????????????????????????????

@qw26murp662 2.5 years late to answering this question but it's a matter of looking for the careful phrasing in how the phrase 'most strongly supported' is used in the question stem if you see it.

here's how i like to tell the difference:

MSS: which one of the following is most strongly supported by the information in the stimulus

strengthen: which one of the following most strongly supports the information in the stimulus

i've been comparing myself to others for my entire life. very humbled to see that i got this one wrong

all my years as a film nerd paid off for this question :-)

why are we allowed to reverse it in E? i thought we weren't supposed to flip conditionals like that? is there a biconditional i'm not seeing?

this was a fun one:)

what a weird question

how tf am i supposed to know this

C broke me

this is not a level 3 difficulty question

this test is absolutely destroying my brain oh my God

there is literally zero difference at all i dont understand this

not the first time an LSAT question calls me out

wtf does employment have to do with anything im so confused

im absolutely losing my mind

yolanda be cool

as a total music nerd i feel so humbled rn (i got it wrong)

this was literally the hardest LSAT question i've ever seen and it's saying 100% of people who answer get this correct GTFO

thanks Hawkman :)

colleen gotta get it together man

what the hell is even going on anymore

how this is a difficulty 3 i'll never understand. thank GOD this question won't show up on test day

i finally found it. question 111.1.11. amazing.

@annapowerflower113 i'm nearly 2 years late but for necessary assumption questions, the negation test is really useful. for this situation, if it instead wasn't true that listening to music reduced stress, then we'd have no reason to believe that reducing stress lessens a person's sensitivity to pain because the only support the argument has would be destroyed

@Jean agreed
