Honestly, -8 on LR no matter the time is a big accomplishment in itself! I found that the hardest part of the test was committing to studying and not giving up, and you seem to be doing just fine on that part :) Good luck with studying and keep pushing!

I chose D and immediately crossed out E because of 'any creature', but the key word is 'that'. So it's not just 'any creature' but it's 'any creature THAT is capable of feeling pain' (in this case, a mammal is sufficient). Also replacing 'any' with 'some' in E would not provide the strong support that Jeff's conclusion needs. I should've thought as 'any' as 'if'.

I get that this question is difficult, but part of me feels like I would still try and tackle this question rather than skipping it on the test bc I'll convince myself that it's doable. Is there a better way to determine which questions I should be skipping on test day? #help
