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 have a quick question for you concerning this Weakening Except question. I understand why A is right, and I always pick A when I come across this question. But I'm trying to have a solid understanding of why other ACs are ...
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 ...

I cannot for the life of me understand how to arrive at the answer to this question. I mapped the biologist's reasoning as Deforestation>/Koalas, and I mapped the politician's as K>/Deforestation. So in order for the politician to be right, we must ...
Aren't there two main ways to weaken an argument? Either by going for the premises (contradicting them) or showing why the conclusion doesn't necessarily follow from them? I thought C did the first, but now I am having doubts. The stimulus concludes that ...
Someone please save me. I chose A because the author is assuming that freedom is worth more than anything else, even more than your life and I feel like A is catching onto to that by saying there could be ...
The stimulus opens with a question, (Is it correct for the gov't to abandon efforts to determine toxicity levels in food supply?) and the next sentence is the answer. How is the answer to that question the MC when the following sentence begins with " ...
I still don't understand why "the only" in answer choice B is valid. My original prephrase was "vote for L or N -> unacceptable." B says: unacceptable -> vote for L and N. It seems that B is the exact reversal of my prephrase.
I'm not sure that I understand why C is right and E is not. It seems to me even though E is not a "good" answer because consultants advice only didn't lead to good outcomes "at first," but it's still a negative outcome based on their ...
I do not understand why answer choice A is an incorrect answer choice. According to the passage, more incidents of injuries occurred on the ski slopes in 1950 than occurred in 1980. The question stem then asks which answer choice most conflicts with the ...
