It seems the best training you can do for the LSAT is to practice parsing sentences, looking for logical indicators and evaluating arguments. You need to be lightning fast at this. The problem is I don't want to burn through all of the PT material and little if any writing outside of LSAT prep materials is so structured. I've tried news articles, but they so rarely make any kind of argument that its really more of a drain on my time. Any suggestions where I can find some good argumentative writing out in the real world?

I also selected E. I think I was overthinking it, though. I thought the correct answer would be the one that summed up the entire passage pretty well, but nope. This type of question literally just wants the answer that restates the conclusion. It's hard...because it's easy.
The stimulus implies the pool is open before noon. If there are children under six, they are allowed to swim before noon. Why? Because everyone can swim at some time, but kids under six can't do so after noon. The correct answer choice makes the pool being open before noon conditional upon the house next to Biba's house containing a child under six. I get that it's the choice the writer chose to be the correct one, but it's totally disconnected from the stimulus. I hate saying this, but this is just one rare instance where the test writer got it wrong, probably just through careless wording, but wrong nonetheless.
