I have to say, I love the way Kevin teaches. At first I didn't understand why the passages had to be broken down in the way they were being broken down into, but after doing so, I barely had to refer to the passage anymore to answer any of the questions - it was instinctive omg.
@breezyprabahar944 Agree. I was skeptical of his approach at first, but it has worked beautifully for this particular passage and its related questions.
@JudeBianouni No I think they are just trying to show all the different types of questions that come up in RC. The most questions to one passage I've seen is 8.
actually sounds like the plot to an awesome movie - "A tragic figure, defying a curse placed on his family by the gods, leads his city into a battle that he realizes will prove futile."
I read option A and immediately knew that this was referencing the story of Antigone. Mandatory Philosophy 101 from freshman year came in clutch, after all
I could see how he mentions "best illustrates" wording is Q stem refers to Application Qs in LR, but the first thing I thought ways parallel Q's - analogies. Could this also be correct way or no?

So far I like these better than the whole LR section.
"She killed her husband because he deserved it."
Thank you for that laughter break
This is perfect - not murdering his father - but rather the answer choice made me lol

'this is perfect!!... and i'm not referring to murdering his father"
@marishahin lol
if i get a question about greek gods or whatever on the test i'll just admit defeat man, this sucksss
imagine if we had 35 mins per passage...
Love when an RC passage is on a subject I'm interested in and would have read even if I weren't studying for the LSAT
(A), (B) - Sophocles's Antigone
(C) - Likely Euripides's Medea, though the description applies to Aeschylus's Oresteia too.
(D) - Aeschylus's Seven Against Thebes
(E) - Sophocles's Oedipus Rex
@Stylo LSAT writers know ball
Antigone!
@NicholasMcIvor Came to the comments to look for this exact comment
A and B reference Antigone
and C perhaps references Oresteia?
But E definitely references Oedipus.
Man I love when my niche knowledge is mentioned in LSAT
@SheepLiterature I think C is specifically referencing when Clytemnestra kills Agamemnon in Libation Bearers.
Same, I took a class on Greek Tragedy last semester.
@SheepLiterature Im not an expert on these, but doesnt Medea end up killing Jason for being unfaithful?
I think the issue is not understanding the passage......it's how much time you are getting to understand
Antigone reference lfg
Antigone mentioned
these are making hella sense
Don't know what accede means SIGH
to agree to a demand
application questions- think of the viewpoint before heading into the questions
Honestly not that bad, I got all but one correct!
why do we have 11 questions in one passage :/
(is this representative of the actual lsat?)

Thank you for that clarification Kevin, I really needed it.
I read option A and immediately knew that this was referencing the story of Antigone. Mandatory Philosophy 101 from freshman year came in clutch, after all
thankful for these examples so i can make the connections from breaking down the passage to how i can then use those to answer the questions
imagine being an atheist during these times lol good luck charlie

Answer choices A and B look like Antigone and answer C is perhaps Agamenon. Does anyone know which plays D and E refers to?
E seems like it's referencing Oedipus
