@IsabellaErgh I'm seeing this exactly as you are.

@Samantha Finjap the first sentence felt like context to me, not a premise.

I picked E, and I was torn between A and E. Now I get it, but man I feel like I'm just not getting this stuff. My gut told me A at first, but as always went for the wrong answer

@aliegeaksu I see it the same way as you. I thought there was no argument there. What's the author trying to convince of or persuade us to believe? That he/she went ahead with surgery?

@JessDavis I'm in the same boat as you and Beccalina. Although I don't have kids I work full time as a tax CPA and am also planning to take the LSAT early 2027. I'm 51 and I've been wanting this for a long time. I hope when they say it's never too late, they're right! Cheers, Sal
