Here because I got this wrong. Don't like this question or answer choices. But here ya go:

From Powerscore:

The situation in the stimulus is that vervet monkeys use different calls depending on where predators come from. The correct answer must explain why the calls are different (again, difference versus similarity is an issue). Note that the stimulus does not contain a true paradox, just an odd situation that is presented without explanation.

Answer choice (A): This answer states that vervet monkeys vary the calls in order to indicate the number of predators, but the answer does not explain why different calls are used for land versus air predators. This answer is attractive because it shows that different calls can be used to indicate different things, but it is wrong because it does not explain the behavior of the monkeys as described in the stimulus.

Answer choice (B): This answer addresses only land-based predators and does not explain the difference described in the stimulus.

Answer choice (C): This answer states that the predators using land attacks are different from the predators using air attacks, but this information does not explain why vervet monkeys use different calls to indicate that fact.

Answer choice (D): This is the correct answer. Because vervet monkeys react to predators in different ways, they would need to know if the predator was coming by land or air. Hence, the different calls are used to tell the monkeys whether they should climb trees or dive into the foliage. Since this answer explains the behavior of vervet monkeys, this answer is correct.

Answer choice (E): The diet of selected predators of vervet monkeys is irrelevant and does not help explain why vervet monkeys use different calls depending on the direction of the attack.

In Weaken questions, attacking a cause and effect relationship almost always consists of performing one of the following tasks:

A. Find an alternate cause for the stated effect.

B. Show that even when the cause occurs, the effect does not occur.

C. Show that although the effect occurs, the cause did not occur.

D. Show that the stated relationship is in fact reversed.

E. Show a statistical problem exists with the data used to make the causal statement.

Answer choice (B): This is the correct answer. The answer choice falls into the category of “Showing a statistical problem exists with the data used to make the causal statement.” By indicating that mothers without prenatal care records are routinely classified as mothers receiving inadequate prenatal care, the answer undermines the relationship in the argument because the data used to make the conclusion is unreliable.

I got this one but... took me longer than the 1:30 you are supposed to take. This is a C & E problem. New program -> Lower dropouts.

The stimulus says kids are dropping out and going to work.. The key here is to think, well if there is unemployment in the city.... the kids are going to stay in school since there's no jobs. That is its counter.

Lobsters may HAVE gill disease but not be harmed from it. Humans eating the lobsters can get sick from easing these lobsters that HAVE gill disease but the lobsters themselves may not be sick. These lobsters are living long enough of contract it but not be sick by it... still, they are getting it from the sewage. So re-routing the sewage will help because humans can get sick from eating these lobsters that are getting the disease from the sewage. The author says the proposal is pointless. It disports your point of view. It has you thinking this is about the lobsters, but go back to the beginning and read - it talks about humans getting sick as a consequence of the sewage waters. The answer has got to tie that in.

BIG TAKEAWAY: correct answers in weaken will undermine the conclusion by showing that the conclusion fails to account for some element or possibility.

I picked D. thought "but" was a pivot and then that sentence was evidence for the conclusion.

I thought it was B.. but... maybe if you pick that then you are agreeing that correlation is causation which you are not supposed to do?

well alright, alright, alright... I ordered them correctly. Would like to know how to "attack"? or point out what the flaws are of the cat argument.

Argument = premise + conclusion

But not all arguments are the same; it is a gradient strong <-----> weak.

Since I am new I don't really know how to say something is strong or weak, but I am going to guess with the cat is that you are inferring more? Like, burden of proof in law?

The premises do support the conclusion, but it seems there could be alternatives or maybe... better premises?

I feel like premise is the "Facts" the LSAT writers are establishing... and the conclusion is the interpretation / analysis at large of the facts

I said #2 is an argument but how it was rewritten I thought that "individuals without blue eyes are far less likely to have a relative with blue eyes" was the conclusion because I thought it was supported by everything else.

I understand the difference by definition but when there comes the example like the two sentences in this video... I struggle to know which one is the premise and which one is the conclusion. To me, it seem like the conclusion is more subjective, more like the speaker's commentary in the argument?

Paying for 7Sage

Hello internet people,

I just started using 7sage. I am super picky. I did a little research on reddit about what sources are good to use. I tried to read Loophole last night and I just couldn't get into it. Started using 7sage today and I really like it. Again, that is saying something because of how picky and skeptical I am. I liked the explanation of the Spanish question (the first question they give you). I got it wrong but after the explanation I was like, oh, this question isn't even hard now that I know how to think.

So, wanting to throw this out there and see what responses I get. Who is paying for 7sage? Is it worth it? So far I am doing everything for free but I'm going to keep using this and see how it goes for a bit.

hi just starting this program. Guess I will have to learn what "infer" means because when it said E, I didn't think that it was okay to assume that more than half the students got a B... after getting it wrong I see why it is the right answer but I feel like the way it is written is bad, but I also know that is what the LSAt does, write things bad to make it hard
