@NicoleGutierrez8234 because if wheat requires more water and couldnt survive, why would barley which requires less (hence more susceptible to decline) spike in production
french paradox refers to just about heart disease and diet high in fat
conclusion: want to be healthier drink red wine. the conclusion is not saying want to reduce heart disease drink more red wine.
because the conclusion is much broader, you can use B to weaken it. also one objection i had to it on my first go was that the ill effects of drinking red wine arent mentioned for the French. but that doesnt matter.
sometimes i ask Chat gpt for explanations because i find i can ask it dumb questions that J.Y doesnt even think about sometimes lol. I found this explanation quite helpful:
"The author’s mistake is not mainly failing to address the litter concern. The author does try to address it. The mistake is thinking that defeating the litter concern proves the much larger conclusion that development should proceed."
Might seem obvious, but upon first read i thought this was a part to whole, because i thought our author asumed that just because they are all experienced hikers, doesn't nessesarily mean that they will not litter. But thats not the crutch of the argumen, the flaw is that just because one argument against the project was made and refuted doesn't mean that the development of the trail should proceed. Aka (bases conclusion mainly that an opposing argument is weak)
Hate when J.Y brushes off answer choices as being nonsensical (C). 13% of us picked it, at least TRY to explain why its wrong other than just saying its wrong. Glad we have a written explanation for C thats good, but its way easier to see the explanation in the video format.
isnt the assumption from A and B the same:
A.) assume that ppl actually attend enough low-budget movies to recoup the costs
B.) that ppl attend low budget movies enough times to make more revenue?
A tells us about the threshold for profitability, which is disconnected from total revenue. B tells us about the number of movies being added together, which directly affects total revenue.
Hello all,
Ive been studying for the LSAT for around 6 months and am taking the August LSAT and Nov/Dec LSATs. Im testing in the high 150's with high 160's BR and am looking for some people to study with. Maybe we meet twice a week and go over questions etc. Up for anything.
P1: Good Gardening Compost--> soil draingage and fertility
/soil drainage or /fertility --> /ggc
P3: Emit strong ammonia--> /soil drainage
E.) emit strong ammonia--> /soil drainage --> /ggc
I was thrown off by the dark brown color lol. Im thinking maybe it wouldt matter, because we dont know that dark brown indicates 40-60% organic matter. Defintely using my intution that color changes which doesnt do me any good on this test
@steamboatwillie
Struggled to understand this question but heres what ive come to: C requires the assumption stated in D: that vervets use the call for some purpose.
C states only that predators can be land or air
D explains why the monkeys need separate alarms in the first place, because it serves as a way to communicate which hiding place to go to.
Sometimes two answers can support, but one does more than the other. Like on any multiple choice test. Furthermore, its asking what contributes most, not 'perfectly explains and leaves no room for doubt'
Obviously C has some merit, but D has more: If vervets have different strategies depending on wether land or air, then they need a call to distinguish which action to take.
C taken at face value: predators can only attack from air and land. I think C works if you assume that they run away after. But D states what likely your assuming for C:
"my argument for (C) is, wouldn't a fellow vervet identify the type of danger based on the call? because it's not possible that a predator is both from land and air. When a vervet say calls out a land-predator alarm, a fellow vervet is bound to know what that means, by eliminating one of the two options."
exactly what D is saying, they identify the call and run to different places. D is more descriptive than C
"Contributes to a resolution", find an AC that cannot be interpreted as ^
A.) A smaller percentage of Yeungs supporter were eligible to vote than Pantich supporters. How does this contribute to resolving the discrepancy? This widens it. I cant think of a way where A would aid in a resolution.
The rest of them can be viewed as contributing to a resoltion, despite some of them also being interpreted as not. Its not a S.A, its just contributing to a resolution, its a weaker standard
@SirHarvey The heavy studiers could still have earned higher grades than they personally would have earned had they studied less, even though their grades remained below those of stronger students.
The example in the stim doesnt give us a baseline. Thats why its not relevant to the hypothesis that the more studying increases chance of earning high grade. Furthermore the hypothesis isnt' saying studying more gives you a higher chance of getting higher grade in relation to other people, its to oneself. Which when you think about it makes complete sense, in school there were always those kids who didnt study and preformed good, and then others (me) who had to study for a lot longer and ended up doing slightly worse, but the point is, studying definitely helped me get a better grade than not.
Bro I’ve been there so many times I’ve been studying for 6 months and honestly what keeps me motivated is just reminding myself that this is a skill that for most of us is very new. It’s like anything, it takes time. My advice,which I struggle to follow a lot, is to focus on reading carefully and not letting test anxiety get in the way
Im trying to think of how i got to E over B. Maybe this helps anyone: The question is comparing two passages. Passage A doesnt mention the concession in passage B, so how is Passage A more circumspect etc. I think maybe I conflated the two.
Historical circumstances is so vauge. I could totally see this answer being wrong because they claim that its too vauge etc. I swear this test is all about luck, either you assume what the test maker assumes or your fucked. seems a little unfair. None of the other ACs are that strong, but knowing which assumptions to make is such a frustrating process that seems dangerous to make in law
@therealslimshady totally agree
