PT19. S2. Q17
Hi everyone, I'm having trouble with this one. Here is how I diagrammed it.
premise1) devote to study natural process---- have leisure
premise 2) resources plentiful --- have leisure (------ note: i originally diagrammed premise 2 as the reverse of this statement but since it says "when" in premise 2 which introduces a sufficient assumption I changed it.
premise 3 + 4) early societies made complex discoveries - result of active study of natural process(/p)
I thought the answer was A) but its C. I thought it was A because when you combine premise 1 and 2 it creates a some statement between the two which I thought would be correct.
Can someone explain to me where I am going wrong.

thanks for the response!
(A) is wrong because combining the two statements
・study of natural processes —> leisure
・resources are plentiful —> leisure
does not lead to
resources are plentiful —> some study of natural processes
That being said, I know this is from PT19. S2. Q17

[Context]
・study of natural processes —> leisure
・resources are plentiful —> leisure
・resources are scarce —> /leisure
・study of natural processes —> leisure —> /(resources are scarce)
[Other People’s Argument]
Some anthropologists: the agriculture began under conditions of drought and hunger (= lacking resources)
[Author’s View (Counterargument)]
P: the early society that domesticated plants —> discoveries of how plants reproduced themselves and grew to maturity —> study of natural processes
———————
C: ＿＿＿＿＿＿
(C): the agriculture began in societies with resources
This is a very cookie-cutter LSAT stimulus where the author counterargues other people's argument.
