PT102.S2.Q7

Tuesday, Jan 28

I can see how "C" is the best answer choice to describe the main overall point of the argument, but this answer choice to me is not really satisfying, since it looks more like a brief summary of the important points not really the main conclusion which is "Without some qualification, however, this teaching is bound to mislead." I cannot see a single sign of the word misleading, or something even close that might be worded differently. Can someone convince me that how answer choice C is the main conclusion of this passage?

#help I almost understood the whole process, except for the conditional statement part where it says "and this necessitates increased taxation". How should we conclude that this is referring to the government? why not referring to "problem disappears" or even the whole sentence "Only if the government steps in and provides the homeless with housing will this problem disappear"? I am really confused and appreciate any help in advance!

This is extremely hard, I'm not even anywhere close to the right answer. I thought "leaders sabotage the vote" is the kernel, which still doesn't make sense why it's not. Leaders as subject, sabotage as the verb, and the vote as the object. Can someone correct me?

I understand why answer choice C is correct but I am not convinced how answer choice E is contributing to an explanation? I don't find it reasonable to assume if someone has a more acute sense of their own mortality, then they have more fear of dying. I cannot relate this two together. Can someone help me understand?

#feedback this section was by far the most difficult section for me to understand. Even though I have noticed the importance of this section on the LSAT, but in here it was provided in an unnecessary complicated and disorganized format. The lack of video material kinda doubled it.

I had a totally different interpretation for the AC "A", and please correct me. I thought because it mentions that the increase in Asthma patient's death was in the exact same period as the research, this might be coincidental and that's why doctors perceived it as a serious side effect. This answer choice shows that in those years death from Asthma rose and maybe it was not necessarily because of the Asthmagon, but doctors presumed it that way; which sounds like a weakening answer choice.

Thanks so much for sharing your experience Brittney, that was super helpful! I never would have thought of seeing familiar questions on LSAT. This way, I can spend more time mastering each question type instead of worrying about having enough fresh questions Thanks again for sharing and good luck!

I am still confused about Q2 that why "One method of dating the emergence of species is to compare the genetic material of related species." is not the conclusion? If someone can explain why we should consider it as a fact? I tried to use one of the methods of previous videos and I asked myself "why should I believe this claim?", and the rest of the passage seemed to be a support for that sentence. It sounds more like a claim than a fact to me.

Any help is appreciated!

Lessons · Lesson 1 - fMRI and Privacy

rashysn6sara860

Thursday, Feb 13

I initially chose answer choice A and even after listening to the video I still had a very hard time figuring it out. I am sharing it for anyone who is also confused.

I am going to break down the given data in the stimulus:

1)Both an fMRI and a genetic profile contain information that a patient wishes to keep private.

2)An fMRI contains enough information from the patient’s skull to create a recognizable image of the patient’s face.

3)A genetic profile can be linked to a patient only by a label or matching records.

Now, consider this scenario: you have both the genetic profile of a patient and an fMRI of the same patient. Neither has a label. By looking at the fMRI, you could say, “Oh! That’s John’s face!” (since you can recognize a person’s face from the fMRI). But can you also tell that the genetic profile belongs to John? No! Why not? Because you can only identify the owner of a genetic profile if there is a label on it (e.g., “John…”), or if you have some record that lets you match the data to John.

Therefore, in this situation, the fMRI can put the patient’s privacy at a greater risk than the genetic profile.

Answer choice (B) says: “An fMRI has the potential to compromise patient privacy in circumstances in which a genetic profile would not.”

I hope that makes answer choice (B) much clearer now!

What is the best way to keep the majority of full length tests untouched?

Hello!

I have recently started studying for LSAT. I do have a concern which I thought I might be able to get some help here. I drill different question types now that I am moving forward with learning how to approach each of them specifically, but I am worry that those grouped practice questions are drawn from the actual tests that I will be taking every week to kind of measure and track my progress. If I see familiar questions on those full length tests then my score won't be a great reflection of my progress. Can someone help with that issue? What everyone do to keep the majority of them locked for the full length practice? That would be great if I get some help with your experiences... Thanks!

Lessons · Skill Builder - Negation 1

rashysn6sara860

Thursday, Jan 09

#Question Based on the videos we learned that for negating "All" statements we should follow A ←s→ /B , and for rest of the "Conditional" statements we should follow A and /B . My question is that since "All" is part of the conditional statements can we use these two rules interchangeably? in other words do we have two methods for negating conditional statements? I guess I noticed that in the answers above, so for a conditional relationship like "Everyone enjoys the movies" can we negate it with A ←s→ /B ? or on the other side for "All alphabets are phonetic" can we use A and /B for negation?

In Question#5, what if we had the negated version of what we have now. For example if the last sentence was "The Vale does not support peace securing foreign policies." Then in this case are we allowed to conclude that " Vale economies DOES NOT rely predominantly on trade"?

For Question #5, I did the -Domain and Rule Frame work- as it was written in the answer, however, I was also trying to apply the joint sufficient method (not sure if it's doable),

I considered the first sentence as the domain:

domain: knowledge of the existence of a particular fact is an element of an offense

and diagrammed the conditional statement as below:

believes that does exist -> (aware of a high probability of it's existence -> established)

then I replaced the first arrow with and :

believes that does exist and aware of a high probability of it's existence -> established

the conditional statement above is technically my final statement however the main problem I encountered is that "believing that something does exist" and " being aware of high probability of it's existence" is very similar and doesn’t make sense to me to have them both on one side as a sufficient condition, If I want to be more clear, if someone believes that something does exist then that's enough and we don't even need to looking at the second condition of "being aware of a high probability of it's existence".

I am really confused and would appreciate any help!

I am a bit confused about #2, when we say "All trees are perennial plants with elongated stems.", does that mean trees have perennial plants and elongated stems as something separate or does it mean that the perennial plants themselves should have elongated stems? because if the second one is the correct interpretation I don't find it as two individual thing to show it with the word "and".

I used this method which guided me through the correct answer :

Stated Premise: Recurrent Items --> Expensive props

Assumed Premise: ?

-----------------------------------------------------------------

Stated Conclusion: Recurrent Items --> /lack of props

Expensive props --> /lack of props

or

lack of props --> /Expensive Items (which is AC E)

(not sure if it's correct to assume that recurrent items are a subset of (many of the props Vermeer used)

Lessons · You Try - Coffeehouses and Restaurants

rashysn6sara860

Saturday, Mar 01

I am so confused in processing a lesson that I read somewhere else a while ago, and would appreciate any help (not sure if it's correct and if it can be applied here!

I remember I learned that in a conditional statement like A and B → C we were not able to split the sufficient condition and it's wrong to say

A→B, A→C.

Whereas in a situation where we have A → B+C, it's okay to split it to

A→B, A→C.

With this question above I am a bit confused, in the first sentence we have a conditional statement which says coffeehouses and restaurants → public places, so should't we keep the coffeehouses and restaurants together throughout the question?

I have the sense that it's wrong but can’t help myself.

#help Really wanna know the answer please help if you know.

If we had a different conditional statement in the stimulus, like this one:

Sell Gerbil → ~~S T Fish~~ + S E Birds

then in this situation could answer choice C be the right answer?
