Hello, Atlas: Could you please help answer a question I have about Q 16 & 17 from Passage 3, the Platypus Passage. I ask these two questions b/c I think my questions are very interrelated. Q16 asks for us to describe the "primary purpose" of the passge; and, Q17 asks us to tell what th...

Hello, Gilad: I really appreciate your help. I wonder, however, why you’d say that it is correct to infer that Garber believes that Mackey thinks that the high-prices of tulips is "irrational?" To me, that is not necessarily true: Garber never says that Mackey (or anyone else) believes that the tul...

Greetings, Atlas: May I ask a hypothetical, inference question about this passage? On question Q24, I thought that answer choice E was attractive _ until I re-read it and saw that it (slyly) blotches what the last paragraph says. In the end, I threw out E because Garber says that the high prices of ...

Hello, Atlas: I’d be interested in hearing your response to the following concerns: Initially, when I read this passage, I was taken aback by what I perceived to be a gap in reasoning in the last paragraph. There, in lines 41-44, the author gives an account of how high-prices in special, prized type...

Hello!

For my own knoweldge, could you please explain why C, although attractive, is not the correct answer to this question?

Thank you very much

Hello, Atlas!

I'm wondering if you had a list of the hardest RC passages or hardest RC questions (say, inference Q's).

I'd like work on the extremely hard RC passages and questions.

Thank you very much.

Greetings, Atlas: Could you please explain why choice E is the correct answer to Q11? I struggled between A and E, and I do not understand how E is more correct than A. Regarding E: I do not see where the passage says that Lichtenstein's art work comments on societal values. The closest thing to suc...

Hello, Matt: Thank you for help with this question. But here's why I did not think answer C was a "slam-dunk" answer: The passage no where suggests that every aspect of a majority culture hurt a tribe's quest to preserve its language. In fact, the last lines of the passage hint that only s...

Greetings: Could you please explain why answer E is the correct answer for Q5? I did NOT select E because I thought that lines 37-40 did explain why the okapis animals leave a lot of their "preferred" plants un-eaten: The passage says that "...okapis will leave much of it uneaten, cho...

Hello again, Atlas: Could you please explain why (c) is the answer choice to this inference question? I understand that the passage says that there are SOME parts of a majority culture that can interfere with a tribe's traditions and community (See, e.g, lines 3-6). But that, however, is not the sam...

Good day, Atlas-LSAT Could you please help me the following two Reading Comp questions from P59, section 4: Q20 -- Can you please explain why E, rather than C is correct? and Q24 -- Answer choice B was very attractive, but D was the correct answer. Could you please explain why B is NOT the answer (o...

Greetings, Mike: Thank you for the encouraging words! LSAT students could use them at times. Your reply was very helpful. I am happy to learn that the passages/paragraphs/sentences do not necessarily follow a nice, predictable pattern. Knowing that helps ease my worry that I may be missing something...

Hello, Aileenann: Thank you for your help. I really appreciate it! Anyways, I was thinking about answer choice C, the correct answer choice. I'm wondering if the reason answer C is more correct than choice B is that C's "only if" statement can be translated into: If pesticides should be us...

Hello, Atlas: I have a question about the first paragraph of this passage (PT 42, Sec. 3, Passage 1) . The first paragraph puzzled me. I did not see the connection between the first and second sentences of the passage. Let me explain. In the 1st sentence, the author defines pop-art as being the move...

Good day: I have two questions about the passage about the Chinese-American poet, Wing Lum. My questions, however, are not asked by the LSAT. In the first paragraph, the author says in lines 10-11 that the poet's writing does not model a multicultural paradise nor does it deal with traditional "Asia...

Hello, I am wondering if anyone could explain -- carefully -- why the answer to Q 16 is A, not C? I would like to understand the reasoning. I was tempted with answer C because the end of paragraph three *finally* tells us something that explains why some nerve cells die. N.B.: When I read the start ...

Hello ATLAS, I am wondering if you could please explain why answer choice B is not the best answer choice? I selected this because I thought that it implied that we should be careful not to harm helpful natural-predators, such as the one described in the passage. After all, the author said that some...

Good day, Brian:

I am sorry for the delayed post. I want to thank you for your help in answering my two reading comp questions. I really appreciate it!

You answered things very well.

I want to become an LSAT ninja, too!

Now, two questions must be asked. Is this a "basic" assumption of "theoretical economics?" And, more importantly, is it actually "overturned" by the game? Hello, again: Honestly, I am unsure as to how to answer your second question. Here's why: It's clear that the resu...

What "basic assumption of theoretical economics" is (B) referring to? Thank you for your help! Just to follow-up, cannot we say that the assumption that is being refered to in answer choice B is the assumption that is mentioned in the second paragraph of the passage, viz.: People act out-...
