In a Hypothetical world, I hope they torture under the Geneva convention the author of this passage lol. I got 5/6 right but man I hate this passage so much especially in the ending.

What made me eliminate D and B is the words. Sometimes in RC, you can overlook an AC, especially in MP if it has a new word such as NEW (if there is revoultionary idea and most people do not talk about that). But here we have no support for most important since the author does not say it is the best breakthrough and the author presents a situation when ranking (third paragraph) cannot be used. AC B looks tempting but the complex is stunning since we are not saying CLS is simplying the contrdiactions or etc

@DaishaiJohnson For now yeah it is because all the other answer is wack B is bad since complex is wierd and D is out of this world because of most imporant. In rc word switch is common so for example a revoultion idea or idea that most people do not use can be new. Rc has some more holes than LR allows

A is correct because, although the flaw in my head was that it uses GM in bacteria to represent all GM (like what about human GM, it is not the same as bacteria), it represents my flaw abstractly. I looked at AC C says all GM in bacteria are random ---> gm in every other life form is random. I was like you know this is not bad, but we do not trigger the sufficient since we only from this experiment some gm in bacteria. Therefore C is tempting if you are swift. AC says either all GM are random or none are. Well we know some gm are random from the experiment which would deny the none are random and triggers the condition that all gm are random.

I see why E is right. It seems so abstract that it was bullied when it was in high school (sorry my tangent on abstract) but E matters because the conclusion is broad. It says that we can never run out of IMPORTATN RESOURCES. What if the demand for those resources never stops. Sure we get the conditional but the adjective important is the issue. It assumes that the demand for important resource will fall, but AC E shows this is not true implicity. IF biological requirments are not affected by tech, then that means the demand for it is still needed.

For E fine more boats captures more sharks because of tech, would it not still be the case that the sharks are counted on since CPUE is accounts for the catch CPUE has made. I am so lost to why E matters? I think it does not weaken at all?

Wait we are giving a weakening to the reason that the critics use to dismantle the second method? The goal below is their way ot acheive? Wouldn't A not attack their reasoning? That is why I did not choose A

Necessary Sufficient compass is what i NEED for this exam

Best way to answer questions like this is always go back

@Drew4723 You are right, in the sense that Insects comes out of nowhere since we talk about temperature increase etc. However C is correct because it connects the outside topic (insects) with a topic we discuss (temperature).

We know that right now the cold climate is cold which hinders crop pest from living near the crops. (Pretty much the cold climate is blocking insects from killing the crops).

Sure there is no statement that pest would impact the crops, but beased on the name crop insect pest, there will be a negative impact on the crops. This implication or assumption is fine since the pest are crop pest so we know they will impact the crops.

@kirkleyjay I was thinking about Epigenetics because most cells that can transfer to heart can also transfer to live but that does not mean it will activate to be both things, but I guess there are exemptions in LSAT

Once I saw this question, I was like oh wait this is Sufficient --> necessary and choose C

The question I got right, but it is not only structure but also words that matter, C shows us that the options are both available to us which we need a binary cut in our AC

@YasmaineJ Well the crime rate stayed the same it is true and we know that there was a high rate of imprisonment. B shows us that because of there imprisonment that might have stabilized the crime rate which is something the argument neglects

First time with the passage and I got all questions right. I was mad confused on this passage, but I am happy I won

@AriannaAlamo I was hesitant as well but the first paragraph talks about the documents from captins for rice cultivators and I felt yeah that is a fact and a question which is why did they grew rice follows

Not impossible but as a key thumb you always want your pt average to be hovering around the score you want

I skipped thank god, but I understand it now. I choose D but I like AC A, because we assume that the groups had no diffence that would mask the benefits. .This is how I thought of it, in numbers (which represents if V C had an effect)

The stimulus says that both groups has 50 percent of acne.

AC A shows us that both groups did not have an equal footing of acne.

If VC group has 100 percent acene, and then placebo group had 50 percent acene, if the VC group recieved acene, and now they are down to 50 percent (aka no difference in both groups acene), then yeah the VC has an affect on acene.

Control groups does not imply both groups have no differences.

Simple answers are the best one. I choose B then switched to C and felt the biggest regret. But C and B i felt were the same. Until the structure. I seen post saying that for X, Y indicates premise and conclusion, but even if this rule is true, C is not true.

The For STATES, FOR EVEN THOUGH more small modern apartments than are large V apartments, a high proportion of large V than of small modern apartments have FB.

Essentially the even though is not the premise because it is a concession. I assume it was and that is what made me choose C. But technically removing the sentence even though gives us the premise,

For a high proportion of large V than small apartment have FB (FOR Y).

These sneaky test makers.

I am happy I got this one right before Nov exam. For me after identifying the logical gap, I tend to go to AC E and then work upwards. I do not like going to each AC from A to E because sometimes it feels too slow especially once you understand the stimulus. Once I saw E I felt it was very overpowered and would defintely help our argument

@Jsonf I am in the same boat. Hope that November goes well for you

@nhooks46 I can see how AC C can be attractive because the author states that in the first sentence of the second passage. But you are right C is too narrow. I felt that the author was more on the defense on defending the oath, so I was between A and E, but choose A because the author was mainly focusing on defense 

@Jsonf I hate this question so much, because conveniently when I read D, I was like, this word shows a positive connotation. However in BR I remember we are reading it as the question says in the context of the passage. 

I had 4/5 wrong in original and 5/5 right in BR. RC you have to pick and go, like JY says while decide which AC is right your timer goes down. Go with your gut because most of the time you are right. I find that if i am talking a long time, I flag and move on. 

I was between A and D. I did not look the As-told-to, but i knew it needed to have an oral component to the answer because that is what the author was describing throughout the entire paragraph. Either that or hand gestures as described in the second paragraph. Anyway i was down between A and E and A had the artifacts which I felt odd because we discussed that in the third paragraph, but never into autobiography mentioned in the first paragraph. That made me eliminate A and choose e
