This one was hard, but for my future reference, and for anyone else who might want this (possibly not so novel) strategy, I answered by asking myself if each answer choice, if true, helps the skeptic's argument.

@yesterdayseeker "Likes" is the third person singular conjugated form that agrees with the subject "cat". "To drink" is an unconjugated infinitive. I like where your head is at but I think that changing the conjugation would therefore be changing the meaning of the sentence itself. I think the better way to break the predicate down would be just "The cat likes milk."

@mostxareyallyarezthusmostxarey I think it should also be that. The infinitive "to drink" seems like it modifies the conjugated "likes"

I think my strategy for this type of question will go as follows: Find claim in text, highlight it, read answer choices alphabetically until you get the one that matches what you highlighted, proceed to next question

5/5 wow, that's reassuring!

The question about the VNO was so confusing that I narrowed it down to two answers and guessed, after rereading it at least 5 times hahaha

4/5 I thought #2 was two sets of facts like #1 even though "consequently" made me want to label it as a conclusion. I thought 7Sage wanted to trick me 😂

I think Disney is strongest because it states that something can only be true if condition X or condition Y is satisfied. The thing is true, but condition X is not satisfied. Therefore, condition Y is satisfied. Cut and dry, with no room for doubt.

Tigers is slightly weaker because someone may not have the perception that tigers are aggressive and can cause serious injuries, so in few cases it may take more than that singular sentence to convince.

Trash can is the weakest because while yes, it looks like the cat is guilty. This scenario could be explained by an enormous number of things (for example: the cat was behaving that way because he ate something left on the counter and the trash can fell over from a raccoon that came in from outside.)

Winter 2027 LSATs: DMV Study Group?

Hi everyone, my name is Patrick and I'm a new studier starting my LSAT journey and thought it would be super beneficial to study in a small group together either online or in person. I think meeting once or twice a week in a library for an hour or two could be useful for keeping us all motivated, on track and in high spirits for the arduous journey ahead.

Please let me know if you have any questions or suggestions, and best of luck with your LSAT journey :)
