@JaredKebbell The stim states that most of Group 1 felt relief of back pain. We do not know how their back pain is caused but we do know that at least 50% or more have felt relief. I think this is the most important factor to consider with E because it was tempting for me too.

@DeliaCanDoIt! Something that helped me with this was to try the question before watching the video. You can find that feature at the top of the lesson under the tab "show question". Hope this helps!! :)

bruh the way the Q was worded threw me off so bad. using the word "resolve" made me automatically think, "how could we resolve this problem" so I picked E cause i was thinking, if the heat wave abates, then no blackout, and took the contropositive of everything... We should do lessons strictly on the wording of questions and having to decipher what their exactly asking us to do.

wait guys i took a 2 day break cause these have been KILLING me and this is the first quiz i did since... I got a 4/5 and mind you ive previously been failing these harddd. so all this to say is that if your'e on the verge of crashing out, take that break. come back refreshed and try again!

@CarlosHernandez03 its been doing that for me too... like no way am i answering these questions with a minute to spare

@MRod This was exactly my way of thinking too...

I ended up getting it correct but I was so tempted by C. The last part of the prompt states "not just for its value as an investment" and C states "she suspects it'll be highly desirable in the future". I thought that went along with the fact that Matilde shouldn't buy the antique because she is only looking at it from an investment standpoint.

i only get it after watching the explanation video and then i think i'm fine. but i see an entirely new question with new text and suddenly its gibberish again...

@jaypring thanks for clarifying!

@AnneRossPender because the word "and" indicates that both conditions but happen to meet the requirement. I think if the word "or" was chosen, as in openly or notoriously, then only one of the subjects(or both) are sufficient for the necessary claim.

i already know my biggest weakness is gonna be confusing sufficiency for necessity when there are no indicators... does anyone have any advice or ways i can do more lessons on this?

@Cee🦋 Thank you! This made so much sense.

@HudsonDuff @Laylay He said in the video that the LSAT will most likely draw the conclusion that uses the most premises, which would be the last necessary claim. However, they both are correct.

im still having a hard time determining which is the sufficient claim and which is the necessary claim. I know in a previous lesson he said that the necessary claim comes after the indicator... am i right?

I feel like question # 4contradicts what we were talking about in previous lessons. How can it be that /MP --> MC. I feel like it that were the case then the statement would be "Mesopotamian city's were the ONLY ones to not have a market place..." Because other cities could also not have market places, just like we talked about with confusing negation with opposition(opposite of hot isn't just cold). Can someone help me better understand this?

mind boggling lesson...

maybe im just tired but saying that coffee shops will have to begin selling noncoffe products OR the coffee sales will decrease, to then say that selling those noncoffee products will decrease the shoppes overall profitability is contradicting and messed me up when trying to think about this "logically".

im so confused on the difference between relative and absolute. what are the basic definitions?

I'm curious about the when we are allowed to assume things about questions. When do we know to only look at the context of the question and when to assume things about a question?

Weakest: Trash argument because it is a "hypothesis", an observation rather than proof.

Strongest: Disney, cause it is fact that Walt didn't access the pass through the premise, so the conclusion proves he had to get it another way.
