If you picked E you most likely didn't fully grasp the authors perspective.

"To fulfill that need, the core value of beneficience....should be retained, with adaptations at the oath's periphery..."

The author is not proposing a full revision of the Hippocratic Oath. Rather, they have explained that the core moral principles still remain and are equally as important today. However, slight reinterpretations can be made and have already been made in some examples (cutting for the stone & surgery)

LET THE COWS EAT GOOD

@whitneyeileenmoss

We're not worried about the effectiveness of the strategies.The last sentence is indicating that we should be looking for something that will not affect the mental freshness of the runner. 

A does this best by stating that they should not use associative strategies the day before the race. 

@CathyYao I think where you might be confused is that the way AC E is written is that "any time your drilling an oil well, its continuously discharged into the sea.

"Drilling mud, cuttings, and associated chemicals are normally released only during the drilling phase of a well's existence."

We know from Passage B that the mud/cutting/etc. are released during the drilling phase. However, we don't know if they are continuously discharged into the sea during drilling. 

Additionally, passage B states: 

"Currently only the residues of OBMs adhering to cuttings that remain after the cuttings are sieved from the drilling fluids may be discharged overboard, and then only mixtures up to a specified maximum oil content."

So we also can't assume here that the mud is being continuously discharged into sea. Only the residues of OBMs adhering to cuttings are discharged. 

POE down to A and E.

E cannot be correct because passage states:

"...ministers of African American congregations in Brooklyn had often acted as mediators between their communities and the government."

and

"Many of them also worked for major political parties and ran for political office themselves."

There is no indication provided by the author that these ministers had not been directly involved in civil rights activities.

Therefore the answer must be A.

B: a thematically organized personal narrative of one's own past

"one's own past" is what made this incorrect for me. The only other good answer was C which is also what the passage indicates. 

"For Kingston, "writer" is synonymous with "singer" or "performer" in the ancient sense of privileged keeper, transmitter, and creator of stories whose current stage of development can be frozen in print, but which continue to grow both around and from that frozen text."

"She distinguishes her "thematic" storytelling memory processes [talk-story], which sift and reconstruct the essential elements of personally remembered stories, from the memory processes of a print-oriented culture that emphasizes the retention of precise sequences of words. [written literature]"

"And even if the new employee's activities appear suspicious, there is the further problem of distinguishing trade secrets from what may be legitimately asserted as technological skills developed independently by the employee or already possessed by the new employer."

Rather than forcing their personal histories to conform to existing generic parameters, these writers have revolutionized the genre of autobiography, redrawing the boundaries of this literary form to make it more amenable to the expression of their own experiences.

The goal is to undermine the idea that these writers revolutionized the genre of autobiography. The only answer choice that does this is AC D.

If there were already authors that incorporated mixed structure and multiple authorship, the author's claim that the Latina writers revolutionized autobiographies would not hold.

Yes please but an opt out option would be great. Right now I am having difficulty because I had taken sections on lawhub that are not automatically imported into 7sage. I had to create a document of the sections i've done on lawhub and 7sage to consolidate everything.

@TalhaHashmani I was here about 2 months ago. When your read the stimulus, don't move on to the next sentence until you've understood what you just read.

We've been trained since childhood to be passive readers. You absolutely can not be a passive reader on this exam. You got this boss.

@MK2323

High-End Computers (HEC) ~ 13% profit

Low-End Computers (LEC) ~ 25% profit

Lets say HEC costs $1000 and LEC costs $100. For HEC we would be making $130 vs. LEC making $25.

Manager is concluding that to maximize profits we should sell low-end computers only but thats not true. If I had an inventory of 100 computers I could either make $2500 selling LEC only or $13000 selling HEC only.

The flaw is that you can earn a hell of a lot more profit selling HEC computers and tats what the manager is missing.

A (incorrect): The author is not making a case of the aesthetic value of anything. Rather the author is just talking about how artists have gained an interest in using old photography techniques and why.

B (incorrect): The point of the passage is not to talk about the process of creating the artistic photographs but rather why they hold aesthetic value to newer photographers.

C (correct): Yes, the authors main purpose is not to convince anyone of anything but rather to give an account of why artists are reverting back to old photography techniques.

A. Unsupported, we only know drastic shifts in climate result in migrations but we don't know what the primary cause of migration could be. It could be nuclear bombs.

B. Not all shifts in climate, only drastic shifts.

C. If drastic shifts in climate always result in migration then that means that the area has to have fairly stable climate. Otherwise, according to the stimulus, if its not stable, it will result in migrations.

D. Unsupported, we have no idea. Every place? A bit too strong too.

E. The intermingling of ideas is the necessary condition for the rapid advances in civilization. Every migration does in fact bring out intermingling of ideas but thats only the necessary condition. Just because we satisfy the necessary, doesn't mean the we have the sufficient.

Author is arguing that the tv networks advertisement won't effectively attract the sort of viewers like the program's producers favored.

You're essentially looking for something that guarantees that the producer favored ad will be more effective or equally as effective.

Main Conclusion: The choice between seeing a specialist or a general practitioner for necessary physical therapy will not affect one's chances of major improvement.

Sometimes you can attack the integrity of the study used to draw this conclusion however, keeping in mind the overall conclusion the author is making really helps in determining the right answer.

If it will not affect your chances of major improvement but like E says "specialists and general practitioners each tend to excel at treating a different type of injury", then the authors argument in the stimulus is severely weekend.

If E wasn't an answer choice, I feel like D could've been the right answer.

I've found that looking for wrong answers helps me the most in answering these types of questions correctly:

A: Author takes the opposite stance. "Civil liability is ill suited for this purpose"

B: Could make a case for this as the author mentions "corporations often assign a scapegoat" but is still weak. Does this make employees just as likely to be harmed by civil sanctions? Also the part where the author mentions this is where he is talking about critics who agree with criminal sanctions, so this wouldn't make sense anyways. (this is literally how I thought during the actual timed test)

C: This was my favorite but then I realized the portion of the passage that talks about this is purely just what theorists argue are the important features of criminal liability, not the authors.

D: More easily deterred from wrongdoing? This is what the other theorists argue but even then they say they're only "more responsive to deterrence". The author doesn't agree with this methodology either.

E: Yes this one is explicitly stated in the passage so this must be the correct answer. "...private civil litigation requires an identifiable victim..." P2

@ZThomas so this definition of qualify is the third definition of qualify on google... theres no way I'm doing this test without neuralink

Qualify.... hm. I guess you learn something new every day. Idek know what to write in my WAJ... "read the dictionary?"

@Charlie Not going to lie, the way you explained this made so much more sense to me than any other explanation I've seen. Thank you.

LSAT needs more questions about cats.

One of those questions where it really helps to read the answer choices before starting to map it out.

D is the only answer choice you can safely say has to be true without mapping anything.

If most new cars purchased last year were not from Regis Motors, you know the number of new cars purchased last year is greater than the number of new cars sold by Regis Motors.

Argument: Thompson is the best candidate because most people agree that opposition to higher taxes will make a better leader and Thompson is the only one in opposition.

B: Being opposed to higher taxes is not a sufficient condition for good leadership but what if it is a necessary condition to good leadership? For this reason, this AC would be destroyed.

C: He can have questionable opinions, but doesn't it destroy the argument?

D: This would strengthen the argument

E: This has no effect on the argument.\

A: If opposition to higher taxes isn't a factor contributing to good leadership than even if people agree it will make them a better leader, it would not matter. Therefore the politician's reasoning for why Thompson is the best person to lead this nation would not hold.

Point of dis/agreement test:

A: Don't know Liang's perspective, Sarah would partially agree.

B: Don't know Liang's perspective, Sarah would partially agree.

C: Liang would agree. Sarah has only stated that because they are able to purge themselves it should not be restricted, but we don't know how she would feel otherwise.

D: Liang would agree, Sarah would agree

E: Liang would probably agree, Sarah we don't know.

Winter = Coldest water at top

Summer = Coldest water at bottom

Change ("Turnover") = fall and late winter

Trout Found = Coldest water

Conclusion: Seek trout in shallow water (at top) when partially iced over in later winter.

My thoughts: What if "turnover" has already occurred and the trout are now in the coldest part of the lake, the bottom?

D is the only answer choice that addresses that.
