Self-study
Hi everyone! First post here.
Decided to write my question here because honestly I didn't know where else to direct my question (that said please let me know if there is a better forum for these types of inquiries.)
My question is: can anyone please help explain how the "Most Strongly Supported" (MSS) questions in LR and "Implied" questions in RC are different? I've been approaching them pretty much as identical question types that can be approached with the same type of reasoning mode (e.g. spectrum of support diagram) but it seems like -- having gone through hundreds of these questions thus far -- there is actually a small but significant difference between the two question types.
Would welcome any advice on this (+ moral support is also welcome!) from my fellow LSATers! Cheers and good luck to all :)

My guess is that MSS is almost almost certainly stated in stimulus? And Implied RC is more so inference based, leaning into the implicit tone of the passage? I personally approach MSS as an MBT, though with the caveat that it doesn't necessarily have to follow the argument perfectly. Implied RC is using the text as evidence for what the author might be saying in between the lines (more like an Inference type question).
I also may be wrong, so please take this with a grain of salt! Wishing your moral support and luck!
