RC Two passage Strategy

Hello,

Can somebody link me the section in the syllabus for the strategies when taking a "double" reading comprehension section? I'm pretty good at all RC except for those questions that have to do with two passages

What confused me is the wording of B. "Amusia results from ...." makes it seem like the lack of ability to discern tones causes Amusia. My understanding is that the symptom (can't tell tones apart) is in itself a result of the illness (Amusia), much like a cough (symptom) is a result of the flu (the illness). Answer choice B, at least to me, makes it sound like the 'illness' is a result of the 'symptom', which confuses the cause and the effect of something.

Any thoughts? How am I looking at this wrong?

Hello all, just had a few quick questions about the LSAT on exam day. I am signed up for the August LSAT.

Even though there are only three graded sections as of 2020, we still take the full four section exam, correct?

What is the timeline for exam day? Should i expect a 5-10 minute break in between each section, or are they strictly back to back?

Also, has anybody actually legitimately prepared for the writing section? I've been studying since around January of 2022, and I haven't done a practice writing a single time. My score keeps on going up when I'm studying the graded portion, so i don't want to waste any time on something that seems to be far more inconsequential.

Simone Biles levels of mental gymnastics. Took half of the video explaining why AC C was right, making fairly hefty psychological assumptions along the way. I chose A because if you only had 5 sources compared to the average of 5000 sources, then it's a lot more likely that your 5 could be an outlier set. JY had to go into human psychology to explain why C is right, which realistically I won't do on test day. Am I missing something major, or is this something I'm expected to do for these curve breaker type questions?

I feel like reaping financial reward after death is a very reasonable assumption to make, so I chose B. I'm still not entirely understanding why B is correct: if its original purpose was incentive through financial benefit and some people don't care about financial benefit, wouldn't that go beyond the original intent?

Can someone point me to the lesson where we go over why the "many" in the problem statement ensures that there is a biconditional? I only had the "arrow" going one way for taking the pledge and not drinking, and it isn't possible to get this one right if you don't know that its biconditional. Thanks

I feel like answer choice E is an overgeneralization: both Winston and Sanjay explicitly mention science or scientists in their responses. As such, it is reasonable to assume that they are talking solely about science Nobel Prizes. To say all Science Nobel prizes are inaccurate indicators, given the information in the passage, would be an unfounded generalization regarding those Prizes. In my opinion, the logical leap to assume they don't want to change the laws (given their grievances) is a bigger assumption than generalizing that those Nobel Prizes, in general, are inaccurate.

If the word "Some" was used in AC E, then I would have chosen it without hesitation, but it wasn't. Does anybody feel the same way?
