Based on my understanding of the stimulus, the flaw is that the author is assuming that what was true in the past (CPUE is constant= X number of sharks) is still true in the present (because CPUE has remained constant, we must still have X number of ...
Stimulus (paraphrased)
Pamela: physicians in training work long, up to 36 hours, shifts and that fatigue impairs their ability to make the best medical decisions during final portions of their shift.
Quincy: Thousands of physicians have gone ...
Can someone help explain the reasoning for the correct answer? I'm having a tough time sorting through this one. It seems like Antoine's response to Giselle consists of 2 separate arguments: 1) the gas tax shouldn't be increased because its unfair. 2) If ...
The stimulus is confusing to me: when it says "those who regularly work with it," is that referring to "most builders" or another group of people entirely? And when it says it is likely that papercrete is promising for large-scale construction, is that a ...
Can someone explain their reasoning for the right answer? I have a general intuition as to why this is correct, but am having a difficult time articulating it to myself. Thanks so much! #HELP
Would someone be able to help me out with this one? I didn't trust the correct AC from the beginning because I thought it was too much of a sufficient assumption. I know something can be both sufficient and necessary but this question just really got me. < ...
I really need help understanding why there is any correct answer to this question.
It says that one of John's friends must be lying, but how do we know that that is true since it is possible that John is mistaken and he might actually be ...
Hi,
Hopefully someone can help me out. I'm very confused by this question. I have no idea how the logic in this question works. I thought it was about Dolores' ability to fulfil a need, which made E tempting, but I'm struggling to figure out what ...
Can someone clarify what the hell "S" is saying in the first sentence of the stimulus? I understand the rest of the reasoning, but I can't break this sentence down in a way that is meaningful. What is meant by "threatened?" If the trend may not be real, ...
For this question, I conceived the flaw to be"from correlation to causation, and thus to prescriptive assertion". I was threw off by E at my first sight for its first premise "most people who exercise regularly are able to handle stress."
I think that this is one rare occasion where 7sage doesn't do a great job of answering the question. #19 choice A isn't wrong because insular is incorrect (quite honestly it might be a better choice then misguided) however understanding the term " ...
I posted this under the Q-specific help vid, but the discussion forum here seems to get more attention sometimes, so double-posting. Promise to add helpful responses I get to my original discussion for our future LSAT progeny :3< ...
This should've been an easy question but I'm still a little confused. I narrowed it down to A and B super quickly, but am a little confused why A doesn't also resolve the paradox - if the animal plays dead when startled by a loud noise, doesn't this give ...
I really struggle with identifying circular reasoning. The definition of circular reasoning is when the premise and conclusion are the same thing, and the author does not provide any other premises to support their conclusion. So, an example would be, " ...
Hi, Thank you for your time. Please take a look at the following stimulus:
> All students at Pitcombe College were asked to label themselves conservative, liberal, or middle-of-the-road politically. Of the students, 25 percent labelled ...
Can someone please explain how D is correct? because when I read it, it did not seem like it would strengthen the argument, since its says consumers added smaller quantiles of coconut oil as oppose to whole milk.
I've already attempted the question and watched and re-watched the video explanation and there's still a portion of answer choice B that I don't understand. I was initially skeptical of the answer once I saw "most" and I felt that the video didn't explain ...
Does the question stem "The passage is structured to lead to which one of the following conclusions?" constitute a hybrid Main Point/ MBT question? Or, is this more of a MSS type question?
