Note to self via Question #2: The author themselves need to make a conclusion, otherwise they are just reporting/relaying the opinions or findings of someone else. "Scientists theorize..." "Scientists conclude...", The author's POV is not mentioned at all here. Don't assume that the scientist's conclusion would be the same as the one the author makes.
How can I improve my ability to recognize when the paragraphs have no conclusion? I originally thought the scientists’ statement in Q2 was indicative of a conclusion
I missed q2 cause the author didnt conclude but was highlighting what others, scientists concluded. This is called a 'nested claim' I shoulve got this one correct cause i learned this from The Loophole book. Nested claims are when someone other than the author makes claims and conclusions. This is my sign to pair the 7sage CC and The Loophole Book. If anyone is doing this method or wants to, hit me up to make a study group.
I'm starting to see an improvement in just knowing the premise and conclusion off the top of my head. Finding the indicators for the conclusion has started to just come very fast
These questions are relatively intuitive, leaving out 2 that did not include conclusions... I think I am getting them right because I am relying on indicator words, therefore aiding me in finding the conclusion. I would like to see more practice questions that are not indicator word-heavy.

4/5, the first question almost got me
4/5
5/5
5/5 but question 2 almost got me.
4/5
got 5/5 again the LSAT should fear me now
5/5 already feels like progress
I understand why two is not an argument but is it ever possible for a question to present two conclusions?
Number 2 got me because I was expecting an argument. 4/5 The word concluded also had me confused in example 2.
So for #2 can we say that since the author is just restating facts this wouldn't be an argument essentially?
