00:05

your brought to you by foss fights or what happens

00:08

when two fosse's can't get along All right check the

00:12

following passage paying particularly close attention to the bold excerpt

00:15

we're just going to skip these awesome first two paragraphs

00:18

We've read him eighteen thousand times and read the bold

00:20

one So i take phosphates or foss fights whichever it

00:24

is and tonics and journeys and air and exercise And

00:28

i'm absolutely forbidden to work until i am well again

00:33

All right well the passage implies that the narrator believes

00:36

that what and hear the angels he complicated Successful Well

00:43

it seems like the narrator makes it pretty clear how

00:45

she feels about her treatment but just in case we

00:47

missed it the first time a quick skin will make

00:49

it all the more obvious Option b is nowhere near

00:52

the right answer In paragraph three The narrator says she

is headed in the right direction but it's still misses

01:18

the boat The narrator's treatment does sound kind of complicated

01:21

She isn't even sure what medicine she's taking boss fates

01:25

crossed fight something philosophy but there's a bigger issue here

01:29

a bigger issue That's perfectly articulated an answer D like

01:32

we said before the narrator thinks her brother and husband

01:35

don't know what they're talking about even if they're doctors

01:38

and there's a good chance She can't remember whether she's

01:40

taking phosphates or foss fights not because their treatment is

01:43

complicated but because she doesn't think is worth remembering wants

01:47

something worth remembering Get a good night's sleep before taking
