The stimulus states that crows "can even pass their concerns on to other crows" not necessarily that they always do. Because of this, I thought that A was wrong, due to the fact that it could have been all the original crows that were originally trapped who dived and shrieked. Was I just looking into it too deep?

My exact thought process, "that were then the major powers," which I interpreted would remain so in perpetuity.

For 15, isn't the drink pretty strongly and directly psychologically characterizing the character?

weird

I learned from this question that when the stimulus is (probabilistic) causal, then we can weaken (or indicate the flaw) the argument by asking "if you DON'T have that cause, do you have the same result?". So for the flaw stem, the AC saying the author ignores the possibility that the absence of the cause (age) makes the same result (comfortable) or not sounds a great answer.

I got this question wrong for the exact reasons that JY outlined in the video, bringing my current world knowledge into the LSAT and assuming that the accepted biological theory was correct in terms of the argument. Accepted = Correct is the main assumption that this flaw hinges on you identifying, and this was particularly hard to disconnect myself from as an environmental science major!

D is particularly tricky as it requires the same assumption to be identified: that the accepted theory is "correct" and any deviation from it is incorrect.

CA‑m→A2D, Not CA2D→DIT. Conc: M‑m→Not A2D.

CA‑m→A2D = Not A2D‑m→ Not CA, therefore, M‑m→ Not A2D‑m→Not CA.

Answer Choice C= Not CA, therefore correct.

bruh i vividly remember looking up "water" during my PT then quickly eliminating it. crazy question.

C says that the same amount of fat was consumed by both the people who ate less red meat and the people who didn’t eat less red meat.
D says that more fat was consumed by people who ate less red meat (so we assume no change in diet for the people who didn’t eat less red meat).

This one is particularly difficult in terms of this! Wow. Great for learning though.

I don't agree with the difference b/w and C and D. Other than D had more details. Is that what we are looking for? It's pissing me off, tbh.

got the main conclusion wrong here oopthies

Same here.

LOL at the "I'm offended" crowd of several years ago. Hoping they've grown out of their pink hair phase.

Real challenging passage - but these are always the ones where the most learning occurs :-)

For real, but it was the only thing I was left with after realizing A was wayyyyyyy too broad. ANY manufactured good?

I think you're onto the right idea, but I wouldn't say we're not looking for the same structure; we really are. What you're noticing is the LSAT tries to trick us by using the same phrasing, when actually the structure/reasoning is quite different. For example, answer choice D does have a conditional like the stimulus, but if you read D, it says Evelyn admits not having listened to the late news, which is different from in the stimulus where there is an outside source (Senator Armand) who denies the necessary condition in the conditional.

Same question
