Some thoughts responding to the dispute on Q21: B - the passage doesn't answer wether the themes of jazz have influenced the themes in Invisible Man, because the main point of last two paragraphs is (in contrast to the critics) Jazz provides a model for understanding Invisible Man. The parallel between Jazz and the novel is not about one "influencing" the other per se (the passage never states the novel borrows themes of Jazz). Rather, the parallel proves that Jazz provides a way of understanding the novel. It's about Jazz providing ways to understand the novel, not whether the novel has borrowed themes from Jazz. Once you see why the author brings up Jazz, it's pretty clear that the author doesn't answer the question in answer B.

Why not D? if (D) wasn't true and not all scientific investigators received a grant, then wouldn't that mean serendipity can play a role in scientific discovery? Since they would not have to make clear projections and disregard info not directly related to their research.

Looking for RC drill study buddies aiming 175+

Hi 7sagers, I'm looking for 2-3 study buddies to drill RC detail retention. This uses a drill method from LSAT Hacks website: basically we time each other when reading a passage. After reading, one person asks the other about main point of each paragraph and tests randomly selected details in the passage, such as where the details locate and purpose of the detail. Then the role alternates. This should be helpful for people who have done most passages and look for increasing RC speed/retention. This should take about 1-1.5 hour per session.

Some background info: I'm based in the UK (had a 170 from october Flex and hope to break into 175+ in Jan). If you're interested in serious studying for similar goals and trying out this RC drill, please feel free to pm me. Best of luck to everyone!

To OP, one PT has no indication on how you'll do on the real thing. Similar to you, i bombed PT89 before my Oct. Flex, but still end up scoring in the low 170s on the real thing. Trust the process and the hard work you've put in - they will pay off in Jan flex for you!

PTB.S3.Q14 - Rationale for punishing criminals

If you have done this passage and got Q14 right, would you mind explaining your thought process? The passage says "the second rationale is that a punishment is justified by severity of a crime." This leads me to interpret that the consequence (severity) of the crime matters to punishment. So I was looking at C and E. Can someone who has figured out this question explain where I went wrong? Thank you!
