I settled on B, but answer choice D was very tempting. JY skipped over the answer, so I am going to try and go through my thinking process when I was considering it.

I read it as though the humans built these boxes, and therefore, most of the habitats are filled with box nests rather than woody vegetation or open grassland. This would be why the common eider most commonly selects the boxed nests...because it is the prevalent option. But with that, there are too many assumptions for it to effectively explain why they choose them.

Having indoor seating would increase their success for sure. We cannot conclude though that they would probably succeed based on that alone. This is my interpretation of why C is incorrect.

The problem I have with weakening is that I look for conclusive evidence. Sure hunting weapons may not be regarded as sophisticated tools and we don't even know that this group of people made them necessarily, but it still offers the best evidence in light of the others.

So let's say there are 2 groups of people. Group A produces an average amount of cortisol and Group B produces a higher amount than Group A.

The argument states that both groups experienced a traumatic event. Group A got PTSD but Group B didn't.

So, they are assuming that, because Group B experienced the event but did not get PTSD, they now produce more cortisol as a stress response.

What answer choice B states is that, well, actually, people who produce more cortisol have a lower chance of developing PTSD from traumatic events. It switches the cause and effect around which weakens the argument.

🔢 I'm currently scoring: Low 150s

📆 My planned test date: April and/or June

📈 To study, I have been: Reading through the LSAT trainer supplemented with the 7S core curriculum, drilling, and PTs.

🔑 My goals for this group are: To hold each other accountable and share insights.

🔍 We'll focus on: Literally everything. My weak points at the moment are flaw LR and getting LG diagrams perfected. RC varies greatly but I am focusing on the LR and LG at the moment.

📚 When and what we'll do: I am open to meeting in person, over Zoom, or having a group chat.

✅ How to join: Comment below or send me a private message

I have no idea why A was an attractive answer choice and why I initially chose it over C. I have LSAT amnesia looking back at these questions sometimes lol.

Remember that this test is where a change in LR started to occur. They really mess with you on some of these questions. I am finding that to be true, especially on these main conclusion problems.

Q4 - I understand why the author would agree with this statement, but struggle to see it from Rawl's POV. Can anyone help clear this up for me? #help

C works because the seals becoming comfortable with plant-eating killer whales is a learned behavior. They are naturally terrified when they hear the chatter. Hearing an unfamiliar chatter would cause them to swim away because they do not have the learned behavior that was developed specifically for the chatter of plant-eating killer whales.

It would have to affect the development of one internal national tradition and one external national tradition. This is why E is correct.

The statement of a work not being a part of world literature if it only satisfies the requirement of affecting the development of one national tradition is correct and the passage supports this view.

A is wrong because even if Yeung is a lawyer at the company, it doesn't specify whether another lawyer at the company was told before the changes were made.

With A you have to remember that the children included with this new policy don't count as additional voters. I switched to it on blind review but see now why it is incorrect.

Practical intelligence is a skill that is not developed on its own.

If someone is always given what they want, they will not gain practical intelligence.

Answer B says that skills (practical intelligence) are learned only if needed.

This bridges the gap because the someone in the conclusion is always given what they want. So, they cannot learn practical intelligence because it is never needed but provided whenever they wish.

This was tricky because I started thinking, how do we know they will sell them to this Carol Morris lady? It is the only answer choice that will result in Azedcorp selling its shares, however.

This one is tricky bc I usually try not to pick answers that relate to other studies as a way to strengthen a study in the argument. In this case, none of the other answers really did it for me.
