YES! Thank you! Everyone that had an issue with this question should read this response! I was about to give up on this question and count it as one that I would never get right, but this is SO helpful
I was also confused by the question stem and thought the author was "proposing," or concluding, that space travel was too dangerous...I discounted A because I thought that it was supported, but not what the author was ultimately proposing. Has a question stem like this come up since this PT?
Thanks Sami, I had the exact same thought process as MegMari, but I think your explanation helped! Thinking in the context of the author's main point helps keep things in perspective.
I don't understand how Jennifer's comment doesn't support both the premise and the conclusion? I read the statement "insects prefer to feed on the leaves of abundantly watered plants" as a sub-premise that Jennifer's statement would support?
I don't feel confident with this question...I'm not sure what role the last sentence plays in the stimulus? I had read it as the conclusion, which is why I chose A (I interpreted uses as significance), but am also not sure if it is the author's viewpoint or the educators'? Since I read that as the conclusion, I didn't think the depth/breadth relationship was as important as the significance/factual relationship.
I stay late and study at work for a few hours! This helps me concentrate and eliminates the temptation to crawl into bed once I'm home!
I chose C because I thought that it posed an alternative explanation for the disappearance of the enzyme: The rate at which the milk is heated. Any thoughts? I chose this in my blind review too and would love some help redefining my thought process!
Does the LSAT reuse questions from other tests, i.e. The GMAT? I looked up one of the LR questions (preptest 32 section 4 question 10, western moral values), and a bunch of GMAT forums came up with the exact same stimulus, question, answer choices, and correct answer!
What's a confidence drill?
