Okay I might be dumb but what does “advanced” mean in this context?

I have never heard of the shallow diving method before-- I freaking love it. I genuinely don't think I would have gotten this answer correct without it. I also answered it with 11 seconds to spare. So far... I am hopeful(ish)!

@goodluckonthelsatguys is this because the premise can likely exist by itself but the conclusion needs the premise to exist?

I thought B was a given because it is true in the "real world" and not just in this stimulus which is exactly why I didn't choose it because I thought it was too obvious. How can I differentiate between assumptions I am personally making and assumptions that I am making based on the stimulus?

@CherishWilliams I don't know if this helps but I have found that reading outside of studying is super beneficial for my reading comprehension. I am genuinely never without a book- whether it is for pleasure or purely educational.

Can the LSAT just be all of these questions plz

I'm eating my words now... I guess there is a good reason for Lawgic.

@AndrewPetty I don't see the point in Lawgic. I have a great grasp on the statements/arguments already so why do I need to use algebraic symbols? IDK... I feel like it is a waste of time.

I feel like I understand these statements and arguments without using Lawgic. I guess I am struggling with understanding the point of Lawgic if I have a good grasp on the intent of an argument, do I need to spend a lot of time understanding Lawgic for the LSAT?
