Hi! I'm planning to take the LSAT in April and would love to find people in the Denver area to study with. I will be focusing on strategy and timing. I work M-F (9-5) and am broadly available outside of those hours.
@nashwahturshin518 Same here! Sometimes I mistake a strengthen question for a weaken question and vice versa... whoops! We got this.
@mewydman445 Hi! Full disclosure, I got this question wrong. But, after reading through the passage with ac (b) in mind, I have a couple of ideas.
I agree with your point and question. By highlighting that many species, from the fruit fly to the human, have similar mechanisms for later development, the author's tone is overall surprised that polarity differs. I interpreted this from the end of paragraph 1, where the author employs the phrase "turn out to be radically different" when comparing the fruit fly and nematode, and the phrase "appear to be quite different" when comparing the fruit fly and humans. Both adjectives, combined with the phrases highlighted in bold, IMHO, imply that the findings were not expected by the author.
I originally chose (e) because my reasoning was as follows:
The traditional grounds are that leading questions are excluded from courtrooms. However, the passage highlights the dangers of leading questions being asked outside of the courtroom and altering witnesses memories. Therefore, by suggesting that leading questions should be eliminated from outside the courtroom as well, this goes against the "traditional grounds" of questions only being excluded within the courtroom.
I now understand this reasoning to be false, as the connection I drew between these two concepts does not need to be drawn (in other words, I'm overthinking it). The recent studies show the effect leading questions have on witnesses' memories (in terms of accurate courtroom testimony) and do not make any claims that the current practices of exclusion of these questions within the courtroom need to be changed, or call them into question.
Me as soon as I read this question:
@RachaelFields I did the same exact thing!
does anyone know how to see the question in its entirety before watching the video?
I got it right! Y'all have no idea the wonders this is doing for my self-esteem <3 Never give up never what!?
is it reasonable to assume that every time a stim describing an experiment does not state, "the participants were assigned into two groups" that the participants self-selected?
why is future success necessary for acquiring fundamental knowledge (fs --> afk) and not the other way around?
Based on the first 2 min of the video, should we be looking at the questions first, and then deciding between split and sequential approach? #help
