I narrowed this down to D and E. I chose D because I didn't make the connection that if the number of hospital emergency facilities increased in last five years, it could mean that they're saving lives and decreasing fatalities. D is weakening the argument because it's pointing to an alternate cause of decreased fatalities. E is right because it is just supporting the premises stated in stimulus, so it's not weakening the argument. It's not an alternate cause, it's just an added support to an existing cause. Totally tricked me, but I need to pay more attention next time!

Hi all! :)

I'm new to 7Sage and wanted to get some advice from all of you. I purchased the Ultimate+ package with 6 months out to my LSAT date (July 2019). The Study Schedule generator produced a pretty intense schedule with roughly 32 hours/week of studying. When I adjusted the generator to produce a 25 hours/week schedule, it pushed out the end date to September 2019. I work full time (with some flexibility), so I'm trying to be more realistic with my schedule and study for about 20-25 hours a week.

Any advice on lessening the hour commitment per week but still getting quality content? Any advice in general for folks working full time jobs while studying? Has anyone here taken the Ultimate+ package with 6 months out until the exam.

I narrowed it down to A and B. A was tricky, because it introduced the "patients" aspect, which I had not considered. Ultimately, however, it doesn't attack the assumption because 1) it restates what's already in premise and 2) who cares if it didn't undertake to study patients? We care about attacking the assumption that just because it doesn't affect the heart, doesn't mean it can't affect some other part of your body. B is correct because it attacks this assumption.

I ended up with B and E.

Initially, I circled E because I thought that it was a counterexample by showing that some businesses who used power in socially responsible ways have lost it. That may be the case but this doesn't weaken the argument because we're assuming that these businesses used power in socially responsible ways ALL THE TIME -- which is not the case. It could be that they used it for two days then decided, NAH and turned all evil. So E does not hold up.

B is correct because it's directly weakening the argument. You don't have to really act socially responsible, you can hire someone else to make society THINK that you're acting socially responsible.
