(so confused -- please help!) PTC.S2.Q22

Hello!

Could someone please help me figure this AP question out? There's no explanation video for it. The median score of someone who got it right is a 173, and I am aiming for a 170+.

Stimulus: "One can be at home and be in the backyard, that is, not in one's house at all...."

Question Stem: "Which one of the following most accurately describes the relationship between the argument's conclusion and its claim that one can be at home without being in one's house?"

Answer Choices:

A. (not correct)

B. (not correct)

C. (CORRECT)

D. (not correct, this is the one I chose)

E. (not correct)

Admin Note: Edited. It is against our Forum Rules to write out the entire LSAT question and answer choices on the Forum.

How can you tell what pieces of other people's arguments/data is context and what isn't? I understand that "but" and other similar transition words indicate a turn to argument, but "recent statistics"could also indicate additional context. How do you tell context apart from premises that are taken from other people's work (that are being used to support the author's argument)?

Thank you for the advice!

I am running low on time before I am going to take my LSAT. Is the RC portion of the curriculum worth going through after finishing LR and LG? Or would it be more beneficial to start PT'ing instead? I have about 1 month to go before my LSAT test date and I just started working through LG.

I plan on practicing (drilling) LR sections every week to stay on top of that and keep practicing while going through the LG course (which is way shorter than the LR course oh my gosh). When I did my diagnostic PT, it stood out to me that a lot of RC questions are similar to, if not the same as, certain LR questions. So, I guess my question is: is there anything super noteworthy that comes out of the RC portion? Or will drilling LR questions suffice?

Are you sure?
