Another reason A is wrong is because, in the MP, it says that the capacity... is an adaptation to past environments. Meanwhile, A tries to establish that all adaptations are based on the brain and mental capacities. But we aren't interest in all adaptations, just this one particular adaptation. If you accept the MP as true, as one should, A basically doesn't add anything of substance to the argument.
I had to bring in a relatively significant amount of outside knowledge when I answered this question, namely, that only stars and dwarfs stars have nuclear furnaces. If I didn't know that, I think I may have reasonably assumed that the Earth's core, for example, is a nuclear furnace and thus planets have nuclear furnaces.
It's very tempting on MP questions to skim once you've identified the MC, but in doing so I find I often stumble, as I did in this question by choosing C instead of A. Going back during Blind Review, I immediately saw how I messed up by not paying close enough attention to the numbers.
This confuses the hell out of me, because I do not understand why the phenomenon in the stimulus alone wouldn't prompt the research, regardless of whether the assumption in the stimulus held true or not.
I completely messed up on reading 'although' as and, which led to me not being able to draw a clean, accurate diagram. Lesson learned.
As far as I can tell, the flex will be how the LSAT is conducted for at least as long as the pandemic is a thing and it's unsafe to gather in large groups. There's no telling whether after the pandemic they'll revert back to the digital LSAT and ditch flex, keep flex or an option or move only to flex (unlikely imo.)
