i feel like this question was confusing because of the past couple questions were to either strengthen or weaken the relationship of the analogous system to the conclusion system by either showing that they are similar or dissimilar to the system the conclusion is about, so that was the mindset i was in when going into the answer choices and didn't realize this was actually just an assumption question and required a different strategy than what we have been doing these last couple questions
Idk why, but lately in this module something just 'clicked' in my brain and I've been acing these higher level questions like nobody's business. It's when I overthink things that I end up fumbling... but I'm really proud of my progress thus far!
im a bit surprised bc i did not expect this question to be a level 5...this may be aura on my part i didnt even highlight anything hooray!
i was pretty confident with my answer and none of the other choices seemed to sway me at all, i will admit i had to read through more than once to actually understand what it meant. but i ended up just not caring about it since it mentioned something that occurred in the past and i felt in this scenario, the information d was providing was not really giving much to the conclusion aka the last sentence in stem
i was hunting for an answer that connected the points between "fixing fraud in the discipline" and "great boons to the discipline", while A does not provide a positive correlation between the 2 - it gives me the contrapositive (?), which would be either no progress or "de-progress" idk how to word it brah chill
the overall goal just seems to be to make further progress and A gave us a scenario we did not want, and was further reasoning as to why fraud should be dealt with via new safeguards
thanks for reading bai :3 sorry for bad grammar but idgaf here lul
Took me a minute over time, but I'm really proud to have gotten this one right. Was convinced it was D even though I had doubts and at the last second I reread "conducive to progress" which led me to A. Feeling good! Now time for lunch.
I ended up getting this one right in the BR (originally chose B) because I was able to read more carefully and realized that the final sentence subtly says “to progress in physics,” so the author is assuming the scientific fraud hinders progress, which is what AC A says.
I read the question stem and was like "Ok, this is a strengthen question. I know what I have to do." Digest the stem, get a good understanding and totally get my pre-phrase so I am ready to rock and roll.
Sure enough, I did a perfect weaken pre-phrase which too me to D. The answer even said this would weaken!
@GordonGianadda Shaming someone for asking a question is pathetic. If someone is willing to learn, what's the problem? Why even bother commenting that?
had to look up what conducive and deleterious both mean.. ended up getting the question right but took me almost 6 min lol. looks like i need to widen my vocabulary
@TeklaCo I was reading a book about an hour before this study session and whenever I run into a word I don't know, I'll stop write it down in a small notebook and look up the definition. Deleterious was that word!
I got this right and was so confident about it - just to have a different way of getting the answer (hopefully that's still a good thing...).
Process of elimination works wonders, of course. But I also thought A strengthened the analogy that fraud in physics and fraud in biology worked relatively similar, because it broadens the topic to "scientific fraud" (and they both fall in this category). Or even biology and physics both fall within the "scientific discipline" category mentioned in A.
Is this a good way of thinking about this? Or is this sort of thought process not the best when it comes to these types of questions? Like maybe it worked because it was this specific stimulus?

I only got this right because I needed to look up with deleterious means lol. Whoever made this question...I wanna talk.

@yengibaryanh same here, i got initially tricked into picking B..
BANG. got it first try. POE helped a lot
I was bested by this duel but I shall prevail next time
I didn't know what deleterious meant.
OMG I DID IT
I got it right after BR, and I have really sucked at this section, so I am proud of myself.
I must admit, I am pretty impressed with myself.
I read the question stem and was like "Ok, this is a strengthen question. I know what I have to do." Digest the stem, get a good understanding and totally get my pre-phrase so I am ready to rock and roll.

Today I learned that not using a thesaurus more often will have a deleterious impact on my score
me and analogy questions are not friends lol
this question is deleterious to my mental health

@r.ojina if you don't know what conducive means by the time you complete college idek bro. you gotta read a book

shaking my fist at the air
freakin' vocab
had to look up what conducive and deleterious both mean.. ended up getting the question right but took me almost 6 min lol. looks like i need to widen my vocabulary
I was so thrown off by the word deleterious
@MarcosGuzman415 same lol
Nothing spikes my dopamine more than getting a level 5 question right
Well. Learned ''deleterious'' as well as ''conducive'' meanings :) a win is a win

@catintheLSAT I had the same thoughts and also got it right!
son im crine ts was the easiest question ever I immediately read it and was like: who said anything about progress being hindered by fraud?
@sarahbalfoul im crine XD
got it tight in blind review :(
I'm sorry, DELETIRIOUS???? bsfr rn
