In order to prove that X causes Y you need:
1) X is correlated with Y
2) X occurs before Y
3) No third factor Z causes both X and Y
4) It isn't just a coincidence
I read the stimulus and thought that (1) was satisfied, so I was looking for the other three factors...Upon revisiting it is clear that the stimulus didn't actually establish correlation, so AC C was strengthening rather than redundant.
I find it hard to swallow that just because something is already being done "very easily" it can't be done even easier with instructions. But I guess it is just weakening.
I feel like LSAT writers make you question every single thing and then you overthink it. I can literally imagine a different question where the assumption that animal refuge = preserving natural habitat is the flaw or is an attractive wrong answer choice.
Wow I'm in exactly the same boat as you! I'm gearing up for Saturday and I just took PT 92 today as well. Honestly I'm just going to try to relax the next two days and not study at all. I feel like the benefit of resting outweighs any potential gains from studying. Personally I plan on waking up at the normal time, eating, exercising, and watching TV or something to keep my mind off the test. I just feel like a relaxed, confident mindset is key. In any case, good luck!
