Pg 640 (572) - Q22
The author’s purpose in lines 61-62 is to discourage against the
invention of interconnections due to the fact that it is an unreliable
and faulty skill. In the next paragraph, however, the author stresses
the importance of reviewing all possible
hypotheses to a problem. The statement that “inventing interconnections
is an essential part of generating a valid hypothesis” would therefore
increase the credibility
of inventing interconnections and thus undermine the author’s intent.
Choice E is correct.
