skim and pretend that we're really focused I mean really

focus on this Yeah No Okay we're done Which of
- 01:00
the following statements best summarizes paragraph three and here the
- 01:05
potential answers All right skeptic that's just okay well let's
- 01:09
check out this paragraph and see what's up in a
- 01:11
nutshell The other is saying that when it comes to
- 01:14
reaching conclusions science sets that common sense standard because science
- 01:19
needs proved to be considered truth Well first argument in

beacons to be thrown out leaving us with answer E
- 02:17
thanks to our tattooed friend here who shows that big
- 02:20
decisions in life on which men stake their all are
- 02:24
not to be taken lightly And since scientific principle insures
- 02:27
that fax air used rather than assumptions they're a better
- 02:30
