this thread has helped me break down these wordy ahhhss quesitons https://www.reddit.com/r/LSAT/comments/10wotep/how_to_overcome_complicated_wording_on_the_lsat/
Great Recap! and such an important reminder that you must make the distinction that this question type is about its STRUCTURE! and not Substantive analysis like the many other question types we get used to doing. and bc its structural the answers can be much more general and the questions more abstract. I am reminded now about the subtle nature that each question type has and the importance of remembering them as its so easy to forget yet so essential to doing well!
The lesson right before this makes AP questions clear to me. I wrote down the following notes of the basic roles of the argument parts:
Context/other people's argument
Premise
Major premise/sub-conclusion
Main conclusion
Remember that AP questions will infrequently ask for main conclusion because it's, generally, easier to spot and label. So, be ready to pick out labels 1-3. When seeing the except in this example, I realized, after reading the stimulus, it's the other people's argument. So, I'm looking for that kind of answer, which D does.

“We shall never again have a situation just like World War 1.” Hmm I wonder why they call it 1…
LMFAOO Right!!
so happy to be here after sa/na
literally me.
Aced this question cold. Just when I thought I was out, they pull me back in
We are so back. Never been more back than this.
Is it just me or is the question stem weirdly worded? I swear I speak English... took me more than a minute

I swear it is the lack of quotations around the excerpt that always trips me up. I wish they included that
yea I didn't realize they're talking about "history" rather than "history figures" until I watched the explanation video
Oh boy here we go
lets go people, we are cooking, 175+ coming!!!!!
@IslamUmarov inshallah

guys im SCARED
literally what are we talking about rn. in one ear n out the other...
We are so back
did i find a fellow twizzy trying to become a lawyer
What tripped me up the most is the wording of the question stem ("That...in which one of the following ways?"). Why is it worded this way?????
WHAT
I'm so mad I read the theory and approach before this video haha, he just repeated everything here.
Anyone else noticing that they can't help but shake the feeling that there might be some benefit in doing drill sets with mixed stem types?
It is definitely important to do that and you totally can customize your drills in the Practice section!
"and we are going to call the excerpt... excerpt"
we are so back baby!!
wow this video made sense
i looooove these
@EmeryBeals I dont agree

I knew it was D but I didn't know why I knew it was D. Then I looked at the explanation and I knew even less
@NoaF123 lmao fr
So basically, what role does X (excerpt they're giving us) play?
yeah this one went right over my head. Uh oh.

Struggling with understanding answer choices that say "takes for granted". Does anyone have a way they rephrase this to themselves?
I believe that takes for granted in this context means a fact that which is simply taken to be true without having to argue for it.
i already like this type of question more than the SA and NA type! feels so much more familiar
