@2008toyotacamry Not really. If thieves stay in the car when someone notices, its much easier to identify the thief and arrest them vs. if the thief runs away and you don't get to see them upon you noticing.
I was reading a book about logical reasoning and the author made a point that the stimulus is just bad writing, purposely to make it difficult for us :/
Does anyone feel like the "difficulty levels" on these RREs are mixed up? The last one was v easy but they said it was hard. This one felt very hard to me but was ranked as medium difficulty.
Absolutely none. We're supposed to elicit assumptions in some answer choices, but not in others, and there's no rhyme or reason on how or when to go about assuming.
This reply is for more recent readers (since you left your comment 2+ months ago and may have already taken the LSAT). Your comment is quite valuable, because it highlights an important reality: much like voting in politics, these LSAT questions will sometimes put us in the position of choosing the "least bad" candidate among a limited set of options. All five of the answer choices for this question were really weak, leaving us no choice but to identify the "least weak" answer among them. That's why answer A is correct. It still sucks, but just enough less than the other four options to be the correct one. This is an important skill in which to develop comfort and confidence. We won't always be spoon-fed a strong sparkly option among the available options; sometimes we'll have to choose the least-smelly choice among a group of five that all stink.
I really felt like there was no right answer here even though I knew one of them had to be right. I get why A is correct just really don't feel okay with it being correct lol

the lsat writers deserve their own special jail time for this question
LSAC needs to be sent to prison for this being the correct answer choice.
This is a shit question the assumption is massive
Not really...A is a better and a very much plausible explanation compared to the rest of the answer options.

The bar of support is in hell for these questions
Literally
and i low key feel like the explanation makes it even harder to understand sometimes
Taking a break. As an English Major, reading this garbage writing makes me want to die. lol
No because I'm a fellow English major (with a Master's too T_T), and why am I STRUGGLING. ☠️

Those are some dogshit answers choices
real
Humbled again
Trash question wow
How in the world was this 3/5 difficulty?
i’ve noticed that the 3/5 difficulties have been the hardest ones!

How is this one not rated as more difficult than the previous question? I got it right, but bro.
Most of the answer choices don’t make a lick of sense. Idk how you could choose anything except ‘A’. This question is very easy.
what the hell was this?
This whole section hurting my brain and ego.
lol I feel you
THESE MAKE NO SENSE!
Absolutely none. We're supposed to elicit assumptions in some answer choices, but not in others, and there's no rhyme or reason on how or when to go about assuming.
omg this pissed me off so bad
none of these answers really made sense to me. Even though A is correct, it reads like a really week answer choice.

Process of elimination really is my best friend
the answer choices hurt my brain
lol "I wanted you to do this question because I think it really helps drive the point..." -_-
I'm losing my mind
This question was simultaneously easy and confusing at the same time.
tbh, the assumptions required related to car theft knowledge is quite unfriendly for people who are unfamiliar to it
i fear im cooked ..
I really felt like there was no right answer here even though I knew one of them had to be right. I get why A is correct just really don't feel okay with it being correct lol
The answer choices for this question were... professionally speaking... cheeks
