Q10 - Recently, photons and neutrinos emitted

I had this question narrowed down to A and B, but unfortunately ended up choosing A. I'd appreciate anyone who can provide a definitive reason for why A is wrong and why B is correct. Furthermore, I had trouble formulating this question's argument core. It almost seems like the first sentence serves...

Q19 - Marc: The fact that the people

Although I managed to correctly select D for this problem, I did so with hardly any confidence. Basically I worked my way through the problem purely by eliminating wrong answers, and then selected D based on a "gut" feeling (it looked[i] the least wrong) [/i]. Here was my thinking process ...

Q12

I would appreciate an explanation as to why the Barbu's quote assumes answer D, and not answer A. My best explanation is that answer A is explicitly stated, thus not making it an assumption. As for D, I'm not having much success making sense of it. Thanks in advance.

Re: Q21 - Some government economists view their home

Still trying to refine my understanding of this argument... It was mentioned that the credited answer actually overfills the arrow (or gap) connecting the premises to conclusion. Thus, would a less extreme yet still acceptable sufficient condition look something like "If a nation's economy is t...

Re: Q5 - The best explanation for Mozar's death involves

Originally chose B, but then switched to C. Still having trouble explaining why C is wrong on my own. Would really appreciate some help with this.

Re: Q13 - People aged 46 to 55 spend

I'm struggling to eliminate A and C with sound reasoning, so I'm posting to see if I'm on the right track. C states that tv execs decide what shows to renew based on viewership among those 25 and under. But because we don't know whether they desire high or low viewership, we can't say that C resolve...

Q12

Hello, I'm struggling to definitively eliminate choice B. I take the "point of view" in the choice to mean objectivism, and based on lines 44-45, where it says the "legal reformers propose replacing such abstract discourse with powerful personal stories," feel that B is adequatel...

New Information in Most Supported Q's

Hello, I'm drilling some most supported questions and have a question regarding the answer choices for this question type. I realize that in must be true/inference questions, new information is a red flag and often grounds for a quick elimination. Can the same be said for most supported questions? I...

Re: Q16 - Corporate business, like species, must

Having a little trouble eliminating C. I see that the gap requires assuming that at least sometimes, changing core corporate philosophies requires becoming a different corporation. Is C wrong because it reverses the logic? That is, does it suggest that if you've become a different corporation, you'v...

Language in Determine the Function Answer Choices

Hi all, quick question: in determine the function questions, the answer choices will sometimes say things like ____ "is used to disprove the critic's claim that..." In that example, should I take the word "disprove" to mean the option is, in fact, suggesting the critic's claim is...

Necessary Assumption Questions

LSAT Geeks: I'm currently drilling necessary assumption questions and find myself consistently running into the same problems, in turn wasting time and having to circle questions due to a lack of confidence in my answers. Before practicing any more questions I feel I should address these issues. For...
