Re: Q9 - Technological improvements will enable

I'm really concerned about answer choice A, so I would like to offer my reason for its elimination and you guys can enlighten me on this. I crossed it out because of the second part of that sentence "the greater its need for increased food production". After checking with the stimulus, I c...

Re: Q16 - Publisher: The new year

Just a quick question. Answer choice A also makes me dubious because of the phrase "highest priority", which I used to eliminate A in the first place. The requirement that the company must ship the books in the category mentioned does not mean that it must become the company's highest prio...

Here is my two cents E says that after the implementation of flexible scheduling the increase in job satisfaction, productivity, and attendance of non-managerial ("the typical benefits") is not reflected on those managers, as the managers already have the autonomy of adjusting their own sc...

Q9 - Astronomer: Proponents of the hypothesis that life evol

I am so not getting this question. I think that the flaw is that in spite of the empirical argument against the astronomer's claim, he still thinks his belief is true. How is A the right answer?

Q22 - In marketing their products, drug companies often send

Glad to be the first one to post on this question. Here is how my thinking goes: The stimulus tells us that in a recent survey the belief of some doctors is contradicted by their peers in terms of whether their choices of prescribing drugs are influenced by the gifts from drug companies. I got this ...

Q25 - In most industrial waste products that contain the tox

Since nobody has posted questions for this one, let me take a crack on this and give my two cents ;) Basically, the stimulus tells us that a federal law permits a company to dispose of XTX in a dump on the condition that the concentration is below 500. Wastes with concentration above that level must...

Re: Q8 - One good clue as to which

Hi Noah, Thanks for the explanation which really crystalizes the question for me. At this point, it has come to me that the LSAT test-makers employ the same kind of tactics to fabricate wrong choices for both easy and hard questions. The difference is that in hard questions the language becomes more...

Re: Q13 - Fossil-fuel producers say

This question is such an excellent example in which if we focus on the argument, it will pay off big-time. To strengthen an argument that uses an example to make the point, we need to tie this very example closer with the argument. After realizing this, I was able to see through the wrong answer cho...

Q6 - Citizen: The primary factor determining a dog

Hey guys, I was a little puzzled by this question due to the last sentence following "Moreover". My expectation for the conclusion was actually the last sentence, because I thought the author establishes the adequacy of current laws by undermining breed-specific laws. Not until I read the ...

Re: Q5 - The best explanation for Mozart's death

I think a good way to do this type of question fast and accurately is to focus on the conclusion. Since the conclusion is essentially saying that it's the skull fracture that is responsible for Mozart's death, the sole purpose of the claim "shows signs of partial healing..." is to support ...

Re: Q8

Answer choice (C) is pretty tempting... But it presents European thinkers as actively engaged and unsuccessful at understanding Hopi names. Answer choice (E) does not. The passage is more about how the names of members from the Hopi tribe have purposes different than the way European thinkers think...

Re: Q8 - Trust, which cannot be sustained

Well Tommy, as much as I would like to agree with you, if what you said is true, then your answer goes against your collegue's reply above. What's your reason of eliminating B then? Is it the same as mine? Thanks for replying.

Re: Q8 - Trust, which cannot be sustained

Hey guys, When I was doing this question, I felt very fuzzy about what "presuppose" means. So I put it aside and looked for other hints. What tips me off is the phrase "any professional relationship". While I've become increasingly cynical about absolute words like this, I still ...

Re: Q21 - Since the sweetness of sugared

Thank you guys for the excellent posts above. Here is my two cents. When I worked on this question, the two most appealing choices are B and D. In B, "invariably" tips me off and when I go back to the stimulus, I find out various amounts of sugar would not invariably exacerbate dehydration...

Re: Q24 - Consumer advocate: The manufacturer's instructions

Thank you guys for the previous explanation. I just have a follow-up question about (D). :?: I understand that (D) does not contradict the stimulus, let alone weaken it. However, in a testing situation, the stress level and time constraint might deteriorate my ability to make the right analysis. I w...

Re: Q9 - In addition to the labor

Thanks for the analysis. I was tricked by this argument, as I was so hung up on how the argument feels disconnected within itself. The issue is the equivocation between an expensive wine and a wine that has reputation. My basis is that a wine can be expensive for reasons other than its reputation. H...

I was in the same shoes with many of you as I also chose C. After going back to the passage, I found out that only SEASONAL synchrony is mentioned (Line 23); then the passage goes on how the T-bug would survive under the harsh winter. It's about their seasonal adaptation. I am dubious on whether the...
