For the argumentative writing section, should I be drawing from outside sources? I did one of the practice ones on LSAC and I didn't think the instruction was clear enough. And am I to argue from one of the positions that LSAC gives samples of in response to the prompt? I know everyone says its akin to a "are you a human" test but I don't want to screw up on something easy like this for some technical or simple reason.

@CrispyOats if the broadcast networks were subsidized by subscriber fees there'd be no reason to make the distinction in the 3rd sentence, and if they were the argument would make the distinction they received more or less fees.
@Danny_F tech innovation causing job loss is threat to comfort and safety, so that is the motivating principle according to A, not social inertia.
DO NOT BLOW THROUGH STUDY MATERIAL. GO SLOW, REVIEW EVERYTHING, TRACK ALL YOUR WRONG ANSWERS, PT WHEN YOU'RE CONFIDENT.
@nnkNewYork if one class of student is more likely to engage with the survey that is not the same thing as one class of student is a more representative sample. For example, lets say we have 10 dissatisfied students and 10 satisfied and 4 dissatisfied engage with the survey while 8 satisfied, that means its more likely a satisfied person engaged while not reflecting the true opinions of all students. Its a measure of how many students within the class (dissatisfied and satisfied) engage, not a measure of how many engage compared to the other. For example if 10/10 satisfied and dissatisfied students engaged, they'd both be 100% likely to engage, lets change the numbers, say there was 8 dissatisfied students and all 8 engaged, it'd still be 100% so they'd still be equally likely.
Comparatives are no longer on required to be in every RC section.
currently, currently, currently, currently. My new MO is to highlight all adverbs and adjectives. They are so important.
The assumption i made was why would someone write a "very accurate rendering of the speeches of one of the characters, but a slipshod handling of all the other parts." The only person in the answer who has such a motivation would possibly be the actor who played that character, but granted, this is a ridiculous question.
@ErnestChen same, it doesn’t specify that the seafood market the chef went to did not have farmed oysters.
@SlippinJimmy2026 a is correct because if all was required was emotion provoking situation, not emotion provoking situation + inhibiting displays of emotion then inhibiting emotion would be irrelevant
I don't get how B is right, couldn't there be an unknown natural cause that accounts for it.
The only hang up with B I have is that it leaves open the possibility that some other computer scientists do appreciate the advances which makes the conclusion true. If it said “none of the computer scientists” appreciate the advances the argument makes more sense. But alas, the answers are never perfect.
@LualArok my assumption is that they bring up those six specific examples for a reason.
I got D but believed the assumption was that the typical donut eater also applies the spreads to bring them to the four-donut calorie count.
Wow, so as I understand it "therefore a belief in extraterrestrials is false as well" is not saying the belief extraterrestrials exists is false, but rather one cannot hold a false belief.
negate b and it presupposes another explanation for the mechanism by which Alzheimer's deleterious effects come out about, therefore, B isolates the mechanism to microglia
