This is this best explanation so far. Having a scale drawing doesn't mean it was ever used for the purpose of construction. Very weak but the best answer here. I remember 2 years ago, I was so focused on the Greece part.

I hate questions that ask you to jump in someone's head and say what he/she interpreted a statement to mean. My least favorite type of questions by far. It's almost like I have to suffer because someone else can't read.

They weren't really trying with the wrong answer choices here

One of the trickiest questions I've seen. I didn't see the jump from great suffering to just suffering so I fell for D. For D, I see that there is "evidence" given but I don't see how it's relevant. I guess an irrelevant premise is still evidence given.

I couldn't pick an answer even during BR. I don't see how the most explanatorily powerful theory has anything to do with most scientific theories in general. Telling me something about most scientific theories doesn't tell me anything about the most explanatorily powerful theory. I think someone here asked the same thing.

So a correlation supports a causation? My head was spinning on this one. Usually causation is never the right answer.

Probably is a stronger word than may be? Does it mean more likely than not? I didn't know that so I was stuck between A and C although the during BR, I noticed the average vs sometimes and chose C. In everyday language, probably and may be seems to be used interchangbly at least from my understanding

Can someone tell me the difference between a legal case and legal record? I fell for D for Q7 when I was down to D and E. I guess this distinction is important since there's so many law passages on the test

Each = ALL as far as I know and I got rid of A because of that. Sure, we are looking for the best of 5 MMS answer choices but there is simply no support for an all statement regarding her work unless I'm missing something. The rest of the words in A sounds inline with the passage but I have to read and consider the answer choice as a whole.

I choose C but now I see how it's talking about a different set. I can see myself choosing B from POE but feeling kinda bad. The "never" in B seems too strong. I can't predict the future. I know that human cognition alone cannot verify it, but how do you know that i can't use X for a easy verification? Am I missing anything? I hate that MMS questions gets some leeway in the "right" answer choices, especially when surrounded by attractive trap answer choices -- At least with MBT, you know one is definitely true.

Nice explanation! We got a quick but very important lesson on strengthening questions. You must address the premise or else your not answering the question.

Through POE, this is an easy question to get right but I'm convinced that the first sentence can also support the second.

C kind of appears to be a necessary assumption but I don't think it is because of the word most. Change that to a some and it is definitely neccessary

The first time I saw this question the other day, I think I spent too much time with E and ended up guessing between D and E but its pretty clear now that E makes it more confusing.

Although after review, I don't see this as one of the hardest 5/5 difficulty questions. For some reason, it just took me so long. My guess is that this isn't a "cookie cutter" question and it was actually difficult.

Thanks for trying to help. I should have rephrased my comment. I don't think outside knowledge was needed for this question but it certainly would have helped me understand it faster and clearer. I did had a vague idea of the argument but even that kind of understanding took me a long time. For me, this would be the question I allow myself to just guess during a timed PT.

So were asked to jump into a second speaker's mind. It didn't help that his response was one vague line that didn't seem to be relevant. D seems like the only one that has a chance but it took me so long.

Seems like I won't be going perfect on LR becuz of questions like this. There's always another question with new subject matter. Tree regeneration? So they can't be reborn... Wait, trees live more than once? lol what.

Is B the trickiest trap answer of all time or just one of many? I find myself scanning quickly for the right words on the first past so I circled B first but then read C, which saved me. For C, I believe there is definitely a disagreement but I don't think there is simply a yes and no. It seems to be a no and perhaps yes. C is still the best answer though.

So how contractors do their job is knowledge expected for the LSAT.. They basically give clients an estimated cost then later charge them a final cost. Am I missing anything?

C seemed to be the only answer left that I couldn't eliminate but I couldn't understand why it is correct. I thought why couldn't there be a potential reactor site not near a fault but never have earthquakes period. I'm guessing C prevents this possibility but I'm not 100% certain.

Had no clue on this one. I kept eliminating every answer. But after watching the explanation, it's clear why C is correct. I thought C was irreverent because I kept reading it without linking it to the increased temperatures. I thought the increased temperature only meant more yields and couldn't push out that inference before watching the video.

I thought this one out and the only way I can see how negating A destroys the argument would be to assume that microrganisms are endangered. That was never stated.

I was down to A and D and ended up choosing D because I was looking for a link between sympathy and the impact of public campaigns. It turns out that "ignore" is too strong for D to be necessary. But I still don't see how A is necessary. So what if there are no other endangered species besides large animals that are relevant to the most important environmental problems? What if the vast majority of the most important environmental problems deal with non-endangered species? How does negating A destroy the argument? And what does sympathy have to do with the impact of a public campaign?
