@PaulinaBaczkowski (D) is true but its a premise in support of a conclusion. In 20 years, it will be impossible for airports to accom enough normal-sized planes -> additional space in new larger planes will likely be used for more passenger seating (B)
It would be great to have the same hi-lite and underline tools available in 7Sage's built in Notes feature that we have when doing the LSAT practice questions and that we will have when taking the actual test.
I'd like to be able to hi-lite and underline in my notes when working through a problem alongside the video, using the same tools that will be on the real-life exam.
Right now the Bold, Italics, Strikethrough, and Quote options do come in handy -- but having Underline and Hi-Lite added would be a huge bonus!!
do we need to know when were taking the test what type of argument we are reading? such as (phenomenon followed by a hypothesis to explain that phenomenon or an argument that is making a prediction)?
Because we don't know all the types like he mentioned there is to many to know, so is that of an importance/would it help you get questions right or wrong if you do/don't know what type of argument it is?
It depends, if I struggled to end up with the right answer, yes I will watch. If I was able to find the answer immediately, then I just move on. You can always bookmark and go back if you feel sketchy about it.
For anyone who was confident in answer choice B, can you explain why it wasn't D? Answer choice D sounds like it's a more iron-clad statement and you could make the argument that B supports D.
I was more confident in B because i saw D as a reasonable explanation as to why the additional space on the planes would more likely be given to passenger seating. D states that in 20 years, it will be impossible for airports to accommodate enough normal-sized planes to carry that number of passengers. But that is not the primary point of the argument. Based on the context given in the first sentence, we know that planes are being developed to hold more space for various things. The overall point is that the space will most likely be used for passenger seating, because in 20 years it will be impossible to accommodate passengers on normal sized planes without the new seating.
I also think that if you flipped it around (where B is a premise and D is a conclusion), it isn't as supportive of a claim to say that in 20 years it will be impossible to accommodate passengers on normal sized planes (D) because the new developments to airplanes will most likely be used for additional passenger seating (B).
Answer choice A: Concludes that gigantic planes will have enough space to hold passengers, shops, and lounges. We know this from the first sentence, but it’s not the point the author is trying to make. This answer choice summarizes the context!!!
Answer choice B: Concludes that the additional space in gigantic planes currently being developed is --more likely-- to be filled with passenger seating. The author is making this assumption/conclusion and then provides two premises to support. Also, HOWEVER is the conclusion indicator. The answer choice also uses -- most likely-- just like the stimulus.
I hope this helps :) I wish you well on your LSAT!
You see in the stimulus that the author does not give THEIR own position/stance until the "however" part.
This is, not always, but a clear indication that this is the point of their argument. The author is letting you know that "hey, these planes are being developed to hold more things...HOWEVER, that space is more than likely going to just hold additional passengers."
And then the premises after that support the "however" part.
Answer A does not do this. It does not show the main point or conclusion but just restate the premise in the stimulus. We already know these gigantic planes are being developed. The author doesn't agree or disagree with that, they're just saying that.
However...Answer B is showing us what the conclusion is, or what the author's main point is, which is that these developments for the planes are more than likely going to assist in additional seating. This is something that the author in the stimulus claims.
The other user is right; main conclusion questions are not as common as flaw and assumption questions. However, these are good to learn first because separating the conclusion from the premises makes analyzing what's wrong with the relationship between the conclusion and premises easier!
I believe this is because this is a "lesson" video (such as the coral reef fish video) so it's just showing you the though process first and then is followed by the "you try" questions which are the ones that allow us to have the question preview.
Same here. I'm hoping this is just a one-off. I love tackling the question myself, doing blind review, and then watching the video for additional explanation.

Can't the LSAT just consist of questions like this? It'd be so much easier, lol.
I got it right but feel like I could get really tripped up wondering why D isn't the correct answer.

where can i see this question? I only see the explanation video
@giraffe0619 You can see the whole question under the lesson number it's next to discussion and bookmark, "show question" with eye icon

This was very helpful.
do you guys still watch the videos even if you get the answer right? I assume yes but just wanted to know y'alls advice
Yeah, I watch them to make sure that I'm accurately identifying the main conclusion. I think it will always help even if you get them right
It depends, if I struggled to end up with the right answer, yes I will watch. If I was able to find the answer immediately, then I just move on. You can always bookmark and go back if you feel sketchy about it.
Do a practice exam every time he says "cookie-cutter"...
@muellerconnor828 Ha
The incorporation of more practice questions paired with videos are both reassuring and informative. Please keep them coming!!!

Hopefully this makes sense!
Loving this section
Facts its a nice breather from the foundations
why is it B and not A??
Answer choice A: Concludes that gigantic planes will have enough space to hold passengers, shops, and lounges. We know this from the first sentence, but it’s not the point the author is trying to make. This answer choice summarizes the context!!!
Answer choice B: Concludes that the additional space in gigantic planes currently being developed is --more likely-- to be filled with passenger seating. The author is making this assumption/conclusion and then provides two premises to support. Also, HOWEVER is the conclusion indicator. The answer choice also uses -- most likely-- just like the stimulus.
I hope this helps :) I wish you well on your LSAT!
A contradicts what the author is trying to say and B states the overall bias of the author. Great question!
You see in the stimulus that the author does not give THEIR own position/stance until the "however" part.
This is, not always, but a clear indication that this is the point of their argument. The author is letting you know that "hey, these planes are being developed to hold more things...HOWEVER, that space is more than likely going to just hold additional passengers."

how many main conclusion questions are there typically in any given LSAT? within LR. Thanks!
I would say, not many. Maybe 2-3 if that? Flaw and assumption questions are probably the most common.
Hi, sorry for the late reply!

Hi! I didn't get the question preview before watching the video like I did before. #feedback

Starbucks in the planes might be a bit of a PR issue right now...
