The question stem says, which of the following most logically completes the argument?

And so this is a fill-in-the-blank question and the vast majority of these are most strongly

supported questions where the blank is going to be filled with something that is supported by

what was said before. So that's what I'm expecting when I read this. We're told that a century,

that century much as someone who is nearing the end of life does toward that life. And so a century

would be like a hundred year period. So let's say we're in the 2000 to 2100 century. So far,

we're told that this is, in some ways, like a lifetime or someone's life. And as the end of

a century approaches, so as they get towards this period, people behave toward this century

much as someone who is nearing the end of life behaves towards their life. So let's keep reading

to see how this analogy works. The next line says, so, just as people in their last years

spend much time looking back on the events of their life, so as people get to the end of their

life, they look back on the events of their life, people at a century's end, blank. Well, if we're

going to complete the analogy here, we want to just have the same relationship that we were just

told about, but apply that to the century. The relationship we were just told about is as people

reach the end of their life, they look back on the events of their life. So the blank should be

filled with, as a century ends, so people at a century's end, they look back on the events of

the century. That's how to complete this analogy. They related the end of the life and then looking

back to the events of the whole life. So at the end of a century, people will look toward the

events of the overall century. They'll look back on those events. So let's take a look at

the answers now. Answer choice A says that people at the century's end will reminisce about their

reflecting on things. But what we wanted was people at a century's end will look back on the

events of the century. Looking back on the events of their own life, that's just part of the life

portion of the analogy. As people reach the end of their life, they look back on the events of

their life. Why would the analogy then complete with another statement about lives and not have

anything to do with the century? That's why A doesn't make sense. I need something about the

century if I'm going to complete the analogy. Next answer choice B says that the blank should be filled

fearing for your own life. The point that was just made about the life is as you reach the end,

you look back on the events of your life. So to make this analogous, as people reach the end of

the century, they look back on the events of the century. Anything about fear just has no place

bring. Well, no, that's out of place. Remember, if we want to complete the analogy, we just want to

make the same point that was made about the life, but this time about the century. What we were told

about what people do at the end of life was not that they look towards their next life, so it

doesn't make sense to say in this blank something about the next century. D says people at a

because that sounds close to the idea that they will look back on the events of the century. They

become interested in the history of the century that is just ending, that is this century. So D

seems to fit the best so far. What about E? People at a century's end reflect on how certain

the analogy because we were not told that people in their last years look back on unfortunate

events of their life and how they could have been avoided. So why would this blank be filled with a

new point that has nothing to do with the point that was just made about the life? So E doesn't

make sense. D is the only one that sounds anything like people at the end of a century will look back

life. Now, sometimes people don't like answer choice D because they don't like the phrase very

interested and they also don't like the phrase history. And the thing is, yeah, maybe the answer

would be more clear if it said people will look back on the events of the century. But to the

outset, that would that would make this too easy. That doesn't mean we're looking for anything

different, though. We're looking for the answer that is closest to the idea that people will look

back on the events of the century. And the idea of the history of the century encompasses the

events of the century, the things that happened in the century. Becoming very interested in the

history encompasses wanting to think about it more, wanting to look back on those events more.

So it's not exactly the same words, but the concepts are close enough, particularly if we're

looking for what most logically completes the argument. We're not in like a must be true

question or a sufficient assumption question where the logic is is 100% airtight. We're just looking

for what most logically completes the argument. And we have to complete this with something that

makes sense, given the analogy. Just because the LSAT doesn't use the exact same words

as you were expecting, doesn't make the answer wrong.
