Almost picked A until I read E. A is a trickster. It is stating a fact that could make Healey seem like he is trying to deliberately mislead the buyers. But we have to make that assumption that he is using A as evidence for why he might be. Obviously, E includes a similar fact as A and includes the "why" behind his actions (which is what A was missing).
I like to use the trick "so what?". Anytime I am confused, I read the answer choice and ask myself "So what". If I can't explain why or if I find myself assuming a lot of information from a simple fact/rule, then it's not the answer.
I was able to narrow it down between A and E and chose E because of the rule being if a description is a deliberate attempt to mislead.... I chose E over A solely because he is literally attempting to mislead bidders by describing a vase as something else to increase the bidding/value.
I crossed out E because I saw the first part "without consulting anyone with expertise in authenticating vases" as outside info that the rule is silent on since the rule doesn't say anything about that. I'm confused how to know when rules are silent on certain facts
From my understanding answer choice E helps us conclude the application because without E all we know is that Healy's labeled the vase is from the 18th century which Healy’s could have stated that because of an error by the art museum’s authenticator or some other reason. Answer choice E needed to specifically state that Healy misrepresented the vase in a deliberate attempt to mislead bidders. The part about "without consulting..." is not really the main takeaway from the answer. in comparison with the other answers E is the most accurate in explaining the "deliberately misleading bidders" which was what was missing in the application of the principle.

1000% aura
yes queen the lsat does indeed luv me
i slayed this question
pls help me god to slay this
went through abcd thinking I was tweaking
I am starting to feel like I'm successfully retraining my intuition on LR problems. I got the problem correct in under a minute!
I eliminated A becuase it doesn't metion deliberate attempt

feels good to get a question right!
Withe PSAa questions, correct answer will use info from Application and apply the Principle/Rule correctly.
Chose E for BR, A for actual (fml). Assumed that A implies that it was done for that reason. Ugh. Implicit assumptions.
From my viewpoint, this subset is much easier than the previous ones.
Agreed. It's giving me some hope lol

I was stuck between A and E and chose A ahhh we're learning here
Rule: Description is deliberately misleading → Guilty
E establishes that Healy intentionally provided a misleading description to increase profit, so they're guilty
i forgot to scroll to read E so it took me longer to understand why there was no right answer lol
Got it TEAM E
I wonder if all of these types will be similar. It can't just be "here's two photos, find the difference between them".
Didn't pick E because it had mentioned the consulting part, it just didn't feel important to the application... Tricked me -_-
#Feedback - In the Answer Choice E explanation, ladder should be spelled like latter
feel like this is easier than the find the rule since i can kinda assume the answer choice more
Got this one wrong because I had A chosen and didn't read the last part of E thats unforunate
