The content of this question is difficult to grasp and the correct answer choice is somewhat well hidden, but the other answer choices are really bad so process-of-elimination was the saving grace.

Wow, so few people who climb Everest don't climb it more than once, presumably just for the giggles. Because apparently, once isn't enough...

"Most" implies "many," but not vice versa. Example: Most house cats are under 12 pounds. This implicitly implies that many (more than 1) house cats are under 10 pounds.

"Many" just means "more than 1," while "most" means "more than 50% of [x]."

That's what initially attracted me to that answer choice. JY seems to confirm our line of thinking at 3:55.

This reminds of me a question that similarly rewards us for paying attention to the descriptors, even if they seem unimportant.

In my mind, answer choice C is basically saying: "Okay, we either replace the old trash incinerator with a new waste-to-energy plant, or add a natural gas-fired plant and keep the old trash incinerator."

The stimulus tells us that the waste-to-energy plant also acts like a trash incinerator.

Adding the new plant and keeping the old one results in more air pollution than simply replacing the old plant. The environmentalists want less total air pollution, so they'll unanimously choose to replace the old plant.

I think J.Y's explanation is better, but hopefully this fills in the gaps.

Hi there,

I'm in a very similar position and scoring range. I'm sure you find it overwhelming, as I do, reading through these sections where people went from 150s to 170s in a matter of months. Very impressive increases, and certainly motivating, but trust me those are the outlier. Most people are scoring like us (or just slightly higher). But I think this shows that hard work shines, and most people don't see these increases because they simply don't put in the necessary time (obviously not taking into account external factors).

In my opinion, you need your LSAT score to stand as tall as possible. In terms of getting into law school, your score is the exclamation mark at the end of your other achievements. Your score is what's going to leave the lasting impression. This is what's going to open the most doors in terms of scholarships. You need to fight for every last point, because your score is basically all that matters. Regardless of what school you're trying to go to, you should be aiming for the highest score possible, given your time and overall ability. Again, MY OPINION :)

I don't think "just wanting to go to a law school" is the best mentality. Why do you want to go to law school? Might be a dreadful question, I know, but you have to be honest with yourself...

Sorry if all of this sounded like a vent haha. Maybe this is just me projecting.... Best of luck!

Q6: I looked at lines 43-45, which clearly describes the author's attitude towards Schoenburg's three styles and its progressions: "his music became more condensed, more violet in its contrasts, and therefore more difficult to follow."

I took this to mean that the relationship was not natural, but I realize that "inexplicable" is too strong of a descriptor. :/

You need to narrow in on the conclusion, which is that "the dogs must have been transported from one of these regions to the other by boat."

Find the necessary assumption by performing the "negation test."

If "E" is negated, then it might make it more likely that the dogs were transported by land because it might've been easier to travel by land than by boat, which directly contradicts the conclusion.
