Although I chose the correct answer, I do not understand the explanation for why "B" is wrong. By my reasoning, it was wrong for a completely different reason.
I chose E because it seemed the most clear answer but i was tempted by C because even though it says E the other way around, i was thinking its saying the same thing; the same way i am older than you and you are younger than me are the same, why cant C also be correct because it is saying the same thing as E the other way around. Why would I assume what I think of other people is different from what others think of me?
Question for a 7Sage instructor (but happy to have input from others as well!):
7Sage keeps referencing "cultivating habits" like fleshing out referentials, setting aside modifiers to see the passage's core structure, identifying what is being compared, how it is being compares, and which thing wins in comparisons, but I'm unsure of which habits/exercises, if any, you actually want us to be doing on paper as we work through questions in the hopes of getting the right answer.
In other words, can you please explicitly share with us what we should be writing down when we answer these questions? I want to know because, of course, in a perfect non-time-constrained world, we would embrace all of these habits by fleshing out every passage's complexity in every possible way. And maybe, in the beginning, you would like us to? But it is helpful for me to hear whether any of these exercises/habits are actually worthwhile (time-wise) to be jotting down on test day.
Everyone thinks/works differently so I understand that is difficult to broadly advise us, but please let me know of your thoughts. Thank you so much!!
I need to do a better job in analyzing the answer prompts. I was able to extract the proper meaning out of the comparative claims in the question but failed to see the intricacies of the language used in B and C to be able to better differentiate it from the correct answer in E
I am not sure if I am doing this correct, but finding the conclusion, and reading the statements in the paragraphs, helped me get the right answer (because the right answer also supported the conclusion) Idk if that makes any sense or I'm just simply doing crazy at this point lol.
I’m very happy I got this question right but I was well over the suggested timing it should have taken to answer this question. I’m not discouraged about the time I know I have to work on this skill before I can speed up.
Could we say that answer choice B is implied by the passage at all, or is it fully wrong and not even implied?
I thought that answer choice B is implied by the passage, but answer choice E is much more strongly implied, making E the correct choice. I believe that B is implied mostly by the third example, where it explicitly says that a small fraction of the people in the room noticed the shirt. This small fraction is not in comparison to the student's expectations, making it possible that answer choice B could be implied in saying that people "tend not to notice."
Never thought my psychology class would come in handy here. Thanks to the girl who did a whole presentation in a really wild t-shirt then pointed out at the end that none of us noticed lol.
I am really stressed by the timing element of the drill! I got the answer right in the blind review because I rushed to get an answer as quickly as I could! frustrating....
Before reading the answers I noticed that all of the scenerios relate to someone overthinking a perceived flaw internally and thinking everyone else can notice the insecurity or internal thought. However, the researchers found that most people who interacted with the subject did not notice to the extent that the subject thought they would.
A. Incorrect because every scenario outlined illustrates the subject internalizing something or overthinking. This would be the correct answer if the person were completely unaware of their actions.
B. Incorrect. "People tend to" is overly inclusive of people's ability to notice appearance. There isn't any direct argument being made in the passage. It is 3 separate scenerios that illustrate a braoder point.
C. Incorrect. The passage doesn't discuss how often the subject notices the behavior of others.
D. Incorrect. Too all encompassing with the "Necessary" only if phrase. People may still notice someone's appearance without the subject drawing attention to it.
E. Correct. This answer is the best answer to describe the three scenarios illustrated in the passage.
I feel like I always forget a word in the actual stimulus that could change the entire answer choice.

As soon as I saw the "that," I was able to piece together the answer. Understanding the referentials made this so easy.

PS also went over the time suggested :(
I think there is a typo at the end of B. But it is making an absolute claim, correct?
I think at this stage getting the right answer is far more important than the speed. It means that at least we're making our way to the answer.
I got it correct, but so far over the time. I cant read and comprehend fast enough :(
1:33 over, but I got it right! Need to stop questioning myself on answers
27s over but got it right ... B almost tripped me up!
Yayyy! I got it right!
I’m very happy I got this question right but I was well over the suggested timing it should have taken to answer this question. I’m not discouraged about the time I know I have to work on this skill before I can speed up.
Somehow, I got this question right... That was something!
I'm doing ok on the LSAT questions, but I'm always over the suggested time. I feel not good about this
i had the right answer and second guessed myself and changed it..... i hate myself
volume on this video is very low.
LSAT ASMR

What kind of question is this? Would it be Most strongly supported?
I somehow got the right answer!
