I originally chose E and then switched it to A during blind review. I usually stick with my original answer unless I find something directly in the stimulus to change my answer. I hope this helps anyone who has been switching their answers last minute to the wrong one.
I was debating between A and C but went with C because I felt it addressed the reason as to why the mosaics should be left there. While I understand that all information is known about the mosaics, it is uncertain if future archaeologists will have access to the information or not (clearly stated in stimulus). I also just thought A was a mere truth claim that failed to justify WHY the mosaics should have been kept. Could someone possibly explain to me why A is correct and C is wrong? Perhaps C is wrong because it simply repeats a premise and adds no additional justification.
So most of the time if the LSAT uses the language 'evidence against' in a question stem, it means what argument or claim contradicts the original stimulus?
I really struggled with WRE questions prior to this lesson, but now I think I am starting to get it. I think what is helpful to me is to think of the 'weakens' question as something that supports the premises and provides an alternative conclusion (which may not always mean the complete opposite of the original conclusion). I then eliminate any answer choices that support the original conclusion, and then make sure the remaining answer choices address/support the premises.
I agree that C is the most plausible answer choice, however, wouldn't an actor possess a copy of Hamlet? Or perhaps maybe not, and that is merely a weak assumption.
For #10, I am assuming that because Ray first offered Charles to purchase marijuana, that constitutes the high probability that there could indeed be marijuana in the car. However, what if Charles is the exception to the rule, and truly believed the marijuana did not exist in the car? Therefore, Charles should not be charged because he did not 'knowingly' bring these substances in to the US. I guess I think the former of my arguments is less valid, and instead just assumes that Charles knew, when he could have simply been unaware of the marijuana. Did anyone else also struggle with this answer?
Hello,
I am a bit lost on how frequent I should be taking PTs. I took a diagnostic test a while back, but haven't taken one since as I am still working on the LR lessons. I have heard a lot of mixed advice on how often to take PTs, so I guess I am just wondering how often you all take PTs. Should I take a PT 2-3 times a week once I am finished with my LR lessons? Or should I begin taking them now? I also plan to take the Aug. test.
I enjoy these 'motivation breaks' and hope you place more in the LR core curriculum.
Getting it right before the suggested time :) YOU will improve as you drill! Also would recommend tapping the timer at the start of each question so you cannot see how much time has elapsed, sometimes the timer just haunts you.
