these are lowkey easy if you just try to fit the words "if" and "then" into the front of the sentences you think are conclusions and premises like for three it would be "IF some of these studies...THEN not all operational..." and thats what helped me
Could anyone explain why question 3 is an argument. The first statement has no direct relation to the second. Even though there is the indicator word [hence]. The first statement makes a claim about what trends the studies track. The second makes a claim about the quality of the studies. There seems to be a missing premise or hidden assumption connecting what they track to the quality of the study. I keep reading this as an invalid argument. I feel as though I may be missing the goal of this skill builder. Am I to assume any time there is an indicator word [like hence] it is immediately an argument in spite of no why the premise supports the conclusion?
I wrote down the indicator words in my notes, doing so has helped me identify them in the stimulus. Repetition , this is my first time getting them all correct. LETS GO!!!!!
4/5. The first one got me. The first step is VERY important. If you find yourself asking why the author does get to the point, it's most likely because there is NO conclusion. Good Luck!
4/5, got tripped up on identifying the conclusion vs the premise in question 4 using the "why should I believe this" method. Be careful not to psych yourself out!
Is anyone else concerned about actually analyzing the arguments at this point? I found myself simply searching for indicators instead of actually analyzing the information presented in the last exercises.
Im not sure if anyone else has taken a diagnostic, but does anyone else feel these practice questions are too simple? I feel like the LSAT itself is much more tricky. Maybe just bc this is the foundations sections?
4/5 After watching the video for question 1, it was clear that no indicators for a conclusion was present. Just a bunch of information being thrown at us.
For #1, it could be an argument if there was an additional sentence to conclude, for example, that these pigs were slaughtered halfway through the winter.
For these i kind of wizzed thru them only trying to identify words that would clue me into what the premise and conclusion would be. I got them right but is that the strategy to use for the LSAT? To wizz thru them fast just to be able to identify the premise and conclusion them move on to what the actual question is?

I feel like question 2 isn't really trying to convince me of anything

Can someone please explain to me why question 1 had no conclusion? I am still confused.

I struggled with question 5. I think the premise through me off.

I keep second guessing when my instincts tell me the correct answer. For ex. conclusion for q5 was so this bottle...
