The argument concludes that magnets are effective at helping with back pain, based on the premise which describes the experiment. This is a weakening question so our job is to attack the relationship between the argument (the conclusion) and the premises that got us there. The different causes of back pain have no impact on this relationship - if anything, it's just additional context. It does not help the argument or weaken the argument in anyway, because it does nothing to the relationship between the premise (the experiment) and the conclusion (magnets help with back pain).
I hope that helps a bit!

Question 3 has both "unless" and "no" in the second premise - which group would we follow? are we supposed to do both? if so, how?

The suggestion to broaden our knowledge base confused me, because aren't we supposed to not bring in any outside knowledge when we are doing questions on the LSAT?

The last lesson ("That as object clause") explains this well. Basically, in this case "that" functions both as the object, and as the linking word for the clause that follows.

I don't understand why "vegans can obtain amino acids" is the kernel of 15.1, but "the puppies were rescued" is not the kernel of 14.2? #help
What exactly is a mediating cause? How would we define it?
