I eliminated (B) because of the word "undomesticated". I still don't really get the answer to this question. Think I'm just gonna move on and accept I will never understand this one.
I got messed up on this question because I didn't read (A) carefully enough and so thought it was referring to the state of affairs on which the critic's criticism was conditioned.
I got this wrong initially, but got it right on BR by figuring that (B) is supported best by the statement that "acto became the quintessential form of Chicano theater in the 1960s", and we know there is comedy involved in actos.
Got this wrong because I misread (A) as talking about actos instead of carpas.
I got this right, but I think it's a badly written question/AC. There is no connection established between the type of room and the number of people in the room. For example, even if a room is private, are we sure that means it's only one person per room? And are we sure that semi-private necessarily means more than one patient per room? Why could there not be typically more than one patient in a private room?
Some might say this is reading too deeply, but as we all know the LSAT expects us to take everything we read very literally.
One key thing from Kevin's explanation that made me realize why I got this wrong:
The reason D is wrong but B is right is because D claims there is "no evidence" while B says "fails to establish." The author does provide evidence that the goals were not overambitious (the fact they were quickly achieved), so D is descriptively inaccurate. However proving that something is "not established" is a less text-dependent task, and so that's why B is correct.
An additional reason for B is GREAT suffering vs. NO suffering. The critics claim the party caused great suffering, the author instead jumps to a more extreme conclusion that they caused NO suffering. I didn't catch this.
Personally I kind of take issue with the idea that achieving goals quickly counts as valid evidence that those goals were not overambitious, but at any rate the above were the reasons that made me realize the correct answer.
I'm 235 questions into my studying and this is the most WTF-inducing one I've seen yet. I think this is the only question where I just had to straight up guess because none of the answers seemed remotely on target to me.
I didn't pick (C) because of the word "discarded." That implied to me that they DIDN'T keep the teeth in a place like their campsite, and so the archaeologists wouldn't have found them there.
But reading again, I guess whether they discarded them doesn't matter, as the first part of (C) does mention that they saved them, therefore it would make sense for them to have teeth from a year ago.
I think this is a badly written question, but just for reference below is how I figured this correctly on my first try:
Levin gives two examples: when a car is in traffic and when a car is at a stoplight. You can infer from this that Levin is considering the stoplight to be the more extreme of the two examples, so therefore it applies to the more extreme example of no pollutants at all, while the traffic example is more analogous to the low level emitting.
But yes, while reading this question I did think "but cars still emit when stopped at stoplights?" and so think it's a bad question.
My issue with this question is that if A is wrong because "all descriptions" is too broad beyond horror, then E should also be wrong because "some stories" seems clearly broader than specifically horror... Doesn't seem fair.
So I started a study plan at at the beginning of this month, with my test date on Oct. 10. I'm budgeting 7 hours/week of studying on 7Sage (I realize this is less time than what's recommended to prep for the LSAT, but it's what I can commit to).
7Sage put me in the "Minimal" study plan path, with 3 weeks of lessons and 5 weeks of practice.
I just spent the last 11 days going through the LR fast track, in accordance with the study plan. Then I moved onto RC, but to my surprise the RC section in my study plan is only 2 hours, with a full six days of nothing to study before I'm supposed to start Practice on Aug 25....
I realize I can go through any lesson in the lesson library at any time - so my question is, what do people recommend I study for the next week or so until my practice is supposed to start? All I've gone through is the LR fast track vids and The 7Sage RC Method. FYI, I'm also reading through the LSAT Trainer right now.
I got this right, but solely through POE. I didn’t really understand (A) at all or what it had to do with anything, but it was the only answer standing after I eliminated everything else, and I couldn’t find anything glaringly wrong with it.
