@DannyH28 Majority owners cannot hold less than 50%. A majority of a total will always be 50%+, which is different from having "the most" in, say, a 40 30 20 10 split.

@MahiPatel111 That's right. Much like the negation of "All" is not "None" but is "Not all" which contains few, some, many, and most, the opposite of weaken is just "not weaken". The answer can be completely irrelevant, or have absolutely no effect, so long as it is not weakening the argument!

@oldguy The argument in the stimulus is not that a Virus devastated Athens. It is weakening the claim that "The cause of the epidemic that devastated Athens can be identified", or essentially, "the epidemic was Ebola".

If Ebola is significantly more contagious than the disease that devastated Athens, then the disease has been misidentified and it was a different disease that devastated Athens. That is why it weakens the argument.

@Isabella! B isn't a good strengthen answer because there's a lot of time involved in more than 500 million years before the earliest known multicellular life. More than 500 million could be 700 billion or it could be 1 trillion, no guarantee of overlap.

@ShafeenHasan I don't think so, since the conclusion at the end is about expense. I can see a version of this answer that would've weakened the answer.

@rjon27 If you are starting to get more questions correct, you're probably subconsciously recognizing these patterns which is what's helping you reason out the answer. Ultimately what's important is that you're improving!

@paligrrl Okay, so looking at it, the reason A is wrong is because of the lack of the word "primary"! Price definitely agrees that corporations have a responsibility to their shareholders, he believes it so much that he thinks it should be their primary responsibility.

Albrecht, however, says that "the corporations primary responsibility should be to [employees]", but primary responsibility does not mean only responsibility. It is entirely possible that Albrecht believes that corporations have a responsibility to their shareholders, it may just be a secondary or even tertiary responsibility.

If A read "corporations primarily have a responsibility to their share holders" then it would be correct.

Does that help? Let me know if anything was confusing :)

@BillyM_ I think it is more because it's about "outweighing comfort or safety". In this sense, if they fear job loss (correctly), than the comfort they would gain from implementing tech would not outweigh the discomfort of being unemployed and unable to support themselves, so therefore it is not just social inertia but also the real consequences of this statement being true that would be more uncomfortable and unsafe than implementing tech could save them from.

B is incorrect because there is no real tangible consequence of reluctance other than missing out on the comfort and safety tech can give, hence, social inertia mattering more.

@AliaAli if someone honks at me to back out of my spot i'd fr just put my car in park and sit there. someone is going to learn manners today and its not going to be me.

@SeanWolfe didnt even think to check until i read this lmaoooo

@shinkewski I would recommend trying not to think of it as best answer. When you get down to two, remember that only one of them can be correct, and search for what makes one of them wrong rather than right. If you can't determine a writer's sense of "best" then switch it around and do the opposite

In this question, the flaw was that the stimulus says AC is the cause of the blackout. If there was a different drain, the stimulus would've needed to say so in order for this to solve the discrepancy.

@LSATKilla87 I always read and rarely watch the videos. For one, I'd rather exercise my reading muscles as much as I can since the LSAT is so reading intensive, and I can take better notes this way.

"not now" messed me up. Even on blind review I read it as "now" which was false!

I got hung up on the fact that the small design companies were getting prestigious awards for corporate work. I didn't understand how they could be getting awarded for doing corporate work if they fail the necessary condition for getting a contract. I still don't get it.

@paligrrl These are adaptive I believe, so we all get different questions. What was the number on the side on the final review? That's how we can see the question

getting a difficulty 4 question right and then falling on my face for a difficulty 2. lol. lmao even.

@ShanR I think the rule for this type of stimulus is that they will often be implicit. LSAT writers are likely to throw in exceptions to every rule to ensure that test takers are paying attention and understanding the underlying logic rather than applying rules and hammering them in.

@TeklaCo ikr like LSAC be serious

5/5 :)) So proud of myself

Fell straight into the D trap because I thought the first sentence "universal aspect of both past and present cultures", since that was explicit. C felt so uncomfortable, but was easy to pick on blind review.

@r.wang1 I don't think so. The stimulus says nothing about labeling fMRI's one way or the other, whether it is important to label them or not is just consistent.

@StarBrooks Im also aiming for August and just got here! Slow and steady wins the race, don't worry too much about it and just worry about absorbing the information! People who speed through and don't absorb the info are going to do worse than you even if they got here three months ago :)!

@deji The Musicologist will be the Author in this case as the ":" implies that whatever comes after it is what the Musicologist is saying.

@KamrynHerrick D is a premise because it has a support relationship with the main conclusion, and has no supported relationship with any other premise in the passage.

D is restarting a premise that is a supporting fact, so while it is stated conclusively, it is not making a conclusion. It may appear like the statement "In the next 20 years, plane membership will triple", but that cannot support the statement on its own as we have no idea what the capacity of airlines is until the fact is completed.

Is the answer to all of these C coincidentally or is it on purpose to make us be really sure when we pick on the answer lol
