In the initial stage of my LSAT prep, after I got some LR questions wrong, my tutor would ask me to do the questions again without the correct answers (kind of like BR). I then learned to use symbols and arrows to translate the logic, and then I got 90%–100% of them right. I understand how they work, but how are we going to spend time translating the logic given the limited time on the actual LSAT? I get this frustration because I am still in the beginning stage. But let's see how it goes...
I chose A for the answer but chose D for BR. when I think about it (prob bc of my hindsight), one of the support tells you the reason about why students dropped out: feeling not successful in school -> go to work to feel successful. When unemployment rate is high, students can't feel successful through work, so they choose to not drop out. Thus, A would be weakening the argument that the program helped reduce dropouts.
On the other hand, D did not weaken any points made in the premises, and just like someone commented down below, D mentioned about graduates while the entire argument was about dropouts.
got it right in blind review. I chose C first bc I thought "wife had determined a year ago" and "cancel now would be inconvenient" are two indicators of psychological harm to the wife... but I mean probably the ethicist would not endorse it because the husband is having severe chest pain (compare to the psychological harm from the inconvenience that wife would have, husband's chest pain would be more harmful?).
yeah in the blind review I answered B simply making a "reasonable assumption." If the answer choice stated out that the truth would cause psychological harm to the kid, it would be a perfect answer that I would choose immediately.
Got Q3 wrong because i got confused between "the only" and "only". "the only" is a sufficient condition indicator, while "only" is a necessary condition indictor.
