For those of you who might still be having trouble seeing how ridiculous the analogy in this stimulus is, this is basically what it's saying:
"Modern rockets have combustion engines that make them capable of space travel. The earliest cars also had combustion engines. We can conclude from this that the earliest cars were also capable of space travel."
Whoever wrote the "for which there is no clear evidence whether these were shared by ichthyosaurs." for D is evil, straight up. Literally just blatantly made to trip you up.
Right!! this is super annoying because it feels like they make one rule and then show us an example dismissing that rule but never give any guidance on when the rule is applicable and when it isnt

I got this one wrong but am honestly just impressed at how well (D) was structured as a trick
I’m glad that im getting good at cutting out what’s clearly wrong very quickly, like A, B, and E in this question
but im always getting my ass whooped by these trap answers :’^(
SAME. It does make me feel better at least I'm getting the most common wrong answer wrong.
This was an easy one for me, maybe it was because I focused on the conclusion and nothing else? I was able to hunt the answer.
D just gonna play in my face like that
i got baited
i laughed
mood
unfortunately I am a fish and i do take bait
Finally got one right. It's the small victories.
I got C but not by thinking through analogy, but by using suffiency/necessity framework
Same here
well there goes my self-esteem

Like... bro.
I'm pissed. i picked D and ruled out C with so much confidence LOLOL
I just can't accept the fact that 75 out of 100 test takers should have chosen the right answer to such a masterly trapped question.
You can really tell from the curves of questions that people are getting better at this test on a year-to-year basis.

The struggle is real
It's a cruel world we live in
totally missed that the prehistoric creature was a reptile and not also a mammal, that's what I get for reading fast
Im glad im not the only one who was between C & D - got baited in to D sadly
HA first question that has genuinely pissed me off. I would've bet my entire LSAT score that D was right. OMG this was hurtful.
I was so fucking confident bro
im so over these questions
I keep getting weaken questions wrong at first and then right in the BR. Im over it
i will spend 5 min on an easy difficulty question and get it wrong but get this one right in 30 seconds LOL
Call me Ishmael the way I focused too much on the whale
I ate. Finally.
And left no crumbs, Cabburkhalter.
I am literally terrible at weaken questions. Some of these explanations just make it worse
My brain is clicking now I've been getting most of these questions correct and I feel good. Let's not talk about my time though :I
These explanations make a large amount of assumptions
I had it right but switched to D on blind review because I thought, "oh this is the analogy lesson so I should probably attack the analogy." :(
this is exactly what i did LOL
