56

true that some were still loyal to the mother country

00:58

Our guess is that they were afraid that under new

01:00

governance there'd be no guarantee of tea time joyce d

01:04

goes a little too far with its inference Well alexis

01:07

gives us both the similarities and differences between the colonies

01:10

And he doesn't give us a verdict on whether they

01:12

were more different or alike Moving on the correct answer

01:16

is b the war was a stronger unifying force than

01:19

the similarities between the colonies Remember the main point of

01:22

passage Yeah the one about how the very similar colonies

01:25

united in order to defeat england but then began to

01:28

seek the separate government control that they previously enjoyed Great

01:33

Anyway the passage strongly implies that the war was the

01:35

major unifying force Even despite similarities between the colonies they

01:40

tended to pull away from each other after they didn't

01:42

have a common enemy to fight war bringing people together 00:01:46.861 --> [endTime] since the invention of war
