Re: Q14 - Waller: If there were really

Not convinced with D either. Poorly written question.

Only 28% of the test takers got this correct. Obviously not bc of the questions was too smart, just bc the answer is not convincing.

Re: Q4 - The theory of military deterrence

The reason why I did not choose D is because: It is in the interested of a nation that has unsurpassed military power to let potential aggressors against it become aware of its power. "has unsurpassed military power" is not required. What is required is that "would have to be believed...

Re: Q16 - Any member of the city council

this is an example of LSAC's poor question drafting. The question itself has so many issues. (A) should be the perfect answer explaining why at least one member should vote against. (B) is just contrapositive the chain from the premise: if all abstain (-VA) ---> city voters vote conclusion: at le...

Re: Q23 - Biologist: Researchers believe that dogs

I was thrown off by the word "undomesticated" in (B). Otherwise I would have chosen B as the correct answer.

But Nicolas really explained it so clear.

(C) is just not a principle.

(D) is repeating itself.

Re: Q23 - Editorial: Given the law

First of, the time spent on this question is not worth it. Seriously. I spent 1 hour dwelling on this question, but (D) just does not make sense.

if you contra (D), that's not the editorial presuming.

Time wasted. Move on to other questions.

Re: Q20 - Shy adolescents often devote themselves

Thanks to all the previous posts. Without your explanations, I would not be able to understand what (B) was talking about. Now it is easy for me to do the analysis once I understand it. Just sharing my analysis in case it may help you to diagram. It has a lot do with keywords "sometimes" a...

Re: Q13 - A recent study of 10,000

I d vote for A as well. I think this question's logic itself is poor. The conclusion should be "Thus, fewer people are injured when driving a large car from the accidents in the study." , then will make D a legitimate correct answer. When the conclusion is about likelihood (possibility) in...

Re: Q21 - A government study indicates that raising

I got the answer correct. But I did not know what "level, straight stretches" are. In case anyone got threw off by these words, here are the meanings: level : flat stretch : street, road. level, straight stretches = flat, straight roads. I feel LSAC is sometimes not testing people's logica...

Re: Q15 - Often a type of organ or body

As so many people have contributed to this site, I would like to give back. (B) gave us a lot of clue, although it threw me off when I was doing this question, I actually skipped it bc just got confused bc of the missing coma. If the last sentence had the coma, actually you can see lot of clues: It ...

Re: Q8

I noticed that A was too certain for the LHB theory, as if there is no other possibilities.

I agree E is too narrow. A-E there is not one answer was a good answer. It's just a dumb question, I think.

Re: Q14 - Some theorists aruge

The reason why I am not convinced by B is because, when I add B as an assumption back to the argument, the conclusion does not seem to be logical: Premise: LC should be NV, but LC can not be completely NV. Assumption: if LC is impossible to be NV ---> should not try NV Conclusion: Thus, goal for ...

Re: Q14 - Some theorists aruge

I am still not convinced about B although I know A,C, D, E don't make sense, but B is not making much sense either.

Any more discussions or ideas on this one?

Q15 - Greatly exceeding the recommended daily intake of

I chose A, but the correct answer is B. What is the big difference between A and B? Is it because B states as "some people", A states as "few people"? I don't understand the last sentence in the stimulus: "But many people overestimate what counts as a standard serving of vit...

Q10 - Vincent: No scientific discipline can study something

I have a weakness on this type of questions, especially on two people's conversation, then ask us what they agree or disagree on. Got this question wrong, but I don't get it why C is the correct answer. 1. When being asked what they disagree on, does it mean, one has to say "yes" and the o...

Re: Q9 - Robert: The school board

Thank yo for explaining the question with so much detail, I appreciate it.

My education back is not in the US, so it was a little bit hard to understand or picture what they are really discussing about, but your detailed explanation totally made sense to me.

Thanks a lot!

Thank you Vinny Gambini. But I am still not fully convinced. Is GPA a grade? The passage says "did not earn grades as high as did many students who studied less. I thought grades are A, A-, A+, B, B-, B+, etc. I think the wording is confusing in the passage, the clearer wording should be "...

I don't get this one.

What is Samantha talking about? Why the proposed schedule will not permit teachers to cover more new material?
