Is there ever a time where the stim doesn't have any comparative claims, but the correct answer choice does contain a comparative claim? Or is it always the case that if the stim doesn't include a comparative, we can always eliminate comparative answer choices?
This one took me 27 seconds too long. I feel like my brain turned to mush reading through the ACs and the Stim. I got it right, but man it took me a while to get there.
Isn't C also confusing necessary with sufficient? I read the first sentence of the stimulus as A --> B, where A = economic growth and B = acceleration of business demand. C is saying if B --> A, right?
Got this one correct. What helped me was to really read the facts of the stimulus and not just jump into an answer choice because of "excitement". Take ur time and really engage with the facts and not your own assumption.
is anyone else struggling with this section more than the others? particularly with parsing what the stimulus is even saying. anyone have any tips on how to recognize the causal links quicker?
I consistently under timed conditions get the answer right, blind review I second guess my logic and bend backwards to make my first choice wrong. At least day of the test I won't have a lot of time to blind review everything.
this kind of question makes me so depressed. I will never pass this bloody exam.
how does acceleration of change = supply?!
how does fail = not benefit from econ growth?!
Sometimes the LSAT makes such equivalances and sometimes they don't. How are we supposed to know when they think one thing means another or when they don't?!!!??
These are not "superficial grammatical differences" -they are differences in meaning! How do we know when to focus CLOSELY on the meaning of words and when not to?

Would a necessity vs sufficiency argument also work for B being correct? Basically saying economic growth is sufficient, but not necessary for benefitting the businesses, therefore they may not always benefit.
Anyone else trying to finish the question fast knowing there is a target time in mind? I feel like it’s rushing me and I’m not fulling understanding certain parts of the texts/answer choices. In the blind review I get it but In doing so I’m taking too much time.
I'm struggling here to differentiate between 'reading closely' to understand B could cause C vs. making unwarranted assumptions. I know from my experience of the world that when there is high demand and low supply, there's market opportunity. But how does that logically follow from the stimulus, rather than being an assumption I make about the world? What if this stimulus is occurring in a world where economics don't function that way at all?
In this type of question, is it just that it's about making fewer, more reasonable assumptions rather than no assumptions at all, and the only correct answer follows from that? I get that E is too strong and I get why the other answers don't follow, but it feels like this question is asking us to make an assumption about what happens when there's low supply and high demand.

I feel so freaking cool and awesome....finally getting the hang of this. Time is my #1 enemy but I'm getting stuff more consistently right now :')

i got this one right but i damn near threw up out of anxiety that i'd get it wrong LMFAO
I did this through process of elimination, is that okay, am I on the right path. got it right, but did not find the right answer.
This one was actually slightly difficult, despite the low difficulty rating.
Got this one correct. What helped me was to really read the facts of the stimulus and not just jump into an answer choice because of "excitement". Take ur time and really engage with the facts and not your own assumption.
Got every other one right so far in the past few sections but this one kicked my ass... and turns out its a lower rated question than those. Damn!!

Why is it relevant to check the comparative elements in order to cancel out AC?
I really like the emphasis on practice questions during the past few sections! Helps bring together the information

I love when I finally get one right n it's not considered a difficult question :)))))))))
are comparative answer choices always immediately the wrong ones?
I got baited by D by not anchoring myself to the stimulus and choosing something that I thought to be true but is not supported by the passage.

"Forget this. (crosses out stimulus) Let's go for a walk in the woods."
JY is a literal riot.
Got it right! 😊 used the process of elimination.
#feedback I just eliminated A and D because they both talked about prosperity, which isn't spoken about in the text.
Just to be clear, these questions will never have a comparison in the correct choice? For example using "than" "most likely"
