Grit refers to an individual’s “consistent perseverance and interest towards long-term goals." Therefore, Duckworth et al. divided grit into two components: perseverance of effort (PoE) and consistency of interest (CoI). PoE refers to an individual’s ability to persist in doing something uninterruptedly, even in the face of setbacks. CoI is the unwavering passion for something over time, rather than a fleeting interest followed by a change in focus. Research has validated that grit consists of both PoE and CoI, but subsequent studies found that it is PoE, not CoI, that significantly predicts academic achievement. This suggests that, in the academic context, PoE in grit may play a more important role than CoI.
The answer is the last option, but the information on the last sentence is clearly mentioned before on the 2nd last sentence. I asked Claude and ChatGPT and force them to think twice, yet they agree with me.
Is it just because last 2nd is a fact sentence and the author’s opinion is only on the last one? If this is the case there are other examples in the skill building that does the opposite behavior.
I am extremely confused. Am I missing something out?
I wouldn’t worry about this, we’re probably gonna remove this activity soon. I would instead focus on using ETS materials like big book instead.
Main idea is a little bit subjective anyway. I THINK the main idea is the last one because it is showing the overall consequence/bigger picture of the finding.
For my clarification, I am having some issues on the Verbal RC section. So I am trying to work on my
Main Idea / Paraphrase / Simplification / Function Skills.
I wanted start drilling down the main idea, so for my practice would you suggest me paraphrase what my main idea would be and check that with an AI rather than picking word?
I am the only english speaking person around me, so trying to figure out a way to practice (drill) this skill by isolating it. I am open to any suggestions
Can you try the following classes for main idea? Where necessary pause the video and have a go and cross-check with greg’s explanation.
You can use the search to find classes for most things you want to practice. This would probably be more helpful as Greg will explain why the answers are what they are.
