I read B to imply to attack the premise about him being in the painting. If him being in the painting is evidence that he painted it because he's a real person, there's a sht ton of other real people in the painting, doesn't that mean any of them could have painted it too? I thought it made his appearance in the painting seem insignificant.

That's how i chose D as well. The "but..." is inconsistent with his advocacy for the greenhouse theory.

Though I hate the phrase "psychological fact", because the argument clearly concedes that the correlation is not universal, couldn't bring myself to select A.

Still totally confused on C. Even if the style was prevalent before WWII without AC, we're still saying there was a major change in architecture (more people going from high roof cielings to low roof cielings). Just because people were fine without it, why does that mean that the addition of AC did not prompt more people to buy them? To me it's like making the following argument:
People claim the trend from most using iPhones to Androids in 2015 because of improved camera quality
But androids were already prevalent without better camera quality
So the change can't be because of changes in camera quality.
How does that make any sense?

I think B is wrong because it's an oversimplified view of their research. That being said, it also covers more of what is said in the prompt. Not sure how we decide which is a more important factor.

Whenever the answer is so obvious like A and so confusing like E, i assume the LSAT is trying to trick me. Took me 3 minutes to realize that E is exactly what the commentator is doing .

Took forever between A and B until I finally realized "wait, they're already comparing paintings outside of the experiment"

Totally misread D to say the opposite of what it is saying. Would be correct if it said "would not" instead

same. this same answer is wrong in many other LSAT questions because it requires such a huge assumption

Surprised this is only 2 stars but what ultimately helped me decide between A and E is that A makes tumeric less "special". If all three can lower protein accumulation, why does the high per capita consumption of tumeric guarantee it's the cause of low incidince alzheimers in India? Other countries may consume much more of rosemary and garlic, and we don't know what relatoinship that has with rates of alzheimers. A just kinda confuses the argument.

Isn't social darwinism also a general theory?

I only got this POE because A-D make no sense. But how do we know that there will ever be a great enough chance for splitting to be "likely"? Guess this is just most spported.

A question that is so stupid I'm just accepting that I would get it wrong on the test. It basically asks us to make the same assumptions as the jerk who made the question.

I'm struggling to understand why C isn't necessary.
If different corporations don't have different philosophies, then how does changing the core philosophy result in becoming a new corporation??

Doesn't the first sentence tell us flouride has already dissolved in order to enter the groundwater? How can sodium in the groundwater help the flouride dissolve if it's already disolved by the time is reaches the groundwater? It further dissolved?

How is the author emphaticly against the constructionist? I feel like that implies some sort of intensity the author lacks.

But it says "if true", so photographs can't depict impossible situations.

So I think here we're weakening the argument by undermining the critic's evidence.

The way I decided between C and D:
D: The author's evidence is that they are running more corrections -- surely the editors wouldn't be fact-checking the articles AFTER they have been published. The last sentence is irrelevant if we realize the size of the editorial staff has nothing to do with post-publication error reporting. The source of those corrections must be from an outside source - C.

The key here, I think, is that people get stuck in the "if this is true" part of the argument. But what happens if they find her claims are false? We will just know that Sarah doesn't have psychic ability, but not whether psychic powers exist. We want to be able to logically complete the argument that whether Sarah's claim is true or false, we will be able to determine if psychic abilities exist. B allows us to do so.

C suggests that it is to their benefit, perhaps because it could encourage people to buy additional products (since it won't achieve maximum effectiveness within their trial)?
D conflicts with the claim that the product is oferred FOR FREE

Am I just misreading, and do we have to assume that because they're using the human genome, they must be modeling the human brain?
Surprised this clicked for me quickly
Simply the author is restricting us to the "7 day periods" as the cause of the phenomenon. Beause no other 7-day periods, aside from the industrial one, result in changes in weather, it MUST be the industrial 7 day period causing immense changes in weather? Makes no sense.
