The reason why it’s D is because if you look at the MAIN argument: “so archway must use shoddy, substandard components...”, D is the only answer that can combat that argument. The rest of the fluff within the passage is just detailing that supports the main argument. So, going after the details would not provide the best criticism 😊 good luck to everyone studying for lsat!!!

The key here is identifying the conclusion. It’s actually split, something like “archway dryer is of low quality because they must use shitty components.”
What would weaken that? Maybe there’s another way to have a low quality dryer. This is what D says.

The fact of the matter is it does not matter if you consistently perform well. The argument is weak because we are determining if this specific fire was the result of shoddy components or loose parts. D is a better choice because it addresses the logic of the original statement to show why the resultant conclusion is irrational

Yay!! I got it right, my first video 🥲

Is the LSAT literally just reading comp

[scroobly]

Couldn't B also be a correct answer since D is technically included in it? Due to the fact that "a shoddily constructed appliance can be made of high-quality parts" (D) IS an "aspect of dryer construction that is more relevant to the quality of the finished product" (B) than substandard components being used.

This makes 0 sense to me logically, how could it be D when it quite literally says in a sentence, “concern for QUALITY and safety is conspicuously lacking”???

[melaniakhan]

How is it possible to be D when it literally says in the passage “concern for safety and quality is lacking”?

Man I need to just go to law school and stop playing. Law school tests were always felt to be like kindergarten to me. This is my first question and I got it right.

This isn't a difficult question. It's pretty cookie cutter. Grow some balls and hit up the last 5 questions of an LR section. Kthx.
