Regarding question 10. I had the same question for the same reason as Goriano.

But then I realized that the second passage is not talking about neurological research. It is actually talking about behavior research!!

I was tricked by "complex" also :oops: However, the position of the critics is that she somehow shortchanged herself and that the domestic novel purposes were more apparent than the slave narrative. However, the rest of the passage is written to refute this view, culminating by saying that...

I just wanted to point out that (E) mentions "comparable" which makes the answer much stronger than a simple correlation argument stating "countries that continue to imprison debtors enjoy greater economic health than those that do not". However, as mentioned before, the argument...

Notice that (B) says what the passage said. It talks about community interests regarding collective ownership in line 34. The private concept does not require such consideration as mentioned in lines 19-21. As others have mentioned, (A) is the right answer because the passage mentions that private o...

Also, notice that the question asks for a "specific" experiment. We don't know what type of experiment she conducted in order to test the hypothesis.

Further, a hypothesis comes before the results. Whereas in (B) we are given the results

I think the answer choice is not so much about having or not having a conscious decision. I think the author is saying that Gluck believes that by not intending to gender differences in writing, the differences will be revealed "with more authority". That is, the differences will be reveal...

I knew the answer was (D) because it fit with the gap in the stimulus. However, I had a little bit of trouble seeing the relationship. I knew that the only was referring to the students with learning disabilities so the relationship was SE==>LD. But when reading it I couldn't picture exactly how ...

I was thrown off by the strong language used in (D). However, shifting its language a little bit makes it a much better answer than the other 4 answers. From the passage we know that using the theory of gravity scientists find that a lot of the mass in the universe is missing. So by using only gravi...

Also, notice the strong language used in (D) when compared to answer choice (C). This tends to be a very good indicator of what the correct answer choice will be. Answer choice (D) tells us that behavior "will persist interminably" whereas answer choice (C) tells us that "it may event...

Regarding question 10. I had the same question for the same reason as Goriano.

But then I realized that the second passage is not talking about neurological research. It is actually talking about behavioral research!!

I first came across this question 9 months ago while I was studying for the LSAT, and I guess now that I'm tutoring the LSAT (privately for now at least), I need some closure. Having read this question probably 300 times, I've gotten myself convinced that every answer choice is equally wrong, as in...

Notice that before looking at the answer choices, the paragraph that most expresses the author's views about the shift is the last paragraph. The first sentence tells us that the author believes that it is a good plan, but that it will require a certain reaction from donors. So we go with this in mi...

For (D), notice that there is not overwhelming evidence to support the fact that doing either duty will have disastrous consequences. There is no evidence that not reporting will have disastrous consequences (all we have is a dream), and there is no evidence that keeping patient confidentiality in t...

I think the answer can be most easily answered by forming your answer before looking at the answers. If you try to analyze the answers one by one, you will often find that there is some possible way in which they could make sense. This leads you to form the belief that there is more than one possibl...

I also think (A) is wrong because it is essentially restating what the scientist says. However, like others said, it takes what he states and goes beyond that by using the word NEVER. The scientist is trying to show that genetic manipulation is not unethical. The techniques are described as unethica...

Good point. But I think the conclusion is stronger than anything that can be proved by answer choice (A). Notice that (A) uses "can be wrong". Is that enough to prove that "you should not"? It seems to me that the introduction of the "if you are right" works in the pass...

Notice that the argument is an ascriptive argument. That is, like a lot of arguments in the test, it is trying to prove that the position of the other people it mentions is wrong. Therefore, the evidence provided is everything else that comes in the argument. The biggest gap that we find is the fact...

I don't know if this is the correct way to do it in all problems, but in this problem it seems like you can diagram "the same" as implying an if and only if relationship. Since the argument is postulating that an action being morally right and having the best consequences might be the same...

Remember that once you have found a candidate for the solution, you can negate the answer choice to see if the conclusion requires its assumption. Negating (C): There are degenerative brain disorders that WILL be curable without brain transplants. If brain transplants are not needed, and brain disor...

This question is a good example of why we should have an answer ready before looking at the answer choices. Summarizing the argument: 1: The handwriting is not Miller's C: Miller was not the joker The conclusion is wrong because it does not follow from the fact that the handwriting is not Miller's t...
