A small note that is unrelated to the width of the test interface is that on the Sept LSAT, I believe I wasn't able to highlight within the answer choices while in response masking mode and had to turn that off in order to do so, while on 7Sage, I could

I understand that A must be false, but am not sure why B could be true. We know that 1. sharks are the most resistant to cancer (I interpret this to mean they are also the least susceptible to cancer), and 2. sharks also have the highest ratio of cartilage to body mass (I interpret this to mean that they have the highest percentage of cartilage). Doesn't this mean that the organism that is most susceptible to cancer (which we know from #1 is some non-shark animal) cannot have a higher percentage of cartilage than a shark, which is a less susceptible organism? And thus B must be false? #help

I chose C and am having a hard time justifying why B is the better answer. To me I feel that the stimulus doesn't give us anything about the relationship between internal factions' disagreement on views/aims and the ability of the party to stay in power after winning, so we would have to assume that internal disagreement will threaten a party's ability to stay in power.

I actually feel like there is a little more substance to the assumption that views/aims relate to ideology; isn't an ideology essentially a unified set of ideas/beliefs/goals, which is similar to views/aims? I also know for C to be correct we have to assume at least some factional disagreements will result in an inability to reach a new ideology as a party, but that feels about as tenuous as the assumption B is making. In situations like these where there's no one clear answer and you often need to pick between 2 imperfect answer choices, I have a really hard time deciding which assumption is more reasonable. #help
