does this question not have any video explanation?

@FlorenceYang are you still on foundations or were you just drilling?

3/5 & my timing was really ass

2/5 - the first question was SO damn difficult, I spent like 20 mins on it. Timing on others was ok, but damn did the first one trip me up.

0/3 ugh. moved too fast

I mapped the chain out perfectly but idk what prompted me to pick the wrong answer despite that. Ugh.

4/5 phew. Big improvement for me from my 1s and 2s out of 5. Since I am early on, I am giving myself a lot of time to work through these - as much as I need bc I am early on and I care more about reinforcing the concepts. Getting timing right will come later in my journey.

@HenryLehmann your way of thinking almost adds a modifier, which makes it so much easier to follow. Thanks!

For those unable to get q5, I asked Sage AI and I really liked it's response:

Let's break down Question 5 from the Comparatives 2 lesson!

This one is a bit tricky because one of the things being compared is actually "invisible" in the sentence.

The Sentence: "At least 59 percent of households maintained a lower indoor temperature than they had been accustomed to maintain on very cold days."

1. Things being compared: What households do now vs. what they used to do(what they were "accustomed to"). The word "now" isn't explicitly written in the sentence, but it's implied. The sentence is comparing their current habit ("maintained") to their past habit ("had been accustomed to").

2. Quality being compared: Which one is a lower indoor temperature.

3. The "Winner": What they do now. In this comparison, their current temperature is the one that gets the label of being "lower."

What about the rest of the sentence? The phrase "At least 59 percent of households" at the beginning just tells us who this comparison applies to. The phrase "on very cold days" at the end just sets the scene. It means we are specifically comparing the temperature they keep now on freezing days to the temperature they used to keep on freezing days.

The big takeaway here is that the LSAT will sometimes compare something explicitly stated to something implied. When a sentence compares a past habit to a current action, you have to use those context clues to spot the "invisible" side of the comparison!

2/5 :(

@CyndelDalzon552 honestly feel u

3/5, got the first two wrong. they really tripped me up bc they ask about the flaw in the argument / what the argument overlooks, which is hard to decipher bc I feel I only know how to find an answer based on what is already given in the text of the question..

2/3 - the second question tripped me up, I knew it'd be A or E but I picked A

@JasmineGuerra u gotta trust urself girly

@JasmineGuerra literally same

@unknown Same!!
