I can't even express how amazing 7Sage is. Without this, I would have NO chance on the LSAT. I just cannot believe how much effort has been put into this site. It is so well done. THANK YOU.
Ahhhh now that you point out the X and Y thing, I totally see why THAT is questionable reasoning. I had a hard time imagining what "reasoning" was here and didn't realize vacuous had such a strong negative connotation. This is why this curriculum is so helpful!!
I understand that answer choice B is wrong because it says "conclusion that is clearly false" but I had thought that the explanation of monogamous relationships was analogous to the explanation of altruism in the other passage. I thought that passage B was providing a another phenomenon explained by evolutionary psychology to undermine the argument in passage A by showing it doesn't make sense to use the proliferation of genes as an explanation in that analogous case. If I was doing the question, I would have eliminated based off of "conclusion that is clearly false" because it doesn't say if it's true or false (or right or wrong as said in the passage). I just don't see how these two concepts wouldn't be analogous as was said in the explanation.

VACUOUS

Man sucks that I did terrible on the last passage of the curriculum lol
I got too confident and chose D too quickly

Which PT is this passage taken from?
