Claude helped me with this one. Now it makes perfect sense.

Question: The passage did not state or provide instances of public dissatisfaction. How is it supported?

Answer: Good question — the key is what "open" means in this answer choice. It doesn't mean public (as in expressed to audiences or declared in the press). It means undisguised or unconcealed — the opposite of hidden, hedged, or ambivalent dissatisfaction.

The contrast is with answer choices like D (careful neutrality), where someone masks or withholds their true view. Gilliam's dissatisfaction was "open" in the sense that he made no secret of it and it wasn't mixed with reluctance or qualification:

• He judged the work "aesthetically conservative"

• He was "impatient with its straightforward, literal approach"

• His entire artistic direction was framed as a reaction against that art — he sought a replacement "in its place"

So the passage doesn't need to show him publicly criticizing anyone. It just needs to show that his dissatisfaction was plain and unequivocal rather than concealed, tentative, or mixed — and the passage's direct statements about his impatience and his motivating rejection of that style do exactly that.

On LSAT attitude questions, this is a common trap: test the degree and character of the attitude word ("open" = frank/clear) rather than importing a stronger reading ("open" = publicly proclaimed) that the passage would then fail to support.

The conclusion is

Prevented (P) -> Difficult or Impossible to Measure (Hard)

Hard is the necessary condition to prevent. Because to prevent, you have to prevent all methods to creating high quality counterfeits, including methods that involve measuments.

This follows if there is no other process where you could interevene after an accurate measurement has been made.

If there was a process where you can interevene to prevent counterfeits after measurement has been made, then Hard is no longer a necessary condition (right side of conclusion).

Skipping to a level would be a nice feature. It would save time for students who find the first levels too easy.

Here's the easy way to see the problem. It took me some time to figure it out. Now it makes full sense.

Conclusion: Prosper -> "Look Beyond National Border"

Choice A: Prosper -> "Every Significant Influence Examined"

Choice A fills the gap:

Prosper -> Every significant influence examined -> International trade examined (which is significant) -> Look beyond national border

I would like to try!

Have you taken the foundations course? That should help build the theoretical framework necessary.

You also should ensure that you are prioritizing your health. Are you getting enough sleep? Eating healthy whole foods? Do you have the energy to study?

When you study, do you dive deep? I mean spend time staring at the questions to grasp it until it cliques? Like solving a difficult math problem with a simple solution, but takes a long time to clique.

Meditation and mindfulness is also helpful.

Best of luck!

That's amazing! What was your study approach? Did you just rely on 7Sage or any other resource? What are your most important tips? Thank you!

I live in NYC. I'm interested!

I took mine remote Saturday. Although I had fast stable fiber internet connection, I got disconnected 3-4 times. Each time I got disconnected, I had to go through check-in again.

Terry:

Some actions considered bad by society -> Favorable consequences

Good action -> Favorable consequences

Conclusion: Some actions considered bad by society -> Good action

Flaw: assuming that if "Favorable consequences" hold, "Good action" holds.

Pat:

Good action -> not Favorable conseuqnces

Actions considered bad by society -> not Favorable consequences

Conclusion: Actions considered bad by society -> Good action

Flaw is similar confusing necessary as sufficient.

Excellent. This is gold. Not only will this tip help for the LSAT, but in comprehending all texts I read. That will improve my quality of life. Thank you for making this content available!

@SofiyaBerman There are no grammar questions in the LSAT, but breaking sentences down can help with comprehension.
