Got over confident and misread/skimmed question 8. I thought it was asking about why the workers left. You have to be really careful going into auto pilot mode and skimming Question stems in RC.

Yikes, I was confused why none of these answer choices seemed wrong to me then I realized I misinterpreted/skimmed B as saying the feet are on the ground like the stimulus said :(

I am not exactly sure what you mean by the subjunctive form , but here is my explanation to your question with LSAT/Core Curriculum terminology. The word "if" is known as a sufficient indicator on the LSAT, or in other words, it is enough to trigger some necessary condition. So what you have is a conditional statement that can be put in the "if-then" form. Conditional statements are hypotheticals, one of the ideas needs to be triggered in order to infer something. For instance, the sentence you provided can be broken into the conditional : "IF Arun is in the next room(NR) THEN I would not be able to see(S) Arun" or symbolically as NR -> /S . Sufficient ideas are always on the left side of the arrow. This sentence has the sufficient idea later on in this sentence, but the rule still applies with the sufficient idea being on the left side of the arrow and the necessary idea being on the right. Later in the curriculum you'll realize this sentence expresses an idea identical to that of a "not both" rule in logic games. What that means is both things cannot happen at the same time. So if I told you Arun is in the next room, you can infer that he was not seen based off the conditional provided. Hope this helped.

My approach was I just read the listed pesticides as A, B , and C respectively. No need to get caught up on the details. Also , but I am not sure, I think this question is testing your ability to differentiate absolutes from relatives. Only A and D have the idea of a comparative(more/less harmful) whereas the others are absolutes. (harmful)

I really find it helpful reading embedded clauses or sentences within commas after I have read the main core of a sentence. In this question the ",with pictorial help rather than exclusively through prose," breaks the whole flow of the sentence and confused me. Things are more clear when I remove it and now I understand why E is correct. I chose B initially because of that confusion and now I see how much of a trap it was.

I think this question is testing your ability to read around what you know. LSAC knows most people do not know what the hell nonvirulent is and hides the correct ANC with it, but if you just read around ANC E and notice it is qualifying the kind of bacteria found, then you can just rephrase it as "this type of bacteria growth is stopped by salmonella" and the ANC + facts given make sense.

Wow I chose E , but could not understand why B was wrong in BR. The mix of probably as a premise trapped me into thinking it was the conclusion. You must understand the role of each statement in relation to the other statements in the stimulus, noted 🤝

I have to read more carefully. I misread "longest" as "longer" and thought there was a paradox and chose E confidently. :(

Wow the logic of this question left me dumbfounded. Completely overlooked the possibilities of varying entries per day. These test-writers are good man. Noted!
