I picked up on the analogy in the stimulus, I scanned through the answers to see if the word analogy was in it, I chose C without reading the other choices.
Got this right because I understood the kind of argument, not so much because I knew what the author was saying. In fact I still don't understand the analogy used.
All i understood about this question was that it was reasoning by analogy and ruled out every other question from that. I still have no idea really what the argument is trying to say.
@Tobykenobi it's such a dumb argument, but the author is saying that "people shouldn't rid themselves of their tendency to mistake how an event will affect their happiness" because, by analogy, "if our brains interpret two parallel lines as converging, it would be a mistake to correct that perceived deficiency" because it actually isn't deficient
These questions to me are just good old fashion reading comprehension. How well does the answer summarize the argument. Your ability to pinpoint is just reading comprehension IMO.
I still have faith in all of you even if you're getting these wrong.
I appreciate these lessons the most as it gives me new/alternative meanings to "did not obtain" and "not appropriate" (so far) that I was not aware of for the purpose of the LSAT and have assisted me in getting future questions like this correct - the same questions I got wrong because I was unaware fo those alternative meanings.
EDIT: come to think of it, a Foundation lesson or LR lesson dedicated to such alternative meanings to the aforementioned words/phrases and those alike would be helpful and may save time for all. At minimum, it would conceive an awareness of these phrases/words and when we encounter them, indicate that they may have an alternative meaning. Sometimes I've come back to these lessons when I encounter them to be sure and often times, it answer choice I was thinking or stuck between but was unsure because of my unfamiliarity of such alt meanings.

#feedback Someone from 7sage.... I got this right BUT when we see that a conclusion is prescriptive should we look for prescriptive answers and vice-versa for descriptive? I am just a bit confused on why he keeps saying its prescriptive... #feedback
"Here's a principle about how its okay that people, on occasion, make mistakes. Anyway heres a random scenario of a surgeon going all Cyberpunk 2077 to mess up the way you see geometry" what????
It's essentially the context that is laying the groundwork for the argument. It's saying "people tend to make errors...but people shouldn't try to change this tendency."

grammar is a bitch.

yep I saw an analogy in the stim and saw an ac saying analogy and picked that

Ngl, saw an analogy presented in the stimulus. Saw the word "analogous" in (C) and sent it lol
I got this right and was able to POE pretty quickly but man this argument some buns

why would i think two parallel lines ever converge
@MarcoLofaso i guess depending on optical perspective, parallel lines appear to converge as they approach the horizon
@RyanAlexander //
I got the answer right I was just so thrown off by the strength of the analogy lol
grammar is king grammar is king grammar is king
this method is so cool #feedback
What a garbage argument lol, probably the worst one on the LSAT I've seen yet
that trick we learned in lesson 2 really helps!
omm been clutching for me. We back in the game baby!!!
what trick??????????????
@Bazooka66 don't leave us hanging!
This feels more convoluted than a three star come now!
I felt like I was losing a brain cell reading this

What
ok FINALLY i got these last two right. i genuinely was going to quit.
I cannnot understand how the first sentence relates to the rest of the paragraph.
Thanks! I don't know why I couldn't see it before.
It's essentially the context that is laying the groundwork for the argument. It's saying "people tend to make errors...but people shouldn't try to change this tendency."
The passage felt like a dream
what's weird is i got this right super easy in like ten seconds, but all the other ones are really hard to me for some reason. weird.
Touch up on your foundational stuff, I was having the same problem.
what do you mean foundational stuff?
I got it right, but that was a weird one lol.
