Ok, I'm at the end of my rope.

It's reached the point where i'm asking the Starbucks employees. I have NO IDEA why C is correct and why D is wrong. In fact, I've reread this thing so many times I can recite it. If anyone can help, please do. It's one of the few questions I genuinely do not get. Please point out the part of the passage that supports C before I throw things.

I love each and everyone of you who even try to help me.

    On another note, my BR for this test is a 172. Holy.

    Interesting. It seems this passage is missing a line. It skips line 29, and line 30 is a continuation of a sentence that is not present. Am I insane? It actually looks like something is missing from this passage. @"Dillon A. Wright"

    D is correct, not C. Don't worry you're not crazy lol

    I did the same thing last night with a LG question on PT 62 - repeated it twice before realizing I was right the whole time

    D is right because of lines 10-11.

    I remember this passage and hated this AC as well, but it's kind of a paraphrase and I guess we can just assume that "objects" is "entities". The line says "a defining attribute" which to me doesn't sound essential as the Q asks, but at the same time it kind of does and this is the only AC close to this line reference.

    so yeah, if you were looking for why C is right it's not, it's D lol

    I checked the 7sage version against my LSAC book version. I don't think there is a line missing (unless my eyes are playing tricks on me lol)

    @TheMikey @joyrider8 my girlfriend just confirmed it.

    Look at line mark 25 and count. There are only 28 lines. It then marks line 30. Line 30 is lower case and the sentence doesn't make sense. I check the question bank and the test in the CC and both were like this. I checked on mobile and on PC. There's a damn line missing.

    maybe you're seeing (30) as the first line of the 2nd paragraph? but the (30) is on the 2nd line of the 2nd paragraph.

    idk, unless I don't know how to count, it literally looks fine to me lol

    @TheMikey Okay so I can't figure out how to link it without breaking rules.

    This is how it looks for me though;

    (25) measure would almost...
    (26) unpopular, since most...
    (27) probably feel that the...
    (28) decidedly outweigh the risk.

    NOTHING ELSE HERE

    (30) geographical considerations is that...

    @"Dillon A. Wright" I'm scared! Why does my RC passage not have an entire sentence? I've pulled it up on two different computers and my phone...

    I pull it from the question bank. The youtube video that comes up does not have that line, I've tried it on my phone and two computers!

    What view do you people use?! Have I been using 7Sage wrong forever? Mr. Wright confirmed that it is indeed missing in the "quick view" section, but what other view is there?!
