(A) actually says that the sales would have been lower without the competitor's campaign. That doesn't do anything for the argument. The argument goes like this:
P: ignored my predictions and took the advice of a competing …

Hey I just did this question so hopefully this explanation can help somewhat. First of all don't pick answer choices you don't understand unless you can absolutely rule out the rest. I didn't fully understand A but I knew B wa…

Just a quick addition. According to the MSS core curriculum, here answer choice (A) "will be utterly unsupported." JY writes on MSS questions: "That means there is only one correct answer choice and four very wrong answe…
I hate this passage. My lack of economics background really dug me in.
We're trying to pick a choice the authors would DISAGREE with. (Agree, Disagree and vice versa). I narrowed things down to B and D which, judging by your response, I am assuming…
I don't really see a triple conclusion. I only see one main conclusion, which is the last sentence. The argument is stating that because a lot of the info available to people who are trying to find medical information is mostly bs (quackery), that t…

This is a REALLY, uniquely hard question, and it makes for a really poor vehicle to discuss your actual question: "What do you do if you don't see anything wrong with the argument?" The problem with this question goes w…
@Logician said:
Perhaps trying a top-down approach in which we reorganize the structure of the argument from the conclusion down will prove more helpful.
Conclusion (sentence 3): Widespread effort for more restrictive air pollution contr…

One thing that I have noticed with more difficult strengthen (and weaken as well) questions is that they are argument focused. They are less concerned with trying to strengthen the idea of the conclusion, but the strengthen the…

This is a strengthen question with causal reasoning. So find an answer choice that shores up the relationship between the cause and the effect--look for another example of the same cause and effect perhaps?
Yes…I know it’s…
The stimulus opens with a comparison between the term "pit bull" versus "GS" and "poodle," the key difference being that while latter terms are labels for a specific breed of dog, the term "pit bull" is a label indicating what the dog's function is,…

Paraphrasing is a great tool sometimes, and a time sink other times. For me, I decided that the right answer would probably highlight a difference in the two groups (7% vs 9%), but I also know that trying to think of all the…

What prep test is this? Also is there a specific video where you got that rule from?
It’s PT B…and I didn’t see it anywhere. It was a rule of thumb I thought should be adopted because I’ve seen explanations for strengthen…

Had 2 RC's as well. First RC felt somewhat easy but last RC felt like a doozy. One game of LG really messed me up so I'm bummed about that and there were about 5 solid questions on LR that stumped me as well. Oh well... Janua…

It's definitely a gap that the LSAT expects you to notice, and assuming otherwise is falling for the trap they've laid for you.
You can also look at this conditionally. You're assuming 'aware of threat threat' --&g…

Correct, both are needed for the conclusion to be supported, but the premises do not support each other. The first sentence is something I'd define as a principle, or if that is too strong, a statement the author holds …

I think you're conflating the concepts of awareness and concern in this stimulus. The second sentence only mentions that the public is more aware of the severity of the threat of water contamination when compared to the…

D is wrong because it does not guarantees the truth. The premise says the best students of a modern language MAY so immerse themselves.

I would say that this is a direct comparison, and the flaw is that it is an improper comparison. In short, the argument says that since we mostly agree that a doctor can still be a good doctor even though he is unhealthy, we ca…
