In a scene in an ancient Greek play, Knights, the character Demosthenes opens a writing tablet on which an oracle had written a prophecy, and while looking at the tablet, he continuously expresses his amazement at its contents.
Statements
In a play, Demosthenes starts reading a tablet with a prophecy on it, from an oracle.
Demosthenes's buddy can see the amazement on Demosthenes's face and is like, "What is it? What is it?"
So, Demosthenes tells his buddy what's up.
Evaluate
This is an odd question stem, but the idea of , is closest to a Must Be False task.
On Must Be False questions, the correct answer usually contradicts a conditional rule or contradicts an available inference. But in the paragraph we read there was no conditional rule and there aren't any obvious inferences that can be made.
We could infer stuff like, , since we know that Demosthenes reacted with surprise.
We could say ""Demosthenes's buddy didn't have a good view of the front of the tablet", since the buddy had to ask "what is it? what is it?"
We can infer that "Demosthenes is willing to share some prophetic messages with other people", since Demosthenes shared the news with his buddy.
Goal
We would have practically no idea what we're looking for. So with each answer, we'll just ask ourselves, "Does the passage seem to contradict this?"
If an answer brings up something we never talked about, then it's probably automatically wrong, because we can only contradict stuff we talked about.
