Can someone explain the gap between B and C? I am having a hard time on this question. My understanding is that the gap from B to C is saying that more gov control implies that this control is in the form of protection from a military invasion, but in reality that is only one form that this control can take??? Therefore B could cause C???
Can you show all the answer choices without marking right or wrong first, and then start to go over them one by one? I prefer trying to solve it myself before I see the explanation, and you showing just A and saying that it's the right choice makes it hard to do it.
one thing that I am still struggling with is how to make inferences from the stimulus that are reasonable.
I am also struggling with how to identify the assumptions made in the answer choices and the stimulus as well as the assumptions that I make for the stimulus and answer choices.
would be great if they had a lesson dedicated to flushing out modifiers and referents fast (I know they already have one that hits this topic, but not for the speed component)
I think E & A also looked attractive because it feels like that is an inference that can be drawn from the question stim. Does anyone have tips on improving your ability to drawn meaningful inferences from the question stim without sneaking in assumptions?
This type of question absolutely eats up the clock. Even with the explanation of the right answer and all of the breakdown of the stimulus I'm still having a hard time parsing it all together.
Is it common that some types of questions will be "faster" or "slower" than others?
#Feedback this is the first time on MSS questions that I have been able to work thought the answer by myself and understand why my answer is correct and this made me feel really accomplished while this has been a long and hard journey I am really happy to see if start to finally pay off :)
I understand this question after the breakdown and diagramming, but I'm not sure that I would be able to reach the answer while taking the test online with the limited highlighter/ underline tools (honestly this is a concern on lots of questions). I am a very visual person and I wish the LSAT was still widely offered on paper :( Do people have tips on completing complicated questions quickly without drawing/writing on the question?
i really wish the videos showed all the answer choices + stimulus at once and then gradually worked through each answer. really frustrating this isn't a default option
is it possible to fix the beginning of each of these videos to show the stimulus/passage and the answer choices altogether, so we can pause the video there to try the questions on our own first and then continue with the video to see the reasoning behind the answers. I wanted to find the answer A on my own, but the video hides the answer choices and presents you with answer first, which is nice. But this doesn't give me a chance to try on my own with this question, so I could come to my own conclusion first and see why its right or wrong. Just a suggestion!
Can we reliably eliminate comparative answer choices on MSS questions?

This one seemed harder because of all the modifiers in the stimulus.

why is it the case that B could cause C and not a regular causal arrow (--c-->)?
one thing that I am still struggling with is how to make inferences from the stimulus that are reasonable.
I am also struggling with how to identify the assumptions made in the answer choices and the stimulus as well as the assumptions that I make for the stimulus and answer choices.
any suggestions?
in my mind, "true belief" was different from knowledge because it a misconception so i got confused
What I took from this question: Process of Elimination is your best friend!
referential phrasing is helpful with conditional claims
would be great if they had a lesson dedicated to flushing out modifiers and referents fast (I know they already have one that hits this topic, but not for the speed component)
I hate how in these videos the answers aren't on screen during the explanation. I want to be able to see the answers as he is explaining it.
A requires you to make the assumption that a held belief that is correct = knowledge
I think E & A also looked attractive because it feels like that is an inference that can be drawn from the question stim. Does anyone have tips on improving your ability to drawn meaningful inferences from the question stim without sneaking in assumptions?
When he said ¨but there is a gap here¨ I was like I SAW IT!!!! So proud of myself.
#feedback "Fact v. Belief. v. Knowledge Link" is still not working. It seems that it has not been working for months
Is "Fact v. Belief v. Knowledge" hyperlink not working for anyone else?

#help I have rewatched J.Y. explanation multiple times, and I still cannot figure out how B could cause C instead of it does cause it.
#feedback - "Fact v. Belief. v. Knowledge Link" isn't working for me. anyone else?
#feedback. The player on this will not allow me to change the speed.
#feedback The link to "Fact v. Belief v. Knowledge" doesn't work.
