I just wanted to double-check that (a) and (c) are the same except for the fact that (a) incorrectly qualifies it as "mainly" and that is why it is incorrect...? Is that right? :)

I'm in the same boat!! Help?
I dismissed answer choice B) because I thought its definition/use of the word "medicine" was inconsistent with how it's used in the stimulus. The word "medicine" (5) comes up as a separate entity from the "effective tests" (1) and the two seem to actually be at odds with one another. As Chan Gu said, answer choice B) equates the "advance of medicine" as the "effective tests" -- does this discrepancy not matter?
Also, J.Y. talked a little bit about how "questionable value" in answer choice E) doesn't work because the stimulus doesn't say that the value of the "advance in technology" (=tests) is questionable but rather its usability is... could someone elaborate? Isn't the value of something contingent upon its usability?
Any clarification will be appreciated!! ^^

Has anyone here bought/used the 180watch? I'm wondering if it's worth getting...

Right, so topics like "Argument Part" and "Logic" are all related to the LR sections and are covered in lessons before the "Sufficient Assumption & Pseudo Sufficient Assumption Questions" section...?
I'm just wondering when the lessons related to LR stop so that I can take a break with the lessons and make sure I'm getting the best score I can based on the material provided.
When I finish the "Sufficient Assumption & Pseudo Sufficient Assumption Questions" section, have I finished the Logical Reasoning lessons? In other words, are the topics covered in the previous lessons the only topics in the syllabus that will help me in the LR section of the LSAT?

I understand why all the other answer choices are incorrect but my concern with B) is that it directly contradicts the conclusion of the argument. And from your lessons, it was made clear that neither the premise nor the conclusion should be opposed; rather, it is the support in between that we should be undermining. Am I over-emphasizing that part of the lesson?

Thanks, J.Y. I had used the videos to review the exam after I finished but forgot about it to try to answer my questions. Thanks for reminding me.
Unfortunately, I'm still unclear for #18 and #22. I realize this is just really basic stuff but I'd feel much more comfortable if I could just get them clarified. You or anyone else willing to give me input? :)
Not quite sure if this is the appropriate category to ask this question, but here goes...
I just finished the "Intro to Arguments" lesson and wanted more practice, so I returned to the June 2007 Practice Test. As I went through Section 2, I came a cross a few questions where I wasn't sure how to parse out the Premise (P), Conclusion (C), or Context. As you can probably tell, I'm new at this, so if any of you find it easy to explain one problem or another, any help offered will be much appreciated. :)
#5. --- (My problem = P? C? Is this an argument?)
#11. -- (My problem = is the first sentence "Context" or part of the "Argument (P)?")
#18. -- (My problem = what is P and C here?)
#20. -- (My problem = where does Context end? with "citywide opposition." or with "opposing the new water system,?")
#22. -- (My Problem = where does the C start? with "This has the effect..." or with "which in turn discourages...?")
#24. -- (My Problem = Is C missing?)
ah. gotcha. thanks. :)
