(E) is wrong for two reasons. First, although we know that once we turn off the pump, the water would slow down gradually, where in the stimulus can we get any idea about the specific values of "a second or two"? Plus, the active voice in (E) is also the problem. It says that when the pump...

Original argument When choosing btwn desirable items: 1. more expensive or 2. more familiar Conclusion: since #2 doesnt hold # 1 must be the case Answer choice (E) When avoiding predators 1. double back or 2. flee nearby Conclusion: since #2 cant hold #1 must be the case Now...why (C) is wrong. I w...

Use your conditionals!! you will see how life savin' they can be! Okay so we get two conditionals here First: Member & >10 movies--> Coupon @ latest location Second: Member & 10 or fewer movies --> Coupon @ Main Street Now what do we know about Pat? We know that he got the coupon at...

Well also (B) and (C) are easy to eliminate because the argument doesnt have ANYTHING to do with part to whole or whole to part flaw. So with (B)~(E) gone, the answer choice (A) is correct. I think the flaw itself is new. I havent run into such kind thus far, but its not anything too complex. Okay h...

Whether its a single fact, evidence, claim or wtev, using an exception to discredit a theory is not a FLAW in reasoning. Theory by definition is something that is to hold in all circumstances. For instance, mathematical theories that you learn in high school. They are taught under the assumption tha...

Hi all So in answering this question, did we have to know what 'oxidize' means? And also, did we have to know that 'relied upon' indicates the durability of gold? I mean, was there any context clue that we could have relied on, or would the terms "rely upon" and "oxidize" do ever...

Hi all I just wanted to share with you guys the way I eliminated (B) and (C)-- supposedly the most tempting of all. I think some probably have touched on these ideas, but I would say them anyhow since they made things very clear cut. Okay here are my thots (B): it presumes something, and negation te...

Just adding something about (D) The stimulus is simply describing a state of things. Put it basically: we have these crazy number of transactions but error detection is likely." We want to strengthen this by saying this IS the case, as (A) does. But (D) is telling about how things have SLOWLY c...

Yea (C) seemed pretty attractive at first because of the reasons you brought up, but I realized thats the exact reason why it is incorrect. It is not JUSTIFYING the conclusion (the first sentence) as you wrote, but rather it just boosts it, meaning that it adds nothing to what we know (like a premis...

Yea my best bet is that NOT spinning is not same as Stationary. I mean...just bring up any relevant example from your life. Lets say you are walking to class, and you are NOT spinning as you are doing so. Are you stationary? No...you are walking..remember? Yea...LSAC often plays tricks on your like ...

For those of you who still are thinking about choice A. I would say that the easiest way to eliminate would be the relative nature of the language. Notice that in the stimulus, it says that the "court system" is the LEAST FAIR so the "high court" would also be the LEAST fair. Sam...

My take on "extension of description and explanation from science to the humanities" basically is that whatever description and explanation used in science would be applied to humanities. I cant really think of a good example, but lets say an explanation of science would be 'all organisms ...

I would say its out of scope. Answer choice (A) is simply talking about the change over the past decade. Always remind yourself what you have to strengthen: Lines 54-60 In other words, we have to support the claim that "(in order to understand the prosperity of the land today) it is necessary t...

I am not sure if relying on the term "supposed experts" is the safest reason to get rid of (C). Granted, the argument does not give any specifications regarding the identity of the "supposed experts", but I also do not think it is brutally wrong to loosen up the language here a b...

Continuously discharging means exactly what anyone would think it means: in this passage in particular, it would mean that from the start to an end of the drilling phase, at every moment and instance, you would see the drilling mud being dumped into the ocean. As for your second question, yes, we wo...

If you know the reason why (D) is wrong --and it seems that you do-- that would serve as your support for (A). So we know that although things like corns and stuff will decrease, weeds will take over their places right? The specific line reference is 25-27 "PAtterson and FLint have shown that t...

Funny how (D) seems so attractive during review. It was something you would easily eliminate in the actual testing condition but takes awhile to get it around ur mind. Like some posters said above, I think (D) is actually inferable from the stimulus. We are told that the study used samples of sedime...

Hi giladedelman~ I just wanted to point out that I understood choice (A) in a slightly different perspective than you seem to have taken. This is my taken on it: It is a reason for adopting a practice (eating fat) that the dietitian provides a reason to not take it to the extreme (dont eat too much ...

Just for those who are having trouble with (E) I think the key word here is "inability" What we want to show is that "presenting legislation in polemical terms"---> "NOT consider actual conseq. of enacting the law" in order to conclude that "legislatures fail to...

Hey jlz1202 here's my take on (D) and I think you pretty much have it. We are extrapolating the data of 100 first graders in order to make a general statement about the human kind--that greater automaticity in writing will lead to greater composition skills. So it doesnt really matter if they are re...
