be careful of 'if' statement is MSS questions answers, if there's no conditional logic in the stimulus.

what makes AC D false is also because it affects both group, not solely the control or experimental group, so it basically does nothing to experiment.

cant believe I BR it wrong, be aware of the conditional statement, comparative statement, and extreme words like "most" when stimulus doesn't have one.

L → P

P←s→A

R→P

So we got the chain: A←s→P→L and R

thus, A←s→ L and R

AC A: A←s→L

answer A is tricky for those of who thinks about alternative causes and didn't notice the preserve population vs. valley population. I'm those people.

I was confused about "morally acceptable" and not sure if it equals to what we should or should not do. I thought the moral levels was more restrict and deeper than what we should or should not do.

the stimulus assumed that reliable safety record = passengers are safer. These two things may seem pretty similar in real life but they are not the same in LSAT. The safety record only records accidents on a plane, and passengers' safety is based on a lot of other things like weather, the pilot, the plane quality etc..

Author A agree with what what B said about preference for bold and simple characters, which is in the passage, and this aligns with author A's points. For author A to agree with B, you will have to look for what they have in common and are consistent, and the answer E can be constructed as "author's A point can be explained by author B's.....".

I think what Carl said that "such modernizing prevent student from understanding fully what the plays said" and "such modernizing" is referring to what Lyle said "such modernizing.....makes the plays accessible". There's no really other contexts here, and you know Carl is talking about whether increasing the accessibility is good or not following what he said.

Because that thing in AC A is already assumed is something that ought to be done, the contrapositive is actually "if someone did not fail to do sth (that) she promised to do, then she did not fail to do something (that) ought to be done", which is what JY said in the video that puts ought+failed.

Did not fail to do sth that ought to be done is not equal to ought to do, because the former is did not fail + ought, and the latter is ought.

looking back a simpler way to look at the gap is questioning yourself how do you the know the prescription is rarer indicates people suffer less? Are these two things equivalent? What if there're lots of people who suffer but don't get prescriptions in this country?

So to eliminate all these other variables, D says people who suffer is just as likely to get prescription as people in other countries.

I remembered there's a NA questions about raising minimum wage and the right answer is exactly what D is saying that every employee earned more than minimum wage. Does anyone know which one it is?

I chose E and looking back it's such a wrong answer. It focused on the bad social and economic policies that have nothing to do with people's diet.

i think the problem with E is it's too strict. What if there's a small portion of large dairies in the valley that meets the standard, but most of the them does not? Can you say the water it's not polluted? you cannot. But E says it's not polluted because all of the large dairies in the valley have to fail to meet the standard → polluted water.

Can we quickly eliminate AC A and B because they are prescriptive statements and choosing them would commit an is-ought fallacy?

I hesitated between A and D and chose D. I thought because due to poor economic conditions, people will have to spend their money on books about changing career, whereas that money was originally for fiction if there's not an economic conditions. But the library is not equal to book stores mentioned in the premise therefore people are not forced to choose between spending their money on either fiction or books about changing career.

I think because C explicitly says that they never tried the pills, and you are right pills may work better. But since they never try the pills, how do we know for sure that pills> BMT for them? and this uncertainty does not help weakening the argument that BMT>pills.

D i think they specify those of most likely take pills vs. BMT are those of who have the most trouble sleep. You may properly infer from this population that they tried both and found pills more effective. Thus, they are more likely to do pills.

E is similar with C, the population love BMT not because it's effective but because they don't like the pills and they never took them.

I'm confused about "one" in AC A vs. "everyone" in AC B and thought the "one" matches the "anyone" in premise better because it points to any one in a group. I see why AC A is false other than that.

interested!
