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?
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."

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
'this is perfect!!... and i'm not referring to murdering his father"
@marishahin lol
these are making hella sense
Antigone!
@NicholasMcIvor Came to the comments to look for this exact comment
I think the issue is not understanding the passage......it's how much time you are getting to understand
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 reference lfg
Antigone mentioned
why do we have 11 questions in one passage :/
(is this representative of the actual lsat?)
@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.
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?
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."
This is perfect - not murdering his father - but rather the answer choice made me lol
So far I like these better than the whole LR section.
Don't know what accede means SIGH
to agree to a demand
"She killed her husband because he deserved it."
Thank you for that laughter break
application questions- think of the viewpoint before heading into the questions
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
