Okay Ap england people we've got another passage here from

00:08

a zoology book in eighteen eighty A little bit interesting

00:11

They're asking what's the author's likely strategy and connecting science

00:15

to common sense All right then we just skim right

00:22

up to ten here Rift have signs that shot up

00:25

from the common sense All right got that fourteen common

00:29

sense is science exactly into bars and fulfills the ideal

00:32

of common sense That is these facts as they are

00:34

or at any rate without distortion Blood black Okay so

00:38

let's think about this The author says that scientific research

00:41

is different in kind Right there he says it from

00:44

the way people deal with the communist purposes of everyday

00:48

existence He's starting his book by demystifying signs for people

00:51

who may be intimidated or even blinded by the subject

00:54

00:57

not strategic to the author's intent Here While scientific observation

01:01

is the pay attending upon our senses the two senses

01:03

being connected here are not the same giver to see

01:06

That would be weird The author is trying to relate

01:07

science to what while the common reader but not actual

01:11

scientists So get rid of a The author doesn't want

01:13

to bring science down to the level of the commoners

01:16

experience Get rid of e Rather he tells us that

01:18

science is common sense at its best that makes sense

01:21

So get rid of d Presumably that whole common sense

01:24

thing you know the haircut a good night's sleep in

01:26

a triple cappuccino Yeah that's what we do here So

01:29

the answer is b to show that science is an

01:31

extension of everyday reasoning It's cool It's part of life

01:35

Love it Live it Science The shmoop out of it
