When I got down to (C) and (E) I was definitely blanking trying to figure out why one was wrong and the other right. But then I remembered what the L in LSAT stands for and immediately figured it out lol. Got -0 on this passage. If only all LSAT passages were about the L in LSAT, sighs. I guess most us will be in school for it soon enough in any case lol.
I originally chose C but ruled it out because I thought the word "discontinued" implied that they were never going to practice the tradition again, which is not what was going to happen in the otter situation. But I get why it's right now.
I don’t understand this explanation..the ac says the animals left due to industrial development it doesn’t say the natives were prevented from using the herd animals because of industrial development? I interpreted like they weren’t used because they simply werent available in the area anymore because the habitat was destroyed by buildings etc? Surely they could have gone else where to get the animals they needed? I don’t see how we can jump to them being “prevented” just because they weren’t available in the area anymore? i don’t see how this is analogous to the situation in the passage in which an actual law was preventing the use of the otters…can you explain further how this is an example of “traditional” based on the passage? #help
The other big thing about answer choice E that made me eliminate it is that a few elders practicing the tradition means it's still within "living memory", and the 1991 court case is arguing precisely against that sort of restriction, so it isn't really helping to demonstrate the proper application in the first place.
i went into this passage so confident and completely bombed it LOL

I don't mind picking the wrong answer in the more difficult questions. I do mind when I'm among the [checks notes] 3% who did so.

I got this wrong because I did not understand the implications of what the paragraph was ACTUALLY saying altogether.
