How important is it to be critical as we read? I didn't pick up on the question that Kevin asked, but I think I would've noticed it for LR ("Are the “imported programs” mentioned in the study imported from industrialized countries or other developing countries? Presumably they’re from industrialized countries (otherwise the study is irrelevant), but I don’t know for sure.")
Isn't it fun having friends who are also studying for the LSAT so we can talk about how RC is going at public gatherings? Can you tell I live for those moments???
What's so ironic to me about this paragraph is it's the kind of writing that law professors hate in legal writing classes bc it is so unnecessarily extra lollll
Really thankful that you are making these sentences more understandable by interchanging them in more simple terms, otherwise I would have lost focus..
is "which residents often use at public gatherings as a daily journal of events and interests" modifying "television" or "oral poetry"? i always get confused about these modifiers in sentences with multiple subjects. i thought it was the latter but this explanation suggests the former is correct. i got a question wrong before solely because of this misinterpretation. were there any foundational lessons on modifiers that dealt with this specifically? will it always be the case that the modifier refers to the first/main subject? is there a rule we can apply uniformly? or does it vary depending on the sentence and context? #help

#feedback It would be helpful to include the first paragraph above the second
gah too many modifiers

When Kevin says, "Let's see what we get next" all I hear is the Law & Order, "DUN! DUN!"
def talking about game of thrones haha

How can we understand the "oral poetry" as the purpose to gossip about the drama shows in the passage?
You just know the LSAT writers felt like real menaces when they wrote this paragraph
