How come I can't see the difficulty of the questions (and other stats) anymore in the little 'answers' drop down like I could in the old version of the website? It was always helpful for me to look at the most popular wrong answers to evaluate trap answers even if I got it right. I usually did this before the video to see if my reasoning matched up with the video.
@mszchloechen640 This fuggen General Agamemnon is an idiot, the gods arent even guaranteeing he will win, just that a bunch of ships will get to battle... whats the point if they lose? what a dim person.... the choice is irrelevant... the choice kinda boils down to kill your daughter so all these other people can die on both sides... it makes no sense... and im really trying to make it make it make sense.
I know if I was a soldier I wouldnt want my survival depending on if some guy sacrifices his daughter or not. who writes this garbage? Is this like the trashy romance novels of greece, wheres that opinion because its mine! These are trash...
@AutonomousTacticalTheory Deep lore: Agamemnon won the war (in part due to the sacrifice) but then got assassinated by his wife (partially on account of the sacrifice).
Can you not say desiring "it" could be referring to loosing of the wind? Does it always have to refer to just a noun? Im confused on why it's not plausible to substitute it with the word loosing as well as wind.
I believe because the wind is already included in the structuring of the overall idea. If sacrificing his daughter would lead to a military victory, it is permitted to desire it. It being his daughter's sacrifice.
We know that the reference to winning the battle is already supported by the wind, which is only achieved by the daughter sacrifice. So referring to it a second time wouldn't make much sense.
Can it be assumed that answer choices with striking similarity, like B and C, will be one of the correct answer choices? And therefore eliminate the choices that aren't similar?

My sensitive self: I see why it’s the right answer, but it’s mean. thinks about what his daughter must have thought if she heard that and wastes time

This parable teaches us a lot about the LSAT....
Having B as an answer should be criminal.
Unusually cruel of them to put "he also deeply desires a victorious battle" right before this quote

Sounds like what Thanos did lol
@dannyurbina18387 I thought of Stannis Baratheon

I wouldn't rely on a rule like this. Sometimes it will work, but sometimes it won't.
Would have totally fallen for B 😑
nice one, george rr martin
Dang it Stannis Baratheon
after reading the GOT references I read ur name as Joffrey
This referential phrasing example is really helpful! This got me the first time I came across this passage.
Agamemnon got that dog in him
Hahahahaha this literally made me spit out of my coffee
