> IMO ocean water and seawater are one & the same. Sometimes you'll find the LSAT might change verbiage in this way & so you have to be a little open-minded when it comes to the AC's. It might not state verbatim the words in the stimulus; you have to make the assumption that they are synonymous, which I don't think is an unreasonable jump to make in this scenario. Hope that helps!

Yes this helps, thank you so much!!

Hi guys! Thank you all very much for the explanations - however I still seem to be having issues at the very end of the of the explanations...

So the correct answer choice (B) is "_The concentration of O-18 in the **seawater** is increased_".

And I understand everything in The 180 Bro_OVO's explanation right up until the part where it says "This is the answer in B.", because the conclusion right before this part is "_As a result, the **ocean** water has a higher level of O-18_."

I'm so sorry if I'm the only one who cant seem to grasp the logic behind this jump, but shouldn't answer choice B say "OCEAN" instead of "seawater"? What am I missing?

Thank you so so much!
