No, that's actually true, it's just harder to get a truly random and representative sample of all humans on earth.

But a sample size of 1000 is enough to make reliable predictions about elections in, say, the United States, with a population of over 330 million.

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.)

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.

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.

It really does require a lot of assumptions, and that's why I don't like this question. Just off the top of my head, you'd expect the most traffic accidents to happen in high density cities where there are already emergency facilities. If all the new facilities were built in the outback, where there aren't enough cars for them to get into accidents, then that wouldn't explain why traffic fatalities went down.

So you have to assume a causal inverse relationship between traffic fatalities and emergency facilities, and also assume that the new facilities were being built in places where they were needed.

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.

I made the same mistake as you did with choosing D initially, but being a work of art is a necessary condition for a creation to be considered a poem. What I compared to was saying a certain creature was a non-animal mammal. It's directly contradictory to the stimulus.

The way the stimulus is phrased means that yes, a novel that exploits some of the musical elements of language will be considered poetry as well, since they're acknowledged to be works of art in language. Thus they meet the necessary conditions of being works of art and exploiting the musical elements of language.

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.
