I am not normally one to question the LSAT question writers, but 8 is a terrible question. Both authors explicitly state that they are teachers. I think it's fair to assume they both WERE at one point active members of the professions the discuss (more so for passage B). The context clues for "inferring" the authors are active members can just as easily point to the fact that they WERE active and now just teach
#feedback It would be great if there was some way to filter out passages (and LR questions as well) that get covered in the curriculum so you can avoid them in drills. I've unknowingly drilled both of the spotlight passages in the curriculum which, for me, makes the walkthroughs less educational especially when it comes to the answering the questions afterward
#help I eliminated B because of "intellectual controversy" and "over the consequences"
I can sort of understand how controversy = debate but I can't wrap my mind around how the debate is "over the consequences" of Darwinism. Because if the controversy is the debate about the two social theories how does that have anything to do with the "consequences" of Darwinism? The passage straight up says Darwinism doesn't directly apply so I think it's WAY overly generous to call the emergence of the social theories consequences in that way.
And if the consequences are the potential implications of Darwinism than the controversy isn't "over" them; both sides agree that there are implications for social ideology.
