I got the timed section incorrect but took my time in the blind review and then got it correctly. Slow and steady wins the race when you are just starting out.
I understand that it does not explicitly talk about "importance" of storytelling, making answer D wrong. But answer choice C seems too broad in my opinion. Aren't we not supposed to generalize based on one specific topic being talked about, aka storytelling?
I was able to rule out D by realizing that something can be a "universal aspect" regardless of how important or unimportant it is. blinking is a "universal aspect" even though its fairly unimportant.
It seems like in other people's answers that we should ignore the term "all" in answer C and recognize that it is still the most supportive. But that seems like ignoring what we have been coached to see as a red flag. Also not choosing D because the author's didn't talk about the importance of storytelling still doesn't negate the fact that storytelling plays an equal role (whatever that role is) in both present and past cultures. I'm still not convinced that C is better than D.
Upon reading the discussion below, I have realized why I got this question incorrect. I was not familiar with the word "epoch". Some of you may read this and go ?? I've never heard this word before lol People's comments have basically given me the definition being of different times. So, I now understand that (A) is not possible.
I think had I known what "epoch" meant, I would have chosen (C) through the elimination process as he other answer choices did not give me enough sense of support.
I thought this was an "except" question because I didn't read the stem and just got done with the previous lesson. I was like wait how the heck did I get it wrong, my answer choice wasn't supported at all? ... Well, that's exactly why I got it wrong lol.
This particular question has a LOT more comments than most I've seen. Many of us were fooled by the fact that AC "C" contained the word "all" which appeared to be too strong of language to be supported. I am surprised that not #tutor or #instructor has come by to offer some additional guidance. I understand the video is here to help explain, but sometimes additional information and feedback is helpful. Perhaps admin, moderators, tutors, or instructors can observe the number of comments on a given question. It's quite possible that questions with a higher number of comments probably is worthy of additional attention and #feedback
Edit:
The analytics show that the most often chosen wrong answer choice is AC "D". The video spends the least amount of time analyzing this AC. It seemed that there was a comparative component to this question. The study is comparative in nature. The study made comparisons across time. Also, the answer seemed less committal, more general (less specific), therefore easier to support than other claims. So, additional feedback on AC "D" would be much appreciated. Thank you!

yayayay got it right :)
Why did this one make no sense to me, even for the Blind Review? Was the text not clearly related to "stories and storytelling" specifically?
got it right but it wasn't the "all" that threw me off about c, its that "interests and concerns" aren't mentioned in the stimulus at all.
Just to clarify, we aren’t supposed to ever pick a comparative answer choice when dealing with MSS questions?
Yeah this one was hard, idk. They need to stop showing me how many others got it right and wrong because it just makes me feel unintelligent .. LOL.
The difficulty of these seems so weird lol, like I find the low difficulty much harder alot of the time
Banggggg come on man feeling good
nothing can be in common if it is not shared by all.
this was evil. I saw "all cultures" and crossed it out immediately. UGHHHHHH
Surprised there aren't some fedsocs on here offended that the correct answer is on the left end of the spectrum
BOOOOOOOM!
Why was I so confident lol and got it wrong, rushed read it...
I second-guessed myself, and I got preoccupied with the time. I got it right on BR. Sometimes I feel like ima be cooked on the real lsat
How do we compare the level of support? In both b and c there were logical assumptions to make that were needed to be true.
Fell for the trap answer
this question is crime against humanity(LSAT takers)

wait a minute.
isn't this scale from explicitly stated - contradictory - must be false? why does he say Must Be True @ 0:32? isn't it Must Be False?

Universal in past and present=all.
