@GDatria715 A property can be ascribed only to individuals even if that property is had universally by those individuals.
Imagine a messy pile of cubes. Every object in the pile is a cube. So the property is universally held by objects in the pile.
But 'being a cube' is an individual property of each cube. For example, the pile is not itself a cube even if every object in the pile is a cube. Or let's say you take Cube A and Cube B from the pile. Cube A is a cube and Cube B is a cube, but the pair A+B is definitely not a cube.
I didn't get it because I confused each for all... Since each institution has staff that are there for selfish reasons 8 didn't have any altruistic staff members to compare too.
I believe these questions are rare because they are not as difficult as all the other question types we've done so far--LSAT writers want us to struggle lol
The written version of this lesson is a menace for AC D
Hmm, I can think of so many controversial examples so perhaps something anodyne. Alright, let’s do Christianity. 😇 I doubt the founders of Christianity intended for the Spanish Inquisition.
I'm confused as to why E cannot be a good answer. The institutions have a purpose, and they can serve another purpose (being serving selfish staff members in their pursuits.) The only reason I can think that E wouldn't be correct is that E says "just as effectively" and we do not know how effective the institutions are at serving each purpose. Someone please chime in. I chose b under time constraints but under blind review, E seems just as appealing to me.
@DanielNahum the stimulus references a whole (institutions) vs its parts (staff members). answer e references an intention (maybe "public purposes?" not strongly implied) vs. another purpose (the stimulus mentions it is achieving its goals, so this does not make sense). answer b makes a specific part/whole comparison, so that answer choice fits better
@DanielNahum It is because in E the instrument E only talks about relating to the hospital / public places. It is saying these public places can have 2 purposes but the reading is saying the public places has one purpose and the workers there (not the same "instrument," which by the way is a very vague description of public spaces compared to the other answers) have a different purpose.
In the text summary for C, "in the ladder case" should be "in the latter case". I was thinking back to the question with the kids and the stairs and ladders!

doesnt really make sense. why are we talking about individual properties when it clearly states all members are selfish?

right on the money with timing

YAYYA got it right:)
@amara AWW YAAA me too :)
is it just me or I chose C which is the correct answer but it shows up I chose B ? So it says it is incorrect. Is this only happening to me ?
Not me seeing property, immediately crossing it out & then coming back to it after I also crossed all the others out lol
Yep I can also see why these a rare. Once you can spot what you're looking for you can basically hunt
the whole is greater than the sum of its parts is something i only realized in BR
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
Grammar made me get this wrong!!!
A dog can be used for companionship but can also be used for hunting
An army can be used for defense, but can also be used for offense.
"property" was a choice.
@wonderingguy Very annoying

Finally got one of the questions right AND under the target timing!
Lmao American Pie reference is top tier

@DanielNahum just as effectively is the only thing I also see to make it wrong.

I overthought the "not all"
I feel like B was still even a reach I understand the explanation but i think it's still dumb.
Completely disregarded B because I saw property and compared it something else...ugh
I did want to pick B, but I thought its not referred "property" but rather quality. Meh
sick 4/4 right
Unfortunately he said this section is "rare" I too am finding these digestible
