This one had me thinking harder than the other ones!

Ive been doing this as well!

where I went wrong with this is I thought "best expresses main point of musicologists reasoning" genuinely was referring to what the musicololgist's conclusion was vs THE main conclusion.

This wording, and what the correct answer ended up being makes me think the answer is really always going to concern the MAIN CONCLUSION no matter how the question is worded. is that a fair assumption?

I generally do NOT have issues identifying the conclusion. But it doesn't make sense to me that the conclusion is not the last sentence and that the sentence before is not the premise. Is it because my suspected premise can stand alone- without that last sentence?

EDIT- I posted too soon. He then revealed the rest of the stimulations

Does it matter for the LSAT if you mix up modifiers and predicates? I can't seem to unmix those things!!!

does this rule also apply with strengthening?

very confused why the answer is C and not A

#help

oh, I see what I did incorrectly. The mammals were so large that when they migrated to more mild climates (to escape the ice age) they couldn't walk fast enough

Who else answered B?? When I looked at the correct answer choice I felt like it was incorrect because he didn't mention the cold and he used the term "milder" to describe the weather when I would not consider an ice age "mild." The ice age is described as "dramatic" and "harsh" but in the correct answer choice its being described as mild?? please help me process this

Said in another way for 4.1

If we live in a world where X (premise) is true, would that support the proposed course of action that Y (conclusion) works?

would that be fair to say?
