what a load of ##$## .. How I felt about this question and how answer choice E is correct.

Thanks for explanation though JY ..

I understood the idea P-C If Ejected not a planet .. couldnt find the correct answer just guessed and moved on despite understanding the ideas.

I find in most instances I have issues not understanding the logic but understanding with the answer choices are saying

Hey Guys, Im really struggling with this one.

How does JY come up with the two worlds.

All I see is Understand word then know definition and understanding words that occur in the definition.

clearly all babies do not know the dictionary definition of the words uttered.

know definition/→Understand word/ (the contrapositive)

I just dont see how he brings up the idea of bizarre world vs our world.

Damn it ! I diagrammed the question wrong in BR and exam time.

I diagrammed the question stem as S←s→FT and S←s→FT/ ( nailed that)

BUT

I then diagrammed the idea of Client wishes CW→S←s→FT

CW→S←s→FT/

I thought it nailed it A is just the contrapositive to CW→S .. BUT I was wrong :(

Did anyone else have issues with the Lawgic diagram ?

Just frustrating when you remember the section on valid and invalid arguments but mess up because of the diagramming.

Guess more drilling

Hey guys,

For answer D I diagrammed it as Participate- 1yr or more

JY diagrams it as 1yr or more as the sufficent condition and Particpate the necessary

All is Group 1 and its introducing the sufficient condition.

Can someone explain to me why the logic is translated like that. Im still kind of confused.

Thanks

How I was able to go over this question pretty quickly without diagramming logic was thinking how do we get to premise to conclusion

Premise- All members abstain then the matter will be decided by the city voters

Conclsuion- So atleast one member of the city council should vote against the proposal

Missing gap --- Well seems like they dont want the city voters to decide the matter

Answer choice B

This method doesn't help all the time but it can help on some SA questions

Microorganism as species ... thats why I did not pick A ..the word other species not an assumption in itself to think species= microorganism

I thought species .... animal species no umm cant be this

Guess I was wrong

How I was able to eliminate answer choice A in PT was because of the word project... I was left with A and B but B states specifically Dangerous activities .

Did I just get lucky here or is this is another distinction we can make between the answer choices.

I read over A and it seemed to match and quickly went over the rest ... I have a feeling LSAT test writers placed the answer choice as E to probably get a few other test takes to fall for the trap I did. Totally missed the flaw in the conclusion.

You are not alone .. I have been struggling with RC as well. During my BR I go through the passage and do well, averaging around 6 to 7 incorrect (for me thats well lol) However, during timed tests Im on average losing 11 to 12 marks, which is frustrating. I have noticed improvements with pausing after a paragraph trying to understand wth have I just read and summarizing the MP of the paragraph. Using this method it helps in locating where things might be in answering questions and to go over some questions without referring to the text. I'm sure with more passages we read and work on it will become second nature :)

I eliminated B because I thought ..umm sound like an SA .. and picked A. I realize why A is wrong.

F!!@@# I understood the first paragraph and the idea about magnetic variation.. But then I was all confused about the ridge and crest idea. Thanks for the visual mappings JY. Just could not wrap my head around WTF was going on lol

Thanks for the feedback everyone this really helped.

Sorry @ ..my first time posting in the discussion group and was not aware.

I will make sure to post in the format noted.

thanks again everyone!

I got this question correct in both BR and Exam time. However, Im still having problems eliminating the Answer choice C. I chose D because the stimulus facts proves D.

I understand the meaning of some, which can be all some a few. However, I still cant grasp why its wrong.

Can someone please help with an explanation

Thanks everyone for all the advice....

@ I took my time and focused on the stimulus. I realized I had a tendency to read stimulus but focused more of my attention on the answers.

@ thanks for the link and will definitely be going over the LSAT trainer.

@ Its a bit of both. Sometimes I miss the flaw, other times I understand the flaw but fall for the answer choice. I went over Prep test 45 today and circled less of the flaws today. Will be BRing later on too see if the drilling and slowing down when I come across flaws is helping.

@ thanks will start to do that when BR and I'm sure it will come second nature dealing with these questions.

@ Thank you !!

Ive been struggling with group 4 negate necessary groups, especially when the word no appears.

Guess I need to remember it can be a double negative and go back to the group 4 conditional groups.

The moment you grouped the conditional statement I was able to indicate the flaw .. missed an easy mark here :(

I was left with A and D .. When I read A even in my BR I thought it was stating that earth has not passed through clouds of cosmic dust at all. I was thinking .. well who knows .. earth can pass through cosmic dust but an ice age might not occur because the dust cloud was not dense.

I thought D was further proof that dust clouds exist.

@.rizeq thanks :)

@ emailed you Dillon.

Thanks again :)
