Question Type
This is a Purpose of Passage question. In a Problem-Analysis passage, if the author discusses a potential solution, the purpose should relate to that solution. Here, the author presents complexity theory as a potential way to predict the behavior of partly chaotic systems. Let's keep this in mind when evaluating the answers.
This doesn't capture the author's discussion of complexity theory. It's also not clear that there are contradictory assumptions underlying certain systems. The author describes partly chaotic systems, which involve some elements of linearity, but this doesn't imply that there's anything contradictory about this systems.
c
reconciling two divergent ████████ ██████████ ███ ████████ ██ ███████ ███████
The author doesn't reconcile two divergent theories. The only two theories mentioned are the "theory of everything" and complexity theory. The author criticizes the first and describes the potential for complexity theory to explain partly chaotic systems.
d
arguing for the █████████████ ██ ████ █████████ █ ████████████ ███████████ ██ ███████ ███████
This doesn't capture the author's discussion of complexity theory. Although the author does criticize the "theory of everything" in the first paragraph, the rest of the passage focuses on chaotic and partly chaotic systems, as well as the potential for complexity theory to explain partly chaotic systems.
e
demonstrating the need ██ ███████ ███████████ ████████████ ██ ███ ████████ ██ ███ ███████████ ██████████ ██ ████████ ███████
This doesn't capture the author's discussion of complexity theory. Although the author does criticize the "theory of everything" in the first paragraph, the rest of the passage focuses on chaotic and partly chaotic systems, as well as the potential for complexity theory to explain partly chaotic systems.
