I'm going through my own individualized study plan (because I sat for the LSAT last year) and I appreciate the option to drill the questions before watching these fast track videos!
3/4... Q3 was a bit confusing for me but I think I just need to slow down
I had to look up what a presupposition was but got this question right!
@ShinyLoser I think you can preview (sneak peak) whether or not you got it right the first time and then decide to blind review if you guessed and or got it wrong?
@LilyMelendez I was literally thinking the same thing!
I looked it up, and apparently, concessions are an admission of a valid point that the 'other side' makes before you pivot to your rebuttal. So, in a way, they work together. However, they are not the same thing.
Most people believe that San Diego has beautiful weather year-round. However, during the months of May and June, one can expect the weather to be gloomy. Therefore, this widespread belief is an exaggeration.
I think as soon as I understood the invalid formal argument form of most before most:
A -m-> B -m-> C
____________
A -m-> C
It became 10x easier to find the same reasoning in the answer choices.
Took me 1-2 minutes!
I went about it this way ...
medicine:
ethical -> when nonuse would be sig more harmful than its use
gov intervention
justified -> when non-gov intervention would be sig more harmful than intervening (AKA answer D)
hope this helps?
E was attractive but the use of ONLY was a flag. So, I was confident in my choice of B.
I almost chose E, but I recognized that green carnations being difficult to grow was a sub-conclusion, not the actual conclusion!!
@goodluckonthelsatguys yesss. I think once you can pinpoint what the conclusion is, it becomes simple to understand what the premise is.
gonna hop on the bandwagon and also suggest this be a video :(
I chose D but B was the last answer choice I crossed out before choosing D. B was enticing but the word "counterexample" didn't fit because the author wasn't necessarily providing a counterexample (aka another causal phenomenon) they were just providing an alternative hypothesis/explanation.
ugh, I ended up choosing answer choice D... I had a feeling that C could have been the correct answer because I also had an inkling that other civilizations near Egypt would have been impacted by climate change but for some reason I thought choosing this answer would be irrelevant. I guess I should have gone with my gut.
