Any Takeaway/Pattern for this kind of weaken Q type? :) This was a correction = causation flawed argument although worded in a different way. Stimulus says positive correlation found between amount of soot and frequency of an ailment. Conclusion is that even though there is a positive correlation, ...

For this question, I am still a little bit confused. From my understanding, the second group also increased their total calorie intake by 25 percent with non-alcoholic sources right? No. The second group didn't change the number of calories they consumed. They switched out 25 percent of their norma...

I am a bit confused about forming the logic in (B). Shouldn't "It is to the advantage of some individuals" be a necessary condition while "they be concerned with contributing to the societal good" be a sufficient condition ? Thanks a lot! It's not a conditional statement ('if/th...

I was also struggling whether "accurate distribution" is saying that students are evaluating the professors accurately or the result of evaluation is not reflecting the situation because either side of students do not submit evaluation. But when I look at the stimulus again, since it has ...

I eliminated C for the same reason. Then, I read the answer choice multiple times. Remember that the rule in question is about prescribing which side of the road to drive on. "Every...rule [implemented dictating which side of the road to drive on]...is a rule whose implementation would cause le...

I feel silly for missing the first question. I eliminated B because of "too narrow" - I had dubbed it as strong language. Chose D because "scientifically measured" and "accurately defined" seemed synonymous for "quantifiable terms" (line 47). But, B does encap...

Thank you very much for the detailed advice. Happy new year!

Hi all. I'm still in the processing of finishing Manhattan Prep's LR book - it's so great. I already see improvements in how I approach premise-conclusion relationships since much of the answers I had been choosing were out of scope or premise boosters. However, I still run into the problem where I'...

Someone asked about B and why it was wrong. B said Walker made the cakewalk popular "because she accentuated the satiric dimension." Lines 53-4 said she won the audience over by "refining the cakewalk and emphasizing its...grace." Basically, the last paragraph of the passage talk...

btw I eliminated B because of the word typical shopper...did I eliminate it based on the right reason? Not an LSAT geek, but why would you eliminate based on that itself? In fact, the stimulus says "advertising TENDS..." so the typical shopper only fits in with the stimulus. This was how ...

Like others, I switched my answer from D to C in the blind review and have trouble seeing why C is incorrect (and D correct). Since the argument states that "despite widespread concern over the economic effect this ban would have on the local fishing industry..." couldn't we say the econo...

Very confused on how lines 49-52 implies any detriment to society. :( I know the answer choice mentioned that “while in principle, there MAY be grounds...detriment of society.” Can someone please elaborate how lines 49-52 (the only kind of concession in this passage) could be construed as a “princip...

Just to clarify, in E, is it referring to Marcusian’s view on mass market manipulation (lines 9-11) and how it relates to the creation of false needs in line 2 of P1?

While D does not give us the result of the architect's work, we know that his/her intent was to achieve functionality. Even though we do know Cameron's result, we also know that her intent was to achieve "seamless works of illustrative art." To me, C is flipped. Cameron did not obtain any...

Hello I'm having trouble understanding why D is correct. An issue can't have more than 1industry feature choice D states 2 and 3 have a single industry feature. Does that mean choice 2 or 3 contain an industry feature In D, even though slot 2 and 3 have a single industry feature, slot 2 and 3 holds...

Why is MMGGM allowed? I thought the rule says "Any feature occupying more than one slot must occupy consecutively numbered slots"...Why M can appear in 5 separately from the other 2 Ms? Because MM, GG, and M are three separate features. The first rule applies to MM and GG, not M, because ...

(conditional): If no book --> no accurate citation (conditional): if no accurate citation --> no include quote (conditional): if no include quote --> paper won't be as good as it could be! I see how C is the better answer. However, I'm having trouble grasping the third conditional. (if no ...

I debated between A and E and chose A. Back then, I had interpreted "other objectionable views" as the art historian's view that 15th century painters were more planimetric and thus had greater mastery. This art historian's view, I thought, was objectionable to the critic's view, for the c...

I selected A initially while timed but selected C while blind reviewing. :x This is my reasoning, and I would love some insight into my thought process! Conclusion: Brecht's plays are not successful. Premise: Audience can't figure out characters. The success of a play is determined by whether or not...

What I don't understand here is "before their owners notice they have been stolen". What does that matter? That's what threw me off. Whether it's before or after the owner realizes it's been stolen makes no difference right? Five years ago: Owners wouldn't have known who broke into their ...
