Tricky question, I for some reason was in Flawed Argument mode and was like "Part to Whole / Whole to Part" flaw and forgot about the NA mission loool.
I will absolutely hate this game called the LSAT but I agree the smarter thing is to navigate it. I will hate it while learning to navigate it the best! Thank you :")
Photosynthesis is intensified with CO2.
Burning fossil fuels intensify CO2.
Burning fossil fuels are purely great!
Nothing in life is purely great lol and definitely not in regards to burning fossil fuel.
A – cookie cutter wrong AC – contains a comparative when the stimulus does not.
B – Only chose this because the others were bad. The harm of exercise and burning fossil fuels didn’t seem comparable to me ugh but nevertheless, it says only good comes from exercise, which is not true. People get severely injured from exercise all the time.
C – It hints at how fasting could be beneficial, but doesn’t state that fasting is beneficial all the time.
– This is the cookie-cutter wrong AC that’s totally irrelevant.
D – cookie cutter wrong AC – contains a comparative. In addition, when you compare two things (A and B) and you say that B is horrible. That’s not saying that A is amazing. It’s just saying A is better than B. We’re looking for an AC that says that A is always the best.
E – Too much penicillin is bad. So make a policy where we avoid using penicillin. Mm.. If it said “not using penicillin is always good,” it may have worked, but the “best policy” idea makes it descriptively inaccurate..
I had this one right during timed and I changed during BR. smh smh smh.
I didn't even get this on the deep level JY did but I just saw the word likely in the stimulus and the word frequency in the AC C and I was sold.
I knew C was the right one, but A just seemed like the most logical thing to chose lol.
C just seemed way too easy for me and I went with B during BR lmaooo
Note to self, the scientific community does not = all scientists.
I did not by any means associate chief influence as a level of influence. Jesus
Dammit I had this right and during BR I completely misread the q stem.
I completely misunderstood the conclusion, I thought that the critics were like "told you so, it was more expensive but whatever we got rid of it." type thing. E is so obviously the answer... I'm fried, I did like 10 of these today
I understood what they were trying to do but they language is so awful
Dude fuck this AC: C. I had this right first time around but during BR I was like tf is C even trying to say?
What the fudge... the writers are so WRONG for doing us like that on AC:D.
I just did not want to deal with this one. Picked my best guess and moved on. The video explanation proved MY Method Of Reasoning to be correct cause holy hell the word choice on AC:D was "telling" about the damn LSAT writers.
I completely missed the the idea that "The theories produce the right results" were the same theories as the successful ones. I read it as "The theories THAT produce the right results" leading me to think they were a different set of theories.
A few reasons I missed this one, IMO at least. 1. I have never come across a phrase that limits the scope on an argument to the part of a problem so although it made obvious sense to me that the phrase was doing that, it seemed like a junk answer. To me it was just setting up the conclusion much like a premise would so I went with AC:D. 2. AC:D I thought meant expressing the conclusion, not WAS/IS the conclusion. Ehh, these AP questions are different, but I enjoy dissecting these arguments.
completely overlooked the idea of retention mentioned in the stimulus. I thought retained meant obtained as in recently obtained. Either way the presumption in AC:B that Plankton aren't fish is shitty considering no outside context is to be used.
Chose AC:D under the time and did not even like it because of the effin word within. During BR I realized the difference between within and after lol.
Not sure if I am doing January or Feb LSAT just yet, but if you get a group going count me in!
I didn't even get this one right, but when I was trying to parse through it I got rid of the context by identifying the conclusion first. That left me with the middle sentences/section as my premise and since it's SA we know it's missing a premise, thus realizing the top part had nothing to do with the conclusion.
I was between A and E. I didn't pick up that E implied that the economic help came after the mentioned timeline so I went with A. My reasoning for A was okay maybe there was a boom with England and Scotland, but not particularly in Glasgow?? lol.
