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?

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
