@"Jordan Johnson" said: @Ashley2018 It seems like you recognized the Concept Shift in the stimulus, but are just having trouble applying it to the answer. In the stimulus, we're told: Avg price paid for a new car has increased (compare…

@"Burden.of.Floof" said: @Ashley2018 exactly! And that's one of the implicit assumptions made, in my opinion. The author is assuming that the cave paintings depicted the entire diet. But the predominant theory never says that the cave painting…

@"Burden.of.Floof" said: Jumping in here to see if I can help, one of the things that I love about this test is there are many ways you can look at something and still be correct! I think you could look at it two different ways: 1) AC D i…

@yunonsie said: How does that explain why there aren’t sea animals? If they were two separate groups then how does the diet of indigenous people affect the painters? Because it explains why the paintings didn't depict sea animals but could s…

@yunonsie said: I know an answer choice need to be looked at by itself but (E) is getting at the same idea. What if the painters didn’t sail to and from Norway? (E) talks about them being indigenous. Then the conditional statement becomes irre…

@Christopherr said: Hey there! I would argue (D) is attacking the premise, and I would also say attacking a premise is a valid way of weakening an argument. I know JY says that we shouldn't try to look for questions that attack the p…

@Sar928412 said: I think the lessons on “Causation and Phenomenon-Hypothesis Questions” might be helpful to you, particularly the “Causation Strategy” PDF. In my mind, the author’s argument is the assumption that the painters must have eaten s…
-
@yunonsie said: I don't think (D) attacks the premise because we don't know where the painters came from. We just know that if they came from Norway, then they had to eat sea animals. But the painters could have sailed from Finland and survive…

@McBeck418 said: The stimulus wants you to believe that people who don't pay taxes in the city shouldn't be able to use the services, but that isn't what it's actually saying. The stimulus says outside commuters are benefitting from the low fa…

@canihazJD said: I would say no. Plus what does "strongly opposed" mean? Does it include this specific bus tax? And how many is "many"? 5? 20? Thank you! As a general rule of thumb though, for weakening/strengthening questions, I shouldn…

@canihazJD said: @Ashley2018 yes. Thank you! as for AC D, do the opinions of voters' have any impact on the argument?

@"Granger Danger" said: Manhattan prep explanations are also very useful for the earlier tests that don't have explanations on 7sage. https://www.manhattanprep.com/lsat/forums/q19-fares-on-the-city-run-t1005.html Believe me, I use every…

@canihazJD said: I thought the rationale for raising the bus fares ("city taxes should be used primarily to benefit the people who pay them, aka taxpayers") would come into conflict with answer choice C because it was talking about non-…
-
@"Granger Danger" said: Look at the rest of AC C. If all the city counselors agree that TAX-EXEMPT residents should be able to take advantage of the city-run services, then increasing bus fares would disadvantage those city residents whose low…

@canihazJD said: taxes should be used to benefit taxpayers tax for bus would benefit non-tax payers so increase bus fare instead C: Increased fares disadvantage residents who should be able to ride the bus I also thought t…

@"Granger Danger" said: Hey, I'll take a stab at this. I think this is a tough question and good on you for continuing to work at this question until you understand it! This is how I understand the stimulus: The city-run buses in Gre…
-
@Bagelinthemorning said: Hello @Ashley25, yes, you are right, the bus fare subsidized means that a portion is paid by the government. He is also assuming that people who commute are not paying the taxes. The answer D is incorrect because it me…

@tealeavesbreadloaves said: @Ashley25 That's right! Freeloading is essentially what the argument is based on. I'm glad that helped!! I originally struggled with this question, too, because the stimulus is (intentionally) written in a way that …

@canihazJD said: @Ashley2018 said: Reviving this thread...for #2, how could we infer that there were original scores in existence? The first paragraph does state that some sonatas are "familiar enough" but isn't that a bit of a jum…

@canihazJD said: @Ashley25 said: Agh, I thought the argument was causal, like the London Pianists influenced Continental (European) musicians and the example with Beethoven and the Broadwood Piano was meant to highlight that relati…

@canihazJD said: You need to identify the AC that gets you closest to your conclusion: The public's fear (of accidents) is well founded. C: If (nuclear power) is safe only because the financial security of (the nuclear power industry) dep…

@BlueRiceCake said: The way I read it allowed me to cross out C. Because of the first part of the question, "if a potentially dangerous thing is safe only because the financial... depends on it being safe" didn't sound right. The nuclear …

@WinningHere said: Not sure why we are bringing real world into our analysis. We are to accept the premises as true. Bringing aspects of the real world into question analysis and accepting the premises as true aren't mutually exclusive. I wa…

@WinningHere said: The conclusion is the public's fear ...that wasn't my question. my question was why would the government help out the nuclear power plants with financial liability? seems to me the gov't is admitting they're unsafe. it's…

I don't care how good the tutor is. IMO, $200/hour is just unacceptable. But generally, there is no one size fits all answer. It's really personal preference as to whether you will like a tutor or not, as it is with all LSAT study methods. I've been…

@WinningHere said: J.Y. explains that the conclusion in C doesn't not match. I get that; I watched the video. But that still doesn't answer my question.

@"Timmy Is an Avg Kid that No One Understands" said: I read C to say "nuclear plants are safe only because if they weren't safe they would be sued and go bankrupt and the government is stepping in to save their butts so they don't go bankrupt …

So do you still have questions about this? Your post is kind of unclear...
