In these skill builders I think it'd be super helpful to be able to highlight the questions directly or change the font color to determine things such as the referentials, subject, etc. unless this is already a feature and I'm missing something!
I think my main takeaway from this exercise is not to get every detail perfect (i.e. not identifying every single referential / pronouns / etc.) but to get accustomed to seeing how they are interwoven in COMPLEX ways into sentences.
A big part of the test seems to be knowing how and in what ways they are going to try and trap us or mix us up.
This lesson is way too confusing, it seems the right way to find the answer or the system of understanding changes with each prompt. the lesson also was too confusing. i hope this isnt essential. I kinda get it but the moment I think i do i dont.
I thought the lessons were great but on this exercise, I needed way more instructions in the answers and what exactly to do at the very beginning. Very confusing. P.S. Your screenname is awesome lol
I just want to add onto the top comment and say that this would be massively helpful. Especially if you labeled what each highlighter color stood for, and then we could add it in ourselves
OOOOOH, I am so thankful for this lesson. I have been studying for the LSAT for about a year now, and didn't even realize I was making this mistake until just now.
For question 2, I thought "their" refers to only "most consumers". It actually refers to the whole phrase---"most consumers of lemon soda". Paying attention to the modifier is so important. "Most consumers" is NOT the same thing as "most consumers of lemon soda". This refers to 2 different groups of people! "Most consumers of lemon soda" is a subset of "most consumers".
In question 4, why would the word "its" in "its dealings" not be another referential? Whose dealings? The lenders. The word "its" is referring back to the person whose dealings are being discussed, no?
I was wondering if anyone knows if there is a way to let 7sage know the video and written answers don't match? Question 1 gives 2 referential (it and such wounds) and the video gives one (such wounds).

I think it could be super helpful if we were able to highlight when doing the skill building activities 🙂
I spent half this lesson going "huh?"
yep.
on bro
My brain started to turn off after question 3
I wanted to bang my head on my computer, but it stopped comprehending.

@AlexB33 I agree, most of the answers can be debated for longer than it would take to simply identify the theme and message of the phrase.
i think my brain had a seizure trying to do this
This was very convoluted exercise. It felt like there was no real direction on how to do it successfully.
#feedback I feel like if the explanations are done with a pen feature, we should also have the ability to mark up in that way.
@visscheradrian I agree 1000000%
buttbook
This one made my brain hurt...
love to see the albanians in the chat
Why did i bomb this??????????? I'm overthinking this way to much

Same
#real
God same
Glad its not just me
I was like "I got this" until this part lol
motion for a follow-up video to explain these (#help)
alright I have hit a wall. this is probably the hardest part this whole grammar thing for me to understand.

omg I feel the same way. hopefully it get better throughout the lessons.
same, I didn't understand this exercise and do not feel like I improved.
this was so confusing.
@leilei Right, I'm getting it but only half way
ohhh ok so I can't comprehend grammar..great LOL
@Bayside there with you! haha
i could be wrong, but i feel like referentials isnt that important
I find comfort in knowing others found this section to be difficult.
"I find comfort in knowing others found this section to be difficult, WHICH made me feel better about my confusion"
Ignoring the "which" clause:
I find comfort in knowing others found this section to be difficult [...].
Replacing "which" with its referent:
knowing others found this section to be difficult made me feel better about my confusion.
These hurt my brain!!! Can anyone else relate?
@ilovecats170+ yep this is where things start to get spicy

Yay!

You're right. It does. Can we get this reviewed by 7Sage to correct for future users?
I noticed this too.... Was hoping there would be a reply.
came here for this comment
I think you're right
You're right - that's another referential. The video explanation focuses on the word "that," but also could have pointed out "its."
sammmeee
There don't seem to be a lot of corrections when students point things out in the comments
Honestly super confused. Which makes no sense to me.
I'm with you. Im too lost here.
just one of those sections gotta skip :/
This one was a head scratcher.
