Do you think that when there are two very similar answers like A and B that are almost impossible to differentiate on meaning, then they are wrong? Is this like a warning flag that we are supposed to be skeptical of to look to another answer?
I see what they were trying to do with this one. They wanted us to conflate the drama being proof of the emergence of free will with the drama being the source of the emergence of free will.
I'm very confused on how they're calculating the timing for these questions... is it the passage timing + the question timing? I mean, it has to be because ain't no way I answered this question in three seconds haha.
@Marleyrosezimt I interpreted it as the Tragic Story reflecting what was going on in Greek civilization... so if the idea of the "self/personal autonomy" was emerging during ancient Greek civilization, then the story is an attempt to accurately reflect what was being perceived at the time. I basically thought the word "emergence" was kinda saying that this story is proof of personal autonomy being on the rise (or lowkey trending) in ancient Greek civilization at the time
At this point if I truly understand and can summarize each parragraph and understand what the passage is about I'll be able to hopefully ace this section both here and on the exam
D should be wrong cause it talked about the way free will was percepted in Greek society, which implys the general view. But the veiw that this playwrighter had doesn't need to reflect the views of Greek society? While it might be proof a view that was emerging in Greek society, it can still not reflect the view of Greek society as a whole.
@arose I believe its more about how answer D uses the word perceived. The drama was proof that this method of thinking exsisted. The drama did not create or inspire this method of thinking necessarily.
Reference to the "Western world" had me crossing out C and E real fast. I caught the "initiate" and "new" language in A and B and felt like that was inconsistent with "proof." I felt confident choosing D because I felt like the "accurately reflects" phrasing very strongly supported the "proof" mentioned in the quote the question was referring to.
One thing to remember in this question is that "proof" of something does not mean that the "proof" is a causal mechanism. Remember in the garbage can argument, proof that the cat is licking its paw is not proof that the cat knocked the garbage bin over. We need the assumption that licking the paw only happens when he knocks the can over.
C and E are wrong because they introduce the Western World, which leads us to assume a connection between free agency and Western philosophy. A and B are incorrect because they both say that the "proof" did something. So D is and must be correct.

@edzeppelin11 yeah it is. i assume it calculates it that way since we're answering the questions in isolation
Bar-boo
why is LR so much easier than RC i thought it would be the other way around
@yam I know I have been getting -0 - -3 on LR sections but RC is killing me!
@yam true
Why are we using the word emergence if we are to assume that Ancient Greeks already held this perception?

Please God let me be good at RC.
Yall ever see the answer and immediately get why it's right over the other question!? 🤦🏿♂️ Why am I rushing 😭!?
This question was so easy to me!
The LSAT writers really tricked me with AC A and B </3
I chose b, and I was wrong. In protest, I am just going to refuse to like this Barbu fella.
@KDLaw78 Scholar, KDLaw78, suggests that "[Answer choice] B is proof of the emergence of an individual's rejection of Z. Bardu. "
i luv rc, rc loves me.
this question gave me trust issues.
AHHH I chose B first but chose D in the BR:)
i cannot imagine these questions taking less than 45 minutes.
@Kevin_Lin you are cooking
i was stuck between b and d, picked d in BR a win is a winnnn
really liking your explanations on these questions, Kevin!!! #sohelpful
