Re: Q18 - Until 1985 all commercial airlines

The above discussion hasn't addressed this point about (E). The answer choice states that it is a "two-hour commercial airline flight." The stimulus states that pre-1985 the air is replenished every 30 minutes and post-1985 the air is replenished every hour. The answer choice posits a scen...

Re: Q19

The passage on "identity" is "identity was not merely individual, but also relational to a society, a specific landscape, and the cosmos." LSAT writers indicate that the correct answer is (B) "A pictograph that represents a specific person incorporates the symbol for a const...

Re: Q25 - McKinley: A double-blind study

"If McKinley had been talking about known side effects, Engle could not have accused him of assuming the result of the study... because side effects have nothing to do with the result of the study (whether the drug works)." I think this interpretation is backwards. The "known side eff...

Re: Q8 - During the 1980's the homicide

Griffin, I think you were actually on the right track. The reason that A should be rejected is not because the conclusion limits the scenario to knives. The possibility of alternative weapons does attack the sub-conclusion that relies on the availability of knives as a cause of the deaths. The reaso...

Re: Q24 - Until recently it was thought

Answer A does not presume that the author is assuming that titanium ink is both rare and common. The answer’s language is "extremely restricted." The author attributes B36 to Gutenberg under the assumption that titanium ink was EXTREMELY RESTRICTED in the 15th century and so if something is printed...

Re: Q14

The problem with answer choice A is that it says "documents obtained from the ecclesiastical courts." The passage says the documents are by the Council of Basel, not from ecclesiastical courts. This is a shell game answer in which the source of the contradicting documents has been swapped ...

Re: Q5 - The museum's night security guard

I thought one of the basic rules of the LSAT was that the authors never lie and all premises are treated as fact (the truth). The point of logical reasoning is to evaluate the validity of the argument--there is never any evaluation beyond that, such as ulterior motives or deceit. Was that not the ca...

Re: Q20 - Historian: Radio drama requires its

I agree with schmid. The main reason (E) is incorrect is that it specifies "Television DRAMA" while the stimulus is about watching television in general. (D) covers for the possibility that any other television programming or new media may not require its viewers "to regularly exercis...
