In my opinion this is such a badly written question. I didn't select the right answer because after reading the stimulus, I didn't see how the usage/function of taste buds could be a partial explanation AT ALL! A tool can be invented for a certain purpose, but come on, our taste buds weren't invented??! How could our usage of them explain why they exist? I think rather than E, the real flaw should be that the author has made a really bad analogy between physiological parts and tools.
Help! If answer E says "takes for granted that the beliefs we need in order to survive must all be correct beliefs", would this be an alternative correct answer?
I'm still confused by why B is correct for the following reason: refraining from unethical behavior is different from performing a notably ethical action, but the latter seems to be sufficient for the former...
IMO the latter is more ethical. If meeting high ethical standards sets a bar as low as only "refraining from unethical behavior", then performing a notably ethical action is clearly sufficient for it to be qualified as "meeting high ethical standards". Therefore, I do not see how the conclusion is weakened.
Am I making a false assumption here?
I did this one correctly but for the wrong reason, I guess.
I thought that the meaning of "other industries in our region" is quite vague, and road building and manufacturing belongs clearly to only one industry. So it doesn't suffice to say that the company has invested, especially significantly, in other industries.
@JulianReed_57 I fell for A because I thought there is a causal link：it is “write the column → readers pleased” instead of “Please readers → write the column”. As a result, Roehmer might still care about her column being alienating... How can I rule this out?
But isn't the premise of the stimulus "her column is just an attempt to please her loyal readers", and the conclusion "that is likely not a problem for Roehmer"? If so, I don't see any flaw there... If one writes to please their own readers, we could conclude that they don't care if what they write cause further division between their readers and other people. How is there a flaw?
For those struggling between b and c, here's how I understand it now:
b - the key to rule out b is "there is no practical difference". The stimulus only says the difference between resolution is irrelevant to the practical aspect of photography, not that there is no practical difference among modern cameras by virtue of their image qualities. The two cameras can still produce images of different qualities, not in terms of the degree of detail, but something else.
Hi everyone!
I took my first LSAT this month and received a 158, which is 7 points below my average PT score. I actually felt I had bombed the test as soon as I finished it, so the result wasn't too surprising...
In hindsight, I probably didn't prepare it in the best way. I was short on time and ended up taking seven full PrepTests in the ten days leading up to the exam, which may have contributed to burnout and underperformance. My highest PT score was a 171, and the 158 is lower than every PT score on record.
My dream schools are in the T6, and I'm planning to retake in August. Given this context, would you recommend canceling the 158 or keeping it?
I'd really appreciate any advice - thanks so much in advance! :)
Who immediately thought of burial goods when they read "burial sites" in D? Is this a mistake others from east Asian culture also make or is it just me...?
