If you miss the referential phrasing (BEHAVIOR = associate certain facial expressions w certain basic emotions) you're dead in the water. UGH
There's less assumption with AC B. The stimulus says that when doctors regard medicine as a science rather than an art, the result is less compassion. And then it elaborates further: treat patients rudely, discourage questions, patronize them. Then the last sentence in the stimulus states that economic incentives encourage doctors to treat patients rudely - an example of less compassion which is a result of regarding medicine as a science rather than an art. AC B literally fills in the gap between regarding medicine as a science rather than an art and economic incentives.
I know there's only 1 right answer and LSAT vets these questions. But every now and then - and it's always with the level 5 questions...smh.
I thought this was a FLAW question. The explanation makes it seem more like an ASSUMPTION question. SMH.
TRASH. The economists said that decreasing the price of any product stimulates the demand for that product. That's the principle. If the demand for the domestic wine increased after the wine merchants decreased the price, then what the hell is there to reconcile? The outcome was as intuitively expected. Kick rocks LSAT.
This is a VERY tricky question - specifically the super SUBTLE but significant difference between answer choices D and E. Great explanation, though. Thank you.
In order to pick AC A, you have to make assumptions: 1) that the native salmon also split into two distinct populations and 2) AC A is implying that the shallow sockeye aren't interbreeding with the deep native and the deep sockeye aren't interbreeding with the shallow native.
I know there can only be 1 correct answer and that the ACs are heavily vetted. At the same time, some questions/answers are whack. Respectfully.
The explanation TOTALLY turns on the correlation/causation light bulb! Thank you!
@AndBac it asked conclude the last paragraph of the passage - it didn't say conclude the passage. I agree - I was focused on an answer choice that supported the paragraph first.
@esoriano the stimulus says Taychester is ALWAYS at least 10 degrees cooler than Charlesville. So who cares if the temps in Charlesville drop to 0 degrees? Taychester will be colder than at least -10 degrees. Yeah, the residents of Charlesville are turning their heaters on because it's cold - but so are the residents of Taychester because it's at least 10 degrees colder. Make sense? This was the 3rd section of the PT -brain fatigue is a REAL thing.
SMH. In what lifetime does blocking out a portion of the sun make people feel SECURE? Who equates polluting to risk-taking? HORSESHIT QUESTION.
@al3x15 you have to build your skill set up to the point where you can eliminate FOR SURE WRONG answers like B, C, and D just by reading them. That leaves you with A and E. Then you have to avoid the time trap. Make your best guess, flag it, and if there's time, come back. But if you couldn't eliminate B, C, and D just by reading them, then there's room for development in the skill set.
Read this stimulus and you can immediately identify 3 factors: A = Lucinda, B = engineering major, and C = residents in WH. Immediately you map out the relationship these factors have:
A ---> B
C ---> B
A ---> C (here's the flaw)
Answer choice B has 4 factors: GONE
Answer choice C has 3 factors in one relationship: GONE
At this point you should be able to look at answer choice D and know it doesn't fit either.
To answer this question in less than 4 minutes when it's at the END of a LR section is WILD. Guess between what's left, flag it, and revisit anything you've flagged prior to question 11 - you have a much better chance of recovering points there. If you still have time to come back to this one - good for you. Hope that helped.
AC C literally says NOTHING about long-term. smh.
