No worries about the pt # @ , I'm glad we figured it out!

So I'm still working on resolve reconcile explain questions, so take this explanation with a grain of salt. But, this definitely is a tricky question. I can see how you wanted to focus on the weight gain, but to explain a paradox in a stimulus I think we can focus on either group in the comparison to explain the paradox, whether it be the group that maintained their weight or the group that gained weight in this case, even though the support given is only for the group that gained weight.

I can also see why you aren't fond of the wording of C, but I don't think it's necessary to know how likely they are to gain or lose weight, we just need to know that they weigh less-hence, "tend to be leaner" than nonsmokers. The likelihood is irrelevant and I think if it stated "less likely to gain weight" we wouldn't be able to conclude that they actually weigh less than the nonsmokers. What do you think?

This problem is tricky because of the subtly of the conclusion and not having an immediate prephrase because of the brief argument.

I think another great way to think about this problem is that the sufficient condition in the principle (if the instructions were available) is triggered in answer choice C, but the necessary condition from the stimulus (most consumers would find it much easier to put the product together) does not happen therefore answer choice C violates the principle.

PT19.S2.Q04 - scientists analyzing air bubbles

The last 3 words of the conclusion states "such as diatoms." Doesn't that only mean that some of the Antarctic algae COULD be diatoms? Or is that stating that diatoms were in fact a large portion of the Antarctic algae? I hesitated on answer choice D because if diatoms weren't the only type of Antarctic algae then this answer choice isn't as relevant. Thanks for any input.

General Logical Indicator Question

This might seem a bit silly, but in after doing the translations into lawgic exercise...do we always diagram logic whenever we see it in any LSAT question? For instance pt 27 st 1 q 17, I started reading the stem and noticed the logic and diagram quickly but then I didn't really need it. Is that a special case? Does anyone have a recommendation? Thanks!

group 3 rules pt 52 g3

Hey! So I think I'm confusing myself but the game states: Telemarketing will not be given until both Goals and Objections have been given.

then the next rule:

Negotiating will not be given until Persuasion has been given.

I thought I could make both Telemarketing and Negotiating the sufficient, negate them, then make the others the necessary...Why is that not the case?

Thanks in advance for your help!

PT25.S2.Q21 - if this parking policy is unpopular

http://classic.7sage.com/lsat_explanations/lsat-25-section-2-question-21/

Hello! This is my first time posting a question. I am having trouble understanding why e is the correct answer. Is it correct because to if it's unpopular with the teachers than we have to modify and the word modify implies adopt a new policy? So to make the students happy we should adopt a new policy? Because isn't adopting a new policy the necessary condition for it being unpopular with the students? not the teachers?
