Upon first pass, I narrowed it down to A or B. I chose E, but in blind review I found the answer wrong because (1) it does not mention voting; it instead mentions public duty; and (2) the speaker is not discussing other societies: the speaker is discussing democracies. In blind review, I chose A. After analysis, the answer seemed more likely. I agree with JY. This question is difficult because it mostly supports the conclusion than restating it.

One of the best tips I have read is having a solid study schedule and sticking to it. I work Monday through Friday, 8-5, also. I am taking the LSAT in December. The first Prep Test I took I scored a 150 (promising). The second Prep Test I took I scored a 142 (disappointing). Why did my score drop? I realized I spent more time thinking of the schools I wanted to attend, the score I wanted to get, and the difficulty of the test than studying for the test and trying to conquer it. Realize the test is not invincible. You can conquer it with hard work and dedication. At the end of the day, ask yourself what you are willing to sacrifice to achieve your goal.

Next week I start my 4-month study routine. I'll list it below for you. Use it as guidance to build your schedule, or steal it if you want to.

1. Take a Prep Test on Monday (after work) and Saturday.

2. Blind Review Monday Prep Test Tuesday through Friday.

3. Blind Review Saturday Prep Test on Sunday.

4. After taking four Prep Tests separate the four test into sections.

5. Drill LR for 35 minutes on Tuesday before work; Blind Review during lunch break.

6. Drill LG for 35 Minutes on Wednesday before work; Blind Review during lunch break.

7. Drill RC for 35 Minutes on Thursday before work; Blind Review during lunch break.

8. Drill your weakest section for 35 minutes on Friday before work; Blind Review during lunch break.

9. Take a break when you need it.

10. Keep a notebook titled Positive Mental Attitude; write something to motivate you everyday.

"If you will it, Dude, it is no dream."

I rejected B for a different reason. My reasoning was who cares about open ocean lobsters? We're discussing harbor lobsters. Too, I have noticed with some weakening questions the test makers like to focus on an idea that could be easily overlooked. In this case the idea is lobsters eaten by people stated in the first sentence.
