This is one of the most lawyer-y questions I've seen yet

bro there's no way this question is rated as more difficult than the previous one, the bridge is so obvious in this whereas the Child Harming question had way more convoluted answer choices to potentially mislead you

I feel like a cartoon villain getting foiled yet again by the same methods repeatedly

Unfortunately for everyone who doesn't like these bizarro words: the legal profession is gonna be full of them. Almost by design.

Expand your vocabulary and English skills by just reading more advanced literature at a consistent rate, it's like a muscle, you gotta work it to grow it. Recognizing new words and figuring out their meaning through context alone is a skill anyone can learn, it's innate to humans and how we learn our own native languages as babies. You just gotta give that muscle a little extra work out for this profession.

Just the idea of privatizing national parks ragebaited me so hard that it made me lose IQ points and get the question wrong lmao

For better or worse, if you want to be a lawyer in the US/Canada then you're gonna have to know a lot of English vocabulary, it makes sense that the test is going to use these words.

Aside from the advice benely2k already gave, the only other effective strategy is to simply read more high level texts/literature and do it often. Courts and clients won't be forgiving or nice to us if we don't know what certain words mean.

Anyone who lives or has lived in Australia probably already knows this lmao, the sun there will 100% kill you in summer without protection.

Sometimes I feel like these 1 star questions don't really have much to offer since they're so easy to solve that it doesn't really trigger any "LSAT skills" to be used.

Type of question you'll get completely wrong if you just miss out one single keyword. I don't even have dyslexia or anything, but damn this must be the ringer for them lol

Many LSAT questions make sense in how they test for and train you in skills which would be relevant to law (e.g. the infamous questions regarding advertised claims of X product), but this one just feels like such a BS question and scenario, it really pisses me off to be honest. It feels like your skills are less relevant here and it's really just a matter of what assumption you think is most reasonable on grounds which are more subjective than objective, as shown by commentators here who actually acted in Shakespeare plays and drew wholly different conclusions due to relevant experience in this.

Ngl this question feels like a bit of a waste of time, for LSAT studying purposes, since anyone who remembers basic school science classes probably immediately clocked in what the answer was gonna be (natural selection etc...). I didn't really consciously think of any LSAT relevant strategies for this, my brain just jumped at the right answer because of external knowledge.

This question is the peak of "so stupid it makes you second guess yourself nonstop"

Ngl this example was kinda terrible for me because I instantly remembered them teaching us this (fish have mostly cartilage skeletons) in school biology classes lol.

The amount of times I misread the question and do the opposite of what it wants is actually making me insane. The time pressure really messes with your head in these things.

The way "guarantee" was used in this question makes me understand why companies manage to get away with dubious marketing claims in so many court cases...

They may have gotten rid of the logic games, but man they really managed to sneak in these to compensate for it huh

Old comment but I mean... if you're gonna be a lawyer, this kind of pedantry and nitpicking is literally the core of the profession lol

The ultimate "Stay humble" question daaaamn

These comments make me realize that our brains really are all wired differently. This question was super easy for me, but other questions which many people found easy completely bugged me out, funny how that goes.

@rettisrenzo729 I've gotten more than a handful of questions totally wrong just from misreading the stem ngl. It's such a stupid elementary error and I fall for it like every 10 questions

Even though I got it right, I can tell this section is going to be a bloody nightmare with trickier answer choices soon

@themoodyactivist In all seriousness, just read more books in your spare time, even if it's just fiction or romance or whatever you enjoy, but you just have to read. It's like a muscle, you just get better at it the more you do it.

@bnefacey382 I'm on the same boat, I think this kind of stuff already gets taught to you at a High School level or just life in general (if you read a lot or have any interest in science/stats/etc...) so it's fairly basic, but then again 7sage has to assume everyone is starting from zero

@Amelia_D 7sage should pay some of the commentators for these alternative explanations lol

I think interjecting some questions from past concepts would actually be another useful way of making sure certain lessons and ideas really stick to our heads, by making sure they are getting brought back up on a semi regular basis, even if the lessons covering them were "a while ago" relative to where we are on the curriculum.
