I think the beauty of E is also that it uses the premises against the argument. The argument says that the strike can kill many organisms nearby, but it doesn't impact organisms worldwide beyond that limited range. But if most of the world's dinosaurs live within that limited range (nearby the strike), then yes, the Chicxulub asteroid did cause many of the last dinosaur species to go extinct.
I always have a different assumption than the one I was supposed to have haha. I thought the correct answer would be about the assumption that meteor strikes DO have worldwide effects (which I have because of all the dinosaur extinction documentaries I watched as a kid).
So what kinds of question notes have y'all found are helpful to write down during the blind review? Especially when you haven't changed from your original answer
Also, in this question and throughout the lesson you have been saying that the answer choice cannot contradict or attack the premise, but doesn't the correct answer do exactly that? Or is it okay to contradict/attack premises that are assumptions?
I'm having a hard time understanding how certain parts in a stimulus are assumptions while other parts are not. Couldn't we argue that any part of a given stimulus is an assumption? #help
I got this question correct but I spent longer on it than I wanted to. I think it's because I had a hard time figuring out what the author's conclusion actually was. I couldn't figure out if the conclusion was that "the asteroid wouldn't have a worldwide effect" or "the asteroid didn't kill all the dinos". I see now that the worldwide effect is a part of the assumption there but it took longer to realize that for me. I ended up picking E because it was the one that made the most sense.
This one I was able to intuit the answer choice before I even read it. In my head, I was already thinking, "OK, but what if all or most of the dinosaurs at that time lived in that region?"
JY I just wanna say I love you. You make studying for the LSAT much more tolerable.

I do better when I read rather than watch the lesson. Is anyone else experiencing that?

C was so attractive but had to reread the stimulus first before I got to the correct answer--just 1min over (ugh)(
Stupid internal assumptions!
#feedback, please fix the blind review! It shows the answer before we can take a second attempt
That party had to end in a bang

Any time I get one right I get excited and then see that it is always a low priority question
Mr. Worldwide
My problem is I think I rush my thinking a bit too much, I need to slow down and take all the information in….
Was between D AND E AND CHOSE D :(

#help I understand why (A) is not the correct answer but does anyone know why it doesn't strengthen the argument?
Am I correct in thinking that this question basically comes down entirely to the use of "most?"
"Immediately"
Does this mean ASAP, hours, days, weeks? In my mind, the dinosaurs could have migrated away from the area.
Had it narrowed down to C and E. Went with E. C just did not feel quite correct.
I am struggling with this entire unit so bad. I do nottttt get these questions at all.

werent the dinosaurs on pangea??

#question How do we distinguish between WSE questions that rely on causal logic and questions that don't
All the dinosaurs lived in Mexico hehe
