Originally was going to pick A, but then went with D as to me the idea of giving more scholarships out would help students which would not help resolve the argument.

It's weird how I can get Flaw questions that are much technically harder right, but yet have missed this question twice. Maybe it's the language of answer E?

A big aha moment after I tried this one was realizing that the food processed w/ gamma rays lost vitamin content while it was raw. So if raw-foods have a higher vitamin content than irradiated raw foods then the flaw described in B makes total sense.

Question 6 is definitely evil. I wish there was a little more explanation considering 56% of people apparently pick D as the wrong answer (including me). Does anyone know what line references the "ability to anticipate later artists"?

Edit: Maybe this is just an old test???

Thank you.

It is so important to know how to approach each question type exactly. Going back and reviewing the basics has significantly helped me.

I picked B, but I don't think going back I would have picked C. A psychological fact? That is a sketchy phrase.

For some reason I am getting the questions about blood , fat, and cholesterol wrong, but getting the harder questions in these MSS drills right. Very strange.

Was stuck between D and E and unfortunately chose the wrong answer. Thanks for the explanation though as I know what to look for next time and feel many mistakes could be due to overlooking a word. I realized if you aren't quite confident about what the answer is for some of the easier/medium difficulty ones, you probably are wrong.

Fell into the trap of picking B. I figured that if the controls were harder to observe that verbal communication would be good. But I realize B is too strong by saying "most valuable means".

On the harder questions I have a tendency to pick the most popular wrong answer choice consistently. It feels very frustrating being stuck often between contenders and picking the wrong one.

As someone in a different comment said, I let personal bias come into my answer choice decisions. Maybe from some personal things I went through, I didn't want to pick A as an answer even though it was a contender. So don't let bias get in the way of answer choices.

This question is so odd. If it is said that lamps were present during the Upper Paleolithic period, why would we automatically assume in answer D that fire pits were used for light? If they had lamps to light up the dark in a cave, wouldn’t it make more sense if they used a fire pit for warmth or to cook? Maybe that’s why this question is supposedly ranked at a high difficulty, their trick worked. Ultimately seeing “kinds of lamps” totally explains it and makes me feel stupid for not noticing.

Picked B, then was over thinking and picked the incorrect answer of E. I have a terrible tendency to change right answers to wrong ones and get hung up on the question....

I fell for the trap and picked A. After reviewing the question, it makes much more sense as to why it is incorrect.

I just did so badly on a practice test and got this question wrong. -5 in one LR section then -15 in the other LR section. I don't know what's wrong with me....

Great, taking the LSAT this morning, did a set of LR questions and I keep falling for the most popular wrong answers. Very annoying.

Thanks JY, I'll try to "facepalm....get with the program" as you say, even though I'm paying for your overly complex explanations. There is no need for your extra commentary. Explain why it's wrong and move on. No one needs to be made to feel worse when all of us are just trying to improve.

I'm dumb and took the difference between an outcry and a criticism too literally and picked D. I had a feeling that the most polluted cities 30 years ago could still be the most polluted today...

I picked A then switched it to E... I need to stop switching answer choices as it is leading to more incorrect changes than correct ones.

E seems like a weird issue with correlation and causation. I can understand why the answer is correct, but it is such a weak strengthening answer that it borderline doesn't even make sense when you really think of it. Again maybe overthinking just consistently plagues me.

I was staring at D thinking it could maybe be right and then for some reason went with E. Upon rereading in an untimed setting I just realized I was overthinking.

I fell into the trap and picked D :(

Hoping to be in the same boat. Congratulations.

Was tempted between B and E and chose B. I tend to pick the most popular wrong answer when split between contender and the correct choice. Very frustrating at times.
