I read and understood this problem differently and would appreciate some insight. Especially some help in thinking about this for future problems.

I read it as: N probably preserved meat by smoking it because some N fireplaces had burnt lichen and grass and they produce a lot of smoke (not as much heat and light as a wood fire, but still a lot of smoke)

I didn’t read the conclusion as the fires were created with the intention of smoking meat. That is why I thought B strengthened the argument.

Even reading the other explanations I still don’t get it. If there were no other/better options for heat or light it still doesn’t mean they didn’t preserve their meat by smoking it because it still smokes a lot. They could’ve used fires for multiple reasons

This passage on Miles Davis had a lot of details. How can you track structure when there is so much detail?

I try to not get bogged in details, but it seems important in this passage particularly to be aware of the details.

I’m having difficulty reading for structure, but also being cognizant of the details. If we are supposed to read for structure, then how are we supposed to attack these general inference questions? I understand why it’s right during review, but I don’t understand how I can efficiently attack it under timed conditions. The section it is mentioned in does not relate to the general structure so I did not focus on the detail and I know these types of questions will repeat so I want to make sure I understand the strategy. Thanks in advance!

Reading Comp Strategy

Hi everyone! I’m retaking the LSAT and reading comp is by far my hardest section to improve on. I used the 7 sage curriculum and in the process developed my own strategy. I wanted to share to see if it’s helpful or if I’m doing this all wrong.

I basically read each paragraph and underline the main idea in each paragraph before moving to the next. At the end I do a quick scan of all the underlined main ideas.

I find it’s helpful to do this in order to track the general thread in the passage and I can do the low resolution summaries in my head.

Is this wasting time and I should eventually do it in my head?
