this is feeling VERY relevant with my university's TA strikes that just ended

maybe the lsat is secretly written by ucla student workers.....

hey JY, what are your favorite comic series?

I understand why C is wrong, even though I picked it--I think the problem for me on the actual test was that even though C is a comparative statement, I saw "in-store displays that catch customers' attention in answer choice D, which scared me off.

I thought that the argument was assuming that any in-store display would automatically capture attention, and I wasn't willing to make that logical jump. Overall, seems like a smaller problem than the problem in my answer choice anyways, but it's still something that bothers me a little.

One thing that really helped me from the loophole book (that I think would be great for you all to see as well!) is this:

Sufficient Assumption → Conclusion → Necessary Assumption

(tl;dr, NAs are required for the conclusion to even be possible)

It's a pretty standard and easy-to-understand construction, but helpful to think about when you're tripping over your own thoughts, trying to figure out what's what.

salty because i only got questions wrong on this bc my cat went crazy while I was taking it and I had to get up from the problem set like 5 times in the span of 3 minutes LOL
