this question is a good practice for distinguishing sub conclusions and main conclusions; and to know the fact that a sub conclusion will have sub premises
I got it right but it took me like 3 mins cuz I was stuck on C, they both sounded good in my head and would talk myself into making ti correct, any help on how I can speed up the process?
The word "because" is my weapon for determining support relationships. If I'm not sure what is a conclusion and what is support, I'll take the two statements and put "because" between them. If I get a sentence that makes sense, the first statement is the conclusion and the second statement is the premise. If the sentence I get doesn't quite make sense, I switch the two statements around and leave the word "because" between them. One way or the other should make sense as a complete sentence. You should be able to sense the support relationship this way because we use "because" all the time in natural English. This trick works with determining the major conclusion and subconclusion as well. That's how I avoided reading this stimulus all wrong.
Really would benefit from an expansion on determining MC from MP/SC in this question. Immediately declaring the "... ill-advised" claim as the MC off of "this suggests..." seems haphazard. #feedback
I am really struggling with these, I have even pulled up the old notes on how to know what is a premise or a conclusion. From using those I knew this was a conclusion but D's wordiness is what confused me, I really dont know what else to do with these questions I have gotten maybe 2 right this whole unit
First one I've gotten wrong in this section, because I didn't take the time to actually fully read answer choice D.

I got it right buttt, I was 54 seconds over the time.
smh I forgot sub conclusions exist
UGH I misread the first sentence not once but twice.
We are so back after that ridiculously hard NA section.
this question is a good practice for distinguishing sub conclusions and main conclusions; and to know the fact that a sub conclusion will have sub premises
minor premise -> supports minor/sub conclusion -> minor/sub conclusion becomes premise to main conclusion
aint no way
LETS GO WE ARE SOOOOOOOO BACK

Got it right 3 seconds faster than the target
I got overconfident...
frick as I was going through the stimulus, I marked it as the sub-conclusion/ major premise. I didn't fully read D and eliminated it prematurely :(
BAGGED! Nailed it
.
holy shit i suck at these
Could someone help me differentiate between sub-conclusion/major premise vs. main conclusion? Thank you in advance!
Good day to be an English major
Me seconds before getting it right: I dont know, this is a weird one.
Me seconds after getting it right: Just like I thought. Elementary really.
I hope I never meet an LSAT writer.
For if I do, then I will go to jail.
