Why couldn't E be the answer based on the idea that an instrument (i.e. institutions mentioned in the stimulus) created for one purpose (i.e. public good) could also serve another purpose effectively (i.e. fulfill workers' selfish desires)?
I didn't like B because of the "not all" in it. The stimulus' conclusion is very strong, saying each of the staff members, but of course I accept that B is the right answer and will try to rethink this question using JY's advice.
After rethinking the question, I see that staff members within a hospital, labor union, school, etc. are distinct from managers and executives - folks that weren't mentioned in the passage. The LSAT writers are sooo tricky.
@JO_Odera I did not go with B for the same reason - the stimulus states "each... member... only... selfish reasons." That did not match in my view with "not ALL... members possess," which implies that some do. The stimulus clearly stated that ALL members possessed a different property.
Thank you for sharing your explanatory afterthought. I don't know if that is sufficient though. Management is still "staff" - just with a different function. (At least that's what Google says - of course, Google knows it all and best :) If that is for debate - what "staff" is - then the stimulus should have differentiated various lines of staff, but it clearly said - "EACH staff member." I would like to propose addressing this nuance in the explanatory video because there are at least some students who tripped on this one.
E seemed like a more concise principle for the stimulus. ie. The hospitals purpose was to serve the public, the staffs purpose was to gain some sort of selfish purpose and both needs were being met.
Yeah E got me as well, I think that the main flaw here is that it excludes the people within the organization. Additionally, E references the purpose the organization was created for which isn't mentioned at all in the stimulus. It is basically saying that an instrument, lets say a charity, is created to give food to the less fortunate in the United States. E is saying that this charity could just as effectively serve the less fortunate in Canada. I hope this helps!

I was reading property as in real estate oh my gawd
me too killme
Same
I'm so dumb, all i could think of when I saw property was that an organization owned land that it's employees didn't have...
@cwferrari Same here!!
@cwferrari righttt I had to go back to that one
@cwferrari my exact same thought process
@cwferrari ME TOO
Ah the word "property" screwed me here
Me too.
"property" was a choice.
@wonderingguy Very annoying
God I love this section so much more than PSA
Can all LSAT questions be Principle questions please?
An example for E - Ozempic (I kid)
LOL
I literally read property as physical property, as in, land ownership -_-
it's okay, same </3
same
same :/ something told me I should've just clicked it
SAME wtf
@cmduell23393 Me too
sick 4/4 right
Unfortunately he said this section is "rare" I too am finding these digestible
Not me seeing property, immediately crossing it out & then coming back to it after I also crossed all the others out lol
Completely disregarded B because I saw property and compared it something else...ugh
Damn I feel dumb
Yep I can also see why these a rare. Once you can spot what you're looking for you can basically hunt
the one time i picked E it’s wrong
same. ur not alone bahaha

super glad I am not the only one who read property as tangible property lol.
The person who created this question is a demon LOL. The even though clause came so out of left field
I AM ON A ROLL!!!!
This question type is exceptionally easy.
Yes, I was just thinking so as well

I had the same concern -- what you said makes a ton of sense!

I was going to choose B but then I didn't think "public purpose" would be described as a property.
same
I did want to pick B, but I thought its not referred "property" but rather quality. Meh
Grammar made me get this wrong!!!
I overthought the "not all"
