Hey,
I think A goes back to the conclusion that "instructions have to be repeated many times". The argument says it has to be repeated many times but overlooks this requirement and simply gives the subliminal command to the clients that they have heard this many times. Therefore, the issue is that it doesn't meet the requirements that it set out
Hey,
The chimps have to be assumed to reciprocate their affection because it says they are similar to humans and humans protect those that give affection out of reciprocal affection for them.
Hello,
from my understanding, the coal reserve from 1990 rolls over to 1991. So, if the coal is not exported and there was less coal in 1991, then either there was none mind or there was some mined but not greater than what was consumed.
Hey,
Yeah, that diagram is right.
The contrapositive would be /strengthen economy->/complete apartment
Hey,
I'm not sure I completely understand your question but the reason E is not correct is because the prospect of 'later' is outside of the scope of the argument. The argument is only concerned with the present moment. Even in the case that the argument is addressing the future, the union member's position is against striking so he would have to argue that striking would not be an option even at a later time.
E is incorrect because it is outside of the scope (time) and it is counter to what the union member is arguing for.
Hey, if it is about the beginning sentence, "to" signifies a a sufficient condition, similar to "if"
9. A. it is not only about belief but also about representation
B. the passage doesn’t make value judgements what is reasonable
C. This is explicitly mentioned in the first paragraph
D. It is not about changeability but about presence
E. this doesn’t center Frijda’s theory
Therefore, the answer is C.
10. A. it doesn’t say that it is unpredictable
B. Fridja’s theory doesn’t supports that a weaker ability to distinguish will make it stronger
C. This is mentioned in the last paragraph
D. It doesn’t distinguish emotion types
E. it doesn’t distinguish thereat/no threat emotions
Therefore, the answer is C.
11. A. there is no mention of unconsciousness in the passage
B. the paragraph discusses imagining beyond remembrance
C. Yes, when they knowm they won’t be able to think of it as real, it will be imagined
D. the distinction is there to show the different intensities of the emotion
E. It doesn’t say there is no distinction, it says that we extend a reality to it that it doesn’t have
Therefore, the answer is C.
13. A. It is not about irrationality
B. The difference is there to reason out how emotions factor in and the nature of emotions
C. the examples are shown to reject Frijda’s law
D. it is not just panic, it is emotion
E. Yes, the experiences are different (real v. imagined) but the emotions are the same, which challenges Frijda’s law.
Therefore, the answer is E.
14. Could be true answer look.
A. the author believes that emotion is real even if the person doesn’t believe in it so this is false
B. this could be correct because the author does not make a statement that is challenging to the comparative scariness of the two
C. the passage shows that it doesn’t matter what people believe is real since they could still be scared while not believing
D. the passage shows that the movies do not necessarily convince people that these things exist, but still people react
E. the passage shows that the reaction, in both situations, is fear.
Therefore, the answer is B.
15. A. Radford says they know its not real
B. this doesn’t apply to Radford’s principle since the principle is concerned with emotional reaction
C. This is curious because it doesn’t say whether the person is aware that they are not the main person
D. Radford’s theory applies here because the person knows they are not in the real event but yet they experience emotion. However, tears are not emotions. The only other answer in the contest is C, however, C has a bigger drawback than D, therefore, D is the right answer.
E. Radford’s theory doesn’t apply because it is an experienced event.
Therefore, the answer is D.
Passage II
1. Frijda’s law of apparent reality does not extend to art
2. I can still have an emotional reaction while recognizing that it is not real
3. Psychologists-different from nonestthetic emotions. Gombrich-emotion from remembrance. Radford-irrationality

B. it doesn’t say that there is no general principle of law, it says that it is not universal, which is different
C. yes, it serves to show that the general principle of law is not universally adopted
D. these are examples but the purpose is to dismiss the universality
E. it is only talking about government contracts
Therefore, the answer is C.
7. A. It is not about legal security guarantees but whether the government has the right to do as they please

8. Weaken: “the very fact that termination and modification clauses are commonly found in government contracts suggests that a governate’s capacity to modify or terminate agreements unilaterally derives from specific contract provisions, not from inherent state power.

3. Not universal-others write it into the contract to be allowed to terminate, they don’t have the power
Hey! It might also help to do an LSAT flex and then a separate RC sections the end by creating them as prep sets.
Hey!
This looks like a PSA question type. We are looking for an answer choice that will guarantee the conclusion.
Conclusion: the mosaic should have been left there.
Premise: we have also the records that we need and it may misguide others.
A. This answer is close to an NA answer but NA answers can serve as PSA andSA answers. If it wasn’t true that archeological reasons were not the only reasons, it would weaken the argument by showing that they cannot return the item to the spot. For example, what if we have to consider social reasons? what is it is a heritage that need to be preserved in a museum?
C. This strengthens the argument by showing why it is there, but it doesn’t completely prove it. It doesn’t say the original location is the only location the materials could be apparent. It could also be apparent in a museum.
Hey!
I noticed a slight difference between the old and new ones. For example, the new LRs are more nuanced than the older LRs. Also, the new ones have comparative passages while the old ones don't. It has helped to use the old ones to drill and the new ones to do full PTs though so you could always do a combination.
Hey!
So there could be a couple of things happening. It could be a rule misread, a rule interpretation mistake, a timing error (running out of time), a set up problem (not setting up a master gameboard or setting up the wrong gameboards), an inference problem (lack of inference or wrong inference), a question type problem (CBT and MBT confusion), or picking an answer first before reviewing the rest of the answer choices.
Right after doing the sections, do a thorough BR. When you correct an answer in your BR that you previously got wrong, ask how you got it right this time and what your process was previously. Also, jot down how you will go about it when you encounter a similar issue next time. Don't see the answer until you have done these steps.
It will also be helpful to have a specific process of how you approach games. Break them down into steps and apply it each time you do an LG section.
Hey! What's your score breakdown for the others?
For LR, what question types does your Analytics highlight as higher priority? You could make a section out of them and drill.
Do you BR? If so, what is your process?
Hello @yilmaelshaday233-180
First off, that's some impressive improvement! One advice I found from The Loophole book is to ask if each potential answer is provable. A provable answer is completely supported by the passage and you can reference back to check it. Each answer for RC is a provable answer, so even if the question asks us to infer, you can often find support for it in the passage. Sometimes the answer is found by joining sets of information or by assessing assumptions. A good question to ask is, "can I be certain there is something in the passage that can support this answer choice?"
You can also use the system that is shown in the explanation videos that shows the differences between most strongly supported and inference.
Hey!
I’m working on the others but it helped me to full proof LG down to 0-2.
21. A. The author doesn’t say the rejected it
B. The author raises doubts but does not explicitly say they are incorrect
C. This argument is made in the latter part of the passage but there is no discussion of Amsden’s points

3. (Amseden)-Navajo is continuous and Anglo-influence uses isolated figures.
4. (Author)-Use of borders did not influence their motor or thought processes.
5. (Author)-The shift from banded and bordered could be a Navajo innovation
6. (Author)-It is not a significant stylistic gap.
16. A. There is no discussion of market control. However, the discussion on reducing competition can be seen as market control. On the other hand, the underlying principle of antitrust laws is the protection of consumer welfare, therefore answer choice E demonstrates this.
B. There is no evaluation on what is easy to demonstrate
C. Both can involve more than one market (tying agreement)
D. It says that charging supracompetitive prices is not an abuse of anti trust laws
E. Although it doesn’t explicitly state this
Therefore, the answer is E.
18. A. There was no distinction made here. The mention of supracompetitive prices is mentioned to explain what doesn’t qualify as antitrust laws.
B. It is a positive use but the purpose is to show what doesn’t qualify as anti-trust laws.
C. economies of scale are discussed for another purpose.
D. Yes, it was a way to differentiate what anti-trust laws cover versus what they don’t cover.

B. There was a discussion of what type of reduction in competition is acceptable (paragraph 3) and what type of reduction in competition is unacceptable (paragraph 4)
C. The preservation of consumer welfare is the principal aim of antitrust laws.
D. They don’t lead to abuse of monopoly power so they don’t necessarily lead to reduction in competition. Furthermore, the consumers can just take their business to another firm
E. It doesn’t directly say that competition is necessary. It does contribute but it doesn’t say it is a necessary step.
Therefore, the answer is B.
20. A. This sentences follows well from the discussion of consumers’ welfare and also discusses the grey area between monopoly power and monopoly power abuse.
B. There Is already a set of related laws (anti trust laws) and everything outside of it is not considered to hurt consumer welfare with the exception of supracomeptitive prices
C. Competition is discussed to link to quality and quantity of products however, the industry mentioned in the paragrapgh before is just an example, therefore, not relevant to the current discussion of antitrust laws on the broader market
D. Anti trust laws do not control supracomeptition
E. The discussion is not about restraints put by the market but the control put by anti-trust laws.
Therefore, the answer is A.
Passage breakdown:-
1. Abuse of antitrust->monopoly power abuse->(1) poses monopoly power, and (2) used to exclude competition
2. Market share is used to indicate monopoly power.
3. Having a large market share or gaining large profit is not antitrust law abuse.
4. It is abuse of antitrust when there is exclusion of competition and use of leverage.
5. The use of antitrust laws is to ensure quality and quantity of products to consumers.
The part of the stimulus that says "total available coal supplies" made me assume that it is about the total in reserve rather than what they mine each year.
